"Griffin is an LGBT rights activist involved in causes such as same-sex marriage and the repeal of "Don't ask, don't tell". She has also participated in two USO tours. Influenced by acts such as Joan Rivers and Don Rickles, Griffin is known for her conversational style and controversial statements on pop culture, religion and sexuality. She is recognized as one of the top female comedians in the United States. In 2011, she became the first comedian to have four television specials in a year."

And that's why the Left loves her.
Now, a lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. He didn't help me a bit. If it was up to him, Cesar Millan would be up here with that damn dog. So all I can say is suck it, Jesus, this award is my God now![32]
Griffin later explained that she meant this remark not as a slight on Jesus, but rather as a satire of celebrities who thank Jesus profusely and nonsensically for their awards, especially artists who themselves are controversial in their speech and actions.[33]
Her remarks were quickly condemned by the Catholic League which urged the academy to "denounce Griffin's obscene and blasphemous comment."[34] The Academy said that her "offensive remarks will not be part of the E! telecast on Saturday night".[35] Griffin later responded, "Am I the only Catholic left with a sense of humor?"[36] Fox News commentator Bill O'Reilly called Griffin a "pinhead" for her remark, which Griffin considered a "badge of honor."[37][38]
Rickles was a bit of a mixed bag in his heyday...loved and hated
Joan is something of a conservative but soft on cakers..it is her schtick now..the new Liza Minelli sorta for them
Griffin is not Jewish...she is an extremely hateful lapsed Irish ethnicity Catholic...both parents
Most white comics are Jewish..it’s in their DNA..and they used to be pretty good...I still watch you tube with Henny Youngman or the subtle Benny and Rickles had his moments
