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

Given the things that right-wing radio show hosts say about Democrats and liberals, I'm surprised that conservatives are so quick to criticize Kathy Griffin for her comments. Then again, maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

I really don't care what Kathy Griffin says. It may be vulgar, but it's free speech, and I support it.

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.
Kinda like Rush Limbaugh calling Amy Carter the most unattractive presidential daughter in history & calling Chelsea Clinton "The White House Dog" when she was 13 and saying President Obama should take his daughters to the airport & let TSA grope them. Then to sit behind his microphone and call Sandra Fluke a **** & a prostitute. And this is the guy the Republicans made an honorary member of the House in 94.
Yes, he's a coward & you righties continually listen to his diatribe as congressional members from your party kiss his ring. You guys are pathetic.

I'm not a fan of her comedy, but she is a comedian.

Dennis Miller says inflammatory crap on the factor, but he's a comedian.

Was she on a news show though.

Anyways, she was and still is a TEENAGER. How hard is that to understand?
Leave it to social conservatives to explain away bad behavior. Calling someone a f@ggot, B*t@h, whatever kind of slur or curse word is always wrong. Just because people do it, doesn't make it right. Honestly!

What Griffin did was wrong, but to be expected as she is a comedian and she goes after people in the entertainment industry, and the Palins are in the entertainment industry. Frankly I question the morals of anyone who allows their children to be on reality TV, as they will inevitably be subjected to ridicule. But that's me.

(Oh, and I exempt the Duggards from the reality TV thing.)

I'm completely ok with it. It's called "free speech".

Guess some of us endure the hardcore facts of public school where kids are not sheltered from reality and call each other that and worse.

Why is it only a few of you that don't appear to be gay are the ones having the most fit about this...........

"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.
Yeah, in another thread you and others were concerned about Tripp Palin.........the difference is Willow is still a teenager, while Griffin is an aging comedian that apparently is having a hard time being an adult and keeping kids off her radar.

Wh*re in the making, Griffin probably hasn't been laid in years and jealousy is getting the best of her.

You mean like when Rush Limbaugh compared Chelsea Clinton to a dog on national television as part of his "comedy" routine?

Oh yeah. Real maturity here - and her defenders say it's just a joke:
