Are You Liberals Okay With This? Kathy Griffin Calls 17 Yr Old Willow Palin A 'Dirty Wh*re' And Porn Star In The Making

It should give the Independents in swing states who elected Obama in '08 cause to reflect on the likes of the crowd with which they've chosen to align themselves. And perhaps to exercise a bit better judgement next election.

Like it or not, Griffin is a part of the liberal establishment.

Interesting that you quote Mark Levin of all people. I have heard Mr. Levin say some of the most disgusting and insulting things directed at Americans who are liberal, and especially in the gay and lesbian community. He'll resort to calling Obama and Democrats with the most vile insults.

But two wrongs don't make a right. Although some people mock the idea - from both sides - there needs to be more civility and respect in the area of political debate.
Levin has never been vile as this, towards anyone. Especially someone innocent and young. Its one thing to go after adults who have said and done things, its another to hide behind "comedy" to say the most hateful and despicable things you can think of, especially at a younger person.

Why is it the most immature and vile ones, are liberals? and I never liked people being excused for this crap just because they call themselves a comedian. That is cowardly.

Someone who calls another person a "fagg@t" is an "innocent" now? You've GOT to be joking.

I saw someone explained it to you already, but ill try again. She was even younger when she said that. Kids, teens say things and talk in certain ways sometimes. Get over it.

And really, what is so offensive about the word fg? People can say btch and anything else they chose for the most part. Oh, i forgot, we can't say anything anymore that might offend gays.

Anyways, she was and still is a TEENAGER. How hard is that to understand?

I am fine with it, because that is what she is paid to do.

I think she is a pretty crappy comedian, but then I don't pay money to see her perform.

I just don't have enough energy to be outraged all the time.

Um...yeah, that ^^^

Should people be speaking to and about others like that? Of course not.

That said, I'm pretty sure that when one's mom is the Governor and one takes to social networking one will tend to be viewed as "public personality" and be treated accordingly.

"Babies and teenagers"? That's a grouping now? 16 is the age of consent in Alaska. Pretty much an adult then, wouldn't you say? And the fact is is that both of these people are on TV, which makes them way more alike than different.



Griffin is an attention ***** and a pig who's slop trough is filled by the popular culture's disgust reflex.

We would all forget about her if she ever stopped attacking that which is good and decent.

Yeah, sounds like most people in the entertainment industry.

People in reality TV are good and decent? Seriously? What the heck people? How much lower can we set the bar?

Do you think Willow was treated 'accordingly' by Griffin?
