Since when does a newspaper have to print ads that bad mouth it? No one has stopped Big Mouth saying what he thinks. And no one has to repeat it for him.

And it's ok for to Trump be depicted with Hillary's head.. but not Griffin with Trump's.

I detect a pattern here.

Free speech is what Our Leader likes.

Who put Griffin's photo on the news for poor Barron to see? We can assume it was none of the programs censored in his house, can't we?

Poor parental discretion.. both in the language of the father and the program choice of the mother.. even worse taste than Griffin imo

I an beginning to think it will soon be dangerous to speak my mind on this forum.

Try again. It's the left blocking free speach at colleges all across the country. And preventing conservatives from starting organizations.

I'm talking about the president pretending that not running an ad infringes on his free speech. I believe you posted a topic about the bs on campuses. That's s different topic.

I expect the President to know the difference between choice of advertisement and censorship. And not to pretend he has a right to force people to post ads they don't agree with.

Since when is Trump running a political ad on TV networks equivalent to a washed up, never was comedian displaying an image of Trump's severed head? Only in the Loony-Tunes bubble world of unreality.

Kathy Griffin Gets Axed From Every Scheduled Performance Venue…
June 2, 2017
sundance


After appearing with high profile attorney Lisa Bloom to claim her victimhood status the last remaining venue, Uptown Theatre in Napa California, has now cancelled Kathy Griffin’s show.

According to TMZ: Kathy Griffin’s offensive against Donald Trump Friday apparently fell on deaf ears … because the only remaining venue that would allow her to perform has just pulled the plug.

Politics might be downstream from pop culture; but pop culture is downstream from economics. By stating her intention to target the 11-year-old son of President Donald Trump for her attacks, Kathy Griffin has made herself a dangerously toxic financial risk.

When CNN banned Trumps 100 Days of Glory ad, which depicted them as Fake News, he went to town with how his free speech was infringed upon. Nuh-huh! Refusing to print abuse of one's operation is not an infringement of his anything.

And I don't care who thinks CNN & Friends are fake, I support them standing up to bullying. As do many millions of Americans.

I am not defending Kathy Griffin but pointing out that there was a) no such outrage when burning effigies of Obama were flaunted everywhere online and b) during the Trump campaign there was a whole merchandise line of products flaunting a pic of Trump/ Perseus holding the head of Hillary/ Medusa. From mugs and throw pillows to t-shirts.. so as in most such protests, he/your lot went first.

On top of which someone made an issue of this on a tv news program which Barron e was supposedly watching with his mother's blessing. Guessing that would have to be Fox news, the only one which backs Himself up consistently?

There was no need for Barron to see this image butt his fathers news station and his mother made it possible. Instead of protecting him against Griffin after the fact they could have been a little more discerning in what he watches..Poor victims. Not

I feel sorry for Barron for sure that his father thinks the world should bend to his will and opinion. I am not surprised Griffin has had cancellations .. but i remember the outrage when Ted Nugent suffered the same after suggesting Obama suck on his machine gun, and I do NOT remember the Obamas persecuting him for it or using their children as excuses to do so.. because they didn't.

Meanwhile children are dying on a regular basis because his father is bombing them. Not one word of regret from the bomber.

All the outrage over Griffins photo.. Did anyone hear the Trump Familia complaining about the line of merchandise depicting Trump as Perseus holding Hillary's head? Anyone lose their jobs?

How about these works of art

All precede Griffins stunt. I guess they weren't offensive to his trophy hunter sons or Barron, ten at the time..
