Her photo shoot was ill-advised.

Not sure I’m excited about getting axed and career-killed over an absence of wisdom or perspective. Isn’t that what we accuse the Left of doing?

Freedom of speech means we endure the uncomfortable message and speak back.

I understand your compassion and I can only tell you, that even if we harbor some amount of pity for them, they would still continue to do their very worst to us.

We could advocate the most admirable traits of honor and propriety. They will still scrape up their feces and hurl it at us, all while claiming we are the ones doing it.

It is far past time to collect on the debt of misery. With interest.

This photo shoot was the subject of a background video, and in this video, Kathy Griffin said words to the effect of "well, if people react negatively, I'll just issue a phony apology and that'll be that".

So, in that context, it seems like Griffin is just following through with her phony apology.

It's not like this was a "spur of the moment" thing. Griffin planned this all out well in advance, and planned for this firestorm...

“Freedom of speech means we endure the uncomfortable message and speak back.”

We surely do have to endure it, but that doesn’t mean we have to pi$$ ourselves over this trailer trash. Personally, I’d like for her to repeat her “performance” over in North Korea. Let her swing Kim Jong Un’s bloody head facsimile on local TV and see how long it takes for her to become the female version of Ichabod Crane.

Pulling your ads, boycotting a compnay are also freedom of speech issues.

My guess is with a few more of these types of endings the left will calm down a bit.

No it does not.

Griffin's action was incitement to a murder.

The appropriate response does not involve endurance or tolerance.

WE’RE not a destructive bunch of insane assholes. As far as I’m concerned, every leftist in ANY position of authority in this country - teaching, government, the courts - you name it, should be fired, since their career goal is to destroy our society and our country.

That’s not at all what it means.

Nobody has to endure anything.

No. 1st A does not provide blanket coverage for every form of speech. Hers was illegal.

Freedom to speak as you wish does NOT absolve you of the consequences of your speech or actions.

You are being kind.

But we need to draw a line somewhere or we’ll be bombarded with disgusting stuff like this all the time.

She insulted anyone who’s ever had a family member beheaded by fanatics. Their feelings were worthless to her. Decent people have to say “No” to this. Perhaps other “artists” who are considering something equally disgusting will learn from her chastisement and the world will be a kinder place.

Freedom of speech is fine but it comes with responsibilty.She should have been smart enough to realize that that was going to piss off a lot of people(SHE DIDNT CARE UNTIL IT WAS TOO DAMNED LATE).Now she is paying for her actions because they can have consequences.

We are at war. There is no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, no freedom for citizens bound by laws only for the enemies of the left. What do you think the rules of engagement should be? The left has no honor, they have no decency, and they openly support the death of western civilization.

“Freedom of speech means we endure the uncomfortable message and speak back.”

HER ‘freedom of speech’ ENDS where MINE begins!

I see your point, though. BUT - haven’t you had enough yet? The Lunatics ARE running the Asylum these days.
