Celebs who wished the President bodily harm

Can criticism of a President go too far?

Kathy Griffin’s photo shoot with controversial photographer Tyler Shields in which she is shown holding a bloodied mask of Donald Trump that makes it look as if the President was beheaded has ignited a firestorm of criticism.

But Dan Gainor, VP Business and Culture for the Media Research Center, said Griffin's stunt was par for the course.

"Kathy Griffin has long gone too far -- even kissing the crotch of CNN anchor Anderson Cooper during a New Year's Eve show," Gainor told Fox News. "She's a shrill, low-talent has-been begging for attention."

Gainor said Griffin is just one of scores of Hollywood celebrities who are out of touch.

"From Oscar winning actress Meryl Streep to Captain America's Chris Evans, entertainers have become an isolated elite who care nothing about offending their audiences," he said.

And Griffin isn’t the first -- or second, or third -- celebrity who has joked about physically harming President Trump.

Many other Hollywood stars have been vocal about their dislike for Trump, and have taken their words so far as to wish him bodily harm.

Just heard that Kathy Griffin has been trying to get her Squatty Potty contract back by agreeing to have her face painted on the bottom on the bowl as a target.

Everyone is missing the boat here in that it wasn’t her idea, it was Tyler Shields’s idea. And with a shoot like that, it is almost always the idea of the photographer or an art director.

Tyler Shields will be remembered for the photograph, but not blamed. It wasn’t even Kathy’s idea, but she will be ruined and forgotten.

Seems the reason liberals were always calling us ‘haters’ is because that’s who they are... it was always projection. Also, doesn’t it seem like they’re mentally unglued?

I wonder when the first museum will fork over $10,000 for an “Art print” of the image.

Headline of the Day Poll

Kathy Griffin’s performances are being cancelled because of her photo of a decapitated President Trump. Is that fair?

No, it was just a joke.
Yes, she deserves to be ostracized.

One point that doesn't seem to get mentioned:

Making a "joke" out of the beheading of Nick Berg (and others) is the equivalent of doing holocaust jokes.

This is something one would never do in public.

I really cringe when I think of the family and loved ones of the real Americans who were beheaded by terrorists having to see that picture.

I think Griffin is stupid enough that if someone just said to dress up in a Gorilla outfit and pretend to eat a Barbie-doll...Griffin would do it.

I am a George Carlan fan. I always admired the amount of thinking that he put into a topic and there was a logic point to his humor. With Griffin, it’s the humor of a 12-year old brat...which is OK for maybe five minutes, but we are going on almost twenty years of the same stagnant and stale act now. She has no real aspects of humor.

This single act of stupidity has put Kathy Griffin on par with that Jane Fonda photo sitting on an anti-aircraft gun in N. Vietnam ,,, it will be the image most people will think about her for the rest of her life ,,,, just ask Jane how that works . Think before you act ,,, especially when your doing something so bazaar . . .

,,,,,,,,, now live with it !!!
