“...bigoted outrage at our country’s first black President, that’s in a completely different league than Griffin’s photo...”

She’s a huge, longtime champion of liberal causes and does a metric shitton of charity and support work for our military people overseas and for LGBTQ issues. She’s one of the most politically engaged and outspoken people in the industry and has been devoted to equal rights and supporting the troops in tangible ways…

They only get to do that if you let them. Frankly Griffin isn’t elected to any office nor does she have any sort of role with the Democratic party so I don’t see why suddenly we all have to come out and take some stand against her. She shouldn’t have done it and she apologized for it. Lets stop acting like the right…

She’s been an LGBT activist for a while and has worked for AIDS charities such as Aid for AIDS. There’s also her involvement with the USO and going to Iraq and Afghanistan.

I’ve only seen one, and it was a Casino.

There’s two big differences.

Especially since, say unlike the people on the right, she actually apologized for it.

Yes people are acting like she actually cut off his head. trump has no problem with people threatening a President’s life. He invited Ted Nugget into the White House.

What she did was tasteless, but everyone needs to quit clutching their pearls, like, yesterday.

THANK YOU.

100% agree. Was it an amazing piece of comedy? Probably not. Is it worthy of all this pearl-clutching and outrage, including from people on the left? HELL FUCKING NO. Also, internet, please stop comparing this to tea party racists burning Obama in effigy and fake lynching him, this is not even remotely comparable.…

Man, this community’s willingness to shit all over Kathy Griffin (who has had an astounding career when you actually look it up) is gross. Our enjoyment of comedy is of course subjective and no one has to like anyone, but yikes.

I love how people are acting like the privacy considerations for elective plastic surgery and essential medical services are the same. The threat of employers discriminating against medical patients with chronic illnesses (for example) is extremely real, and not comparable to the specter of some gossip about a person…

My mother was in Medical Records her entire career, and she was there when computerization came in. She fought HARD and lost. Yes, it’s convenient. No, it is not secure. It’s great to see the way medical professionals work to protect patient privacy, but convenience is opposing them. Heck, I was not even allowed to…

Did I mention again the part where we were stupid drunk 18 year olds? We got silly, we asked questions, and again we never talked about it again. Because once we were sober 18 year olds again we realized that would be shitty to do, so kindly fuck off with the outrage.

We were 18, It was 1994, hipaa wasn’t law yet, believe it or not.

All entertainers- regardless of ethnicity- wear wigs and weaves. Doing your hair to the 9s every day is really hard on it. The only reason people are shocked by white women wearing weaves and wigs is because the racism in the country has fooled everyone in to believing white women don’t do anything to their hair. That…

I volunteered at the Planned Parenthood headquarters in Los Angeles a few days a week awhile back when I was unemployed. It was mostly very basic office work, but my favorite part was filing donor letters and making donation thank-you calls, because I got to see all the famous people who supported PP. It’s nice to…

Not surprising. We’ve been telling y’all this forever.

I’ve worked in the medical field for 30 years (including 12 years for a plastic surgery practice), and the idea that electronic medical records are a boon to patient privacy is, in ways we continue to learn, counter-intuitive. I mean, if you wanted to steal 15000 medical records in the 80s, you’d need a big-ass truck…
