Matthew Shepard was killed because of a drug deal gone bad, not because he was gay.

Apparently Kathy doesn't keep up with current events. Seems the Shepperd murder was a drug deal gone bad

I used to think That the communist scare under Senator McCarthy was a black mark against America. That's until I read Ann Coulters book. The libs are super effective at turning events into propaganda that advances their agenda, or masks the libs true motives.
Treason: Liberal treachery from the cold war on.
It's a liberal rosetta stone.

So, why doesn't someone on Twitter straighten her out?

You can do that, right?

Twitchy is a great site for non-Twits.

‘Apples and bananas’: Kathy Griffin compares Phil Robertson suspension to Matthew Shepard murder

Forgive us if we don’t quite see the connection here. Yes, the “Duck Dynasty” patriarch was suspended after he told GQ that he believes homosexuality is a sin, but as far as we know he’s never committed any violent acts against gays. No crime was committed (unless you count thought crimes), and A&E might even be the real victim in the situation, if the Robertsons decide to part ways with the network, as they’ve suggested.

As a result, plenty — including Sarah Palin, Charlie Daniels, Ted Cruz and more — stood up for Phil Robertson’s right to free speech and religious liberty, while Kirsten Powers tried to compare Robertson’s words to those of MSNBC’s Martin Bashir, who with his words wished harm on a specific person.

If those two don’t compare, there’s certainly no comparison to be made to the murder of Matthew Shepard (which might not have had anything to do with Shepard being gay after all, but rather with drugs). Regardless, Shepard’s murder was a horrible crime; as far as we know, quoting from the Bible isn’t — yet.

You can go to the site to read Twitter responses to this sad, aged D-list actress.

I guess I'm a Twit.  I use Twitter for stuff I don't post on Facebook.

It's a vicious cycle.

Neither do I. If someone gets a message from Kathy Griffin saying <insert stupid Kathy Griffin thing here>, he can reply, right?

Anyone that has an account can reply to comments, but and it's a big one,,,,,, Twitter has instituted rules to protect the elite. Celebrities and other well known people can set their accounts to block everyone but other "verified" accounts.

Because celebrities need protection.
Don't they have anything to occupy ?

I don't Twitter or FB -- I learned my lesson for the fun part and just don't want to expose myself to the interwebz.
