Also, need to consider his 10 yr old son seeing this and the effect it has on him.
Sorry, but he has more important things to worry about.

I understand the difference just fine.

The POTUS has much bigger problems than a D lister taking a tasteless and offensive photo. That is a fact.

The only place I've seen the picture is online -- here and one or two other places.

I think the major networks refused to show the picture?

Did Fox show it?
I saw several, with nothing blotted out. Only later did they blot out the photo.

This was sick and what she's doing to backtrack and claim victimhood is sick. It's all for publicity -- also a sick quest.

And she is targeted because she is female. All the others who did it are male.
Ted Nugent was heavily investigated.

Kathy Griffin Thinks Comedy Should Go All Out on ‘President Piece of Sh**’ Donald Trump

“For me, that’s Trump and all things Trump. It’s not about trying to be an equal-opportunity offender anymore because Hillary got such a beat down. It’s his turn. So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”

So, of course, Griffin supported Rosie O’Donnell when she tweeted a video asking if Barron Trump, 10-year-old son of Donald and Melania, was on the autism spectrum.
This shows malicious intent. Not good for Griffin.

Hateful and sick to go after a child, and to openly state so, which is hateful by itself.

And then she can cry crocodile tears that "Trump family ruined her life" -- did she intend to improve the child's life by going "directly for him" ?

What shameful, disgraceful ugliness from the left. Strike out and hurt anyone -- especially a defenseless child -- that's their game.

What a hateful bunch.

I do not have any sympathy for her. Griffin brought this on by her own actions.

I however think Trump is a hypocrite on this as he and other supporters made assassination comments about Hillary Clinton numerous times at his campaign rallies. He further invited Ted Nugent, who had insinuated that he would take out Obama if he was reelected, to the White House. His moral outrage toward Griffin is fake grandstanding, just like much of everything else he does.

This is the only line that Griffin has crossed, bringing Baron into the mix. Fine, go on the "attack" against Trump. But when you start to bring other family members into your attack, especially children, that deserves a blow back. Not her stupid publicity stunt of a bloody Trump head. I don't care if you think it's vile. It's no different than an offensive movie, song, etc.

I do agree that going after a child is vile and crosses the line.

I do not agree that it's no different than an offensive movie etc. The head thing is vile and was thrust upon viewers unawares. Not even a warning that the following is graphic...

Thrusting THAT upon me is an invasion of my space in a very ugly and vile and repulsive manner.

I can choose what movies I see. I can choose what songs I listen to. I choose NOT to follow her and her comedy routines (she's not funny anyway).

I cannot choose to NOT see this bloody head when it pops on the screen. Totally vile and sick to pull a stunt like that and pretend it's hilarious, a "hoot" and all in good fun.

And I'd feel the same way if it was Obama's head, Bush's head, Hillary's head, or any other.
