We certainly can still disagree, but i maybe i wasnt articulate enough in saying i fully beleive Liberals need to be visciously passionate against him and the neo cons. Fighting fiercely politically, loud proud and bold. Not acceptong normalization of any of their insanity, not cutting them any slack on their hypocracy, cold heartedness and blatant lying, not an inch...

My only disagreement with the pic is we need their passion and boldness just not their tactics reversed like this one.

Though i cant say i blame the Mexicans for the pinata!

In the end it was completely tasteless on her part.

Then again, she's a completely tasteless person. She has no talent at all. The only way she's ever gotten gigs is off of her Jewish friends (starting with Jerry Seinfeld who pretty much single handed made her career) and by doing really stupid publicity stunts.

This one was tasteless to the point of actually being grotesque. She did it to be "over the top" and "shock" people to once again jump-start her also-ran career.

It backfired.

Was it tasteless? Yes.
What it grotesque? Yes.

If you're "shock theater" or Howard Stern, it was funny. If you're CNN or Nabisco or Kraft, it was disastrous.

She was a complete idiot that overplayed her hand and lost. It's ENTIRELY her fault.

That's all there is to it.

There is this Ted Nugent problem with your justification;

Ted Nugent Condemns Kathy Griffin But Calls His Obama Comments ‘Metaphor’

Don't take me wrong. I'm not quoting six gun Ted as an authority. Also not crying "unfair". Just saying that authoriaryans are two faced assholes. In light of what Ted said without repercussions, I'd let Griffin go with a warning.

It's one thing to call somebody names, or say they should be taken out back and have the shit kicked out of them when you're not a TV personality that relies on the general public and reputable sources for your income.

Nugent is Nugent. He panders to assholes because he is an asshole. He's expected to be an asshole.

Kathy Griffin fancied herself the second coming of Kathy Lee Gifford. She's been trying for years to work herself into the inner circles of the main stream media outlets like CNN, Time Warner and others. She pretty much alienated the entire audience of everybody she was trying to market herself to and anybody that would sponsor them.

The two aren't remotely related at all.

What they did and said are completely related. Interesting double standard that you apply.

It's fact. Plain and simple. It has nothing to do with racism. I can use "fellow white people of non-American decent that typically stick to themselves and help each other out" if that makes you feel better.
