Suggest you learn about free speech says the government not private. It is Trump who violates the first amendment. And by the way this is called symbolic speech protected.

Honestly, maybe your the one that needs to read all the meanings of Free Speech and what is and what is not considered Free Speech..

First of all as far as CNN they had full right to fire her I'm sure they have a contract a mile long that pretty much lets them do as they feel is right when it comes down to them breaking contracts with those that is no longer an assets to the company... Contracts over sees your 1st Amendment..

Also when Free Speech goes towards violence you no longer have 1st Amendment on your side~~~ read up~~~

He knows more about free speech than anyone because he's an
enlightened liberal.

Humm well let me enlightened him just a bit more~~

Just like this website if they feel what he/me has said is wrong they can delete it and not a darn thing you can do.. Why cause Freedom of Speech does not over ride the rules of a website.. Same with company's that hire you or show your show ect...

Yes!!!

Incitement ain't free Speech!

She apologized, acknowledged her wrong doing, there's a vicious attempt at ruining this womans career and trying to prevent her from earning a living.

This is equally disgusting IMO... Social media is the devil!

Agreed!
freedom of speech and expression may not be recognized as being absolute, and common limitations to freedom changes in general.. what is the result of this?

Griffin couldn't hold back her tears when speaking with the press, and admitted that she thinks Trump has ruined her professional life, insisting that this would not have happened to a male comic. "I don't think I'll have a career after this. I'm going to be honest, he broke me," she said while crying. "I'm broken."

Who did she apologize to? Now she's sobbing Trump did it?
I think she owes an apology to President Trump.

This whole thing is a stunt. IMO

She did it for publicity because she wants to boost her career. It back fored boo hoo. People say what about Obama? Heck I didn't agree even then. But they did the same to Bish. Sick people are all throughout history and can't blame it on free speech.

People can't say whatever and then boo hoo with back lash. Want free of speech (what isn't exempt) it goes both ways!

Griffin only seemed to apologize whrn the back lash from BOTH sides came. It doesn't make it right, but with Bush and Obama, it wasn't a celebrity taking advantage of their notoriety

They fill our heads with irrelevant crap beat it to death until ya know ever iota of what it is that the issue happens to be that they're filling our heads with so that we are so preoccupied with their incessant drivel that we take our minds off the real issues..

on the upside, her FANS understand her humor and will continue to be fans

on the DOWNSIDE, those who hire her for GIGS may be scared about the possible backlash and not hire her,,,

This is not humor regardless of who it is. It is sick

She only apologized after the back lash and it back fired. She wanted publicity for her career and boo hoo'd when it didn't work. Hell both sides went at her

This is the age of entitlement and everyone seems to be a snowflake

The termites are scurrying to the shadows
By Dan Joppich

Kathy Griffin didn't act alone when she posted that picture of herself with a bloodied disembodied Trump head, and now her cohorts are scurrying to the shadows like termites.

There were likely hundreds of people involved, starting with the photographer, Tyler Shields, and ending with the Hollywood and New York leftist elites she hangs around with who have no problem with bashing Trump in any fashion. You can probably add to this list the thousands of liberals who actually thought it was funny until it wasn't.

First, somebody had to have made the head. I can't imagine that Kathy was up all night playing with finger paints and papier-mâché. With head in hand, she likely was showing it off to all her Trump-hating friends and entourage, who, as like-minded leftists, were laughing their heads off.
Next, the picture was likely taken at a photography studio. Studios are busy places, and when there's a celebrity shoot, you will find a team of assistants on set before, during, and in post-production. It is unlikely that any of these folks looked at what was going on and spoke up, pointing out that maybe this is going a wee bit too far. After all, Trump is vulgar, despicable, and insensitive, so there's no reason to think they can't be, too.

With pictures in hand, Griffin certainly showed them around. That's what "comedians" like her do. They don't just blurt out a new joke on stage. They test the waters first. In this case, everyone she showed the picture to would have agreed that it's perfect and she should post it. Trump won the election but lost his head. Funny, right?

Here's where she went wrong: 100% of her friends, coworkers, and associates think Trump should be removed from office by any means necessary, including, apparently, by public beheading, and replaced by Hillary Clinton.

The community Griffin belongs to thinks there is nothing wrong with putting a crucifix into a jar of urine and calling it art, so a bloody Trump head is just another leftist statement protected by the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Eleventh Amendment, or whatever.

If the supposed comedienne had even one conservative or Republican in her circle, that lowly person might have said, "What if that were an Obama head? Would it still be funny?" Of course, the answer would be "No! That's racist, disgusting, evil, or just wrong." If it's wrong to hold a severed head of one president, why isn't it wrong to do it with any president? What if it was a Coptic Christian's head held by a sword-wielding Muslim with his face covered by a scarf? Is that okay? We won't wait for an answer to that question.

Unfortunately for Ms. Griffin, she must now stand alone and take the punishment while her hundreds of fellow Trump haters, who are probably still not entirely sure what the problem is, scurry back into their dark places like termites and watch.

humor is a subjective taste

the photographer made a grisly imagery off of a Trump quote about a woman 'bleeding out of her eyes, bleeding out of her wherever'

at least it was loosely relevant to the subject being depicted,,,

the image was grisly, some will still find it humorous and some will not


I think its sick, its not my type of humor, but that doesn't mean it is not the humor of anyone else...


I find South Park, for instance, vile and disgusting and not funny but it has a huge following of those who apparently disagree(btw, it has an episode of Trump being raped to death, lets see how many news outlets cover that and for how long and if Trump goes after the shows creators for it)

Yea, she did

Does that mean she needs to be blacklisted for the rest of her career/life?

Did Trump Jr really need to tweet and lobby for her dismissal at CNN?

There's no question that picture was indecent on so many levels but the level of outrage AFTER her apology is quite peculiar, sinister even, that's my opinion.
