The left...unhinged, angry, rabid, beyond mean-spirited

[whell]

I know some of you root for this as freedom of expression. Sad.

This is what the left calls "resistance", or "discourse". Lovely. :rolleyes:

[donquixote99]

"...unhinged, angry, rabid, beyond mean-spirited?" It could only be The Daily Mail.

[d-ray657]

Unhinged is going into a courtroom in Oregon and seeking to justify one's murder of two people as free speech (http://koin.com/2017/05/30/jeremy-christian-expected-in-court-tuesday/), and the racist -right, which just loves Trump, planning demonstrations in support of the murderer. Now should I suggest that those cretins are representative of you and your ideas, Whell? The obvious answer is that Kathy Griffin speaks for me no more than the murder speaks for you, or does he?

[Pio1980]

1. It's Kathy Griffin.
2. After the way the Right treated the last grown-up that occupied the Oval, and the events of the previous posting, I am somehow unaffected.

Perhaps the above graphic started it all though Kathy Griffin went too far. But she has since apologized, but after all she is a comedian.

So, the left is too mean-spirited for ya? What do you think about your racist, misogynist neo-Fascist fellow travelers? Just exercising free speech as they murder people on a train in Portland or in a Charleston church? Feckin' confused snowflake.:confused:

[Noogies]

I didn't like it either, mainly because it wasn't very funny.

[CarlV]

She did admit it to be a joke in poor taste and apologized. Something the fascist dictator Agent Orange is incapable of. Mainly because he cannot be honest and truthful about anything at all.

And an act premeditated cold blooded murder it was is not.

[Chicks]

For the obviously stupid among us, the picture above is a fake severed head, like something from a 50s B movie. It's simply a comedian with bad taste, though not especially offensive compared to the sorts of things Trump and his obscene supporters, like Hannity, do every day.

The picture below is a young man with a hard-earned degree (something few Trump supporters have) with a promising future, cut down in his prime by an idiot Trump supporter, not very different from the idiots at any of Trump's many rallies, where Trump would work them into a frenzy, and encourage them to beat up, even kill, the "enemy".

The head in the top picture is fake. The person below is very real, and very dead, thanks in no small part to Donald J. Trump, the worst president in history.

You come to express your hate by projecting it on others. It is your whole body of work here that is disgusting.

One person? If you bothered to read the accompanying news story, you might have noticed it took a team of "one persons" to create that.

Further, a few years back there was a thread that went on for weeks about how a graphic with a bullseye on it attributed to Ms. Palin inspired Jared Laughner (you'll even see it referenced in this thread) even though there's zero evidence to support it. That "tastelessness" of that graphic was a far cry from a video of a beheaded president, yet where's the hand wringing from the left about the "tone of political discourse" ? Hell, a comedienne was recently celebrated for suggesting that the Prez's mouth is a "cock holster".

We have a news media churning out almost daily fake news with thread-bare or non-existent sourcing. We have Dems taking to the floor of the House calling for impeachment when no evidence exists of any crimes.

But I post a thread in a political discussion forum about a groups of individuals who post a video showing a beheading of a Prez to help promote their latest project, and I'm the problem???

Thanks for demonstrating that I chose the thread title wisely.

One characteristic of people like whell: no matter how well-founded the criticism of them, they are never abashed, they always redouble their attacks.

As noted, he didn't post about a "group of individuals," he used a bit of OTT satire as a club to bash "the left." But that's not the worst. His illogical response above is the worst, because it mixes up all criticism of the President with the mock beheading, attempting to so dismiss all of it.

That's twice now you've spelled 'covfefe' with a 'w.' :confused:

Of course, I can't tell you to use a dictionary in this case....

[Pio1980]

Given the treatment the grown-up previous POTUS got from the Right, I really don't like this stuff in spite of the degree that I despise the incompetent inept pretender squandering our legacy for populist hubris to feed his fragile insatiable ego.

[bobabode]

From Stephanie Miller to DailyKos on the left, this pic from a self described D-lister comedian has been widely panned and rightfully condemned as tasteless.

Funny, I don't remember Whell losing his shit over those lynching and burning in effigies of President Obama. Seems a bit hypocritical.

You either have different information or you're lying. Which is it?

[bobabode]

Another wingnut who needs to grow the fuck up is whining on twitter. I don't recall George Bush or Pres. Obama pissing their pants and whining about idiots throwing shoes at them or photoshopping their face on a 'bone in the nose' witch doctor. When did the right become such whining lil' snowflakes in need of 'safe places' and 'trigger warnings'?

Yeah, because it didn't occur to me that I might have to point out the fact that, at the very least, if Kathy has a severed head in one hand and her other arm at her side, the picture was likely not a selfie. :rolleyes:

[sheltiedave]

Comedy is all about tasteless, beyond the pale, finding the final boundary and broaching it.
The interesting thing about Obama was during his term, it wasn't comedians calling him a nigger that needed to be lynched. It was the right.

[donquixote99]

Another typical item from your playbook. Don't refute the actual argument, refute a stupid argument no one made.

No one said 'Kathy only.' The issue is how you expand the group involved in that production to equal 'the left.'

[Rajoo]

Whatever happened to the 'shock and awe' we value so much?
I for one am in awe of the shocking imagery presented by Ms. Griffin.
It is quite odd that whell is promoting a picture that most everyone here had considered as poor taste; why is that?

[Chicks]

The poor, dumb redneck Bible thumpers, so many of whom were duped into voting for Trump, aren't generally very culturally aware, but they probably know the story of Salome from the Old Testament.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salome

The comedienne's reference goes back a long, long way...

Here's one of the milder images I could find. There are many others throughout art history that would make a bible-thumping republican blush, or want to ban.

Awesome and quite interesting since I would have never made such a connection.
So after all there was art and history behind Ms. Griffin's political imagery.

Interesting allegory, tho' I wouldn't equate the vacuous asshole representing the 'Pubs sociopathic agenda to John the Baptist.

[donquixote99]

Actually, there's many fine art examples, not just Salome.

There's Caravaggio's David:
http://imagecache2.allposters.com/IMAGES/ARIPOD/39150862.jpg

And Judith with the head of Holofernes? Must be dozens of them! This one is especially...dramatic:

I would peg her reference as the two faces of triumph and tragedy, or Janus, or Ethos and Eros, or the bring me his head reference from the last two thousand years of plays.

[Oerets]

Not agreeing with and seeing it as a sick failing attempt at humor. But for the Right to be claiming the high ground for me is even worse! Something like dish it out but can't take it comes to mind.

Guess the Right figured the Left would take it without ever giving it back. Now they don't know just how to handle the sleeping giant Left, Trump's awoken. Seeing the Left does own weapons and are mobilizing is showing the Right to be the schoolyard bullies they are. Who will cower away in fear when confronted. Claiming it just not fair!

Irony is dead when a Trump supporter criticizes anyone else of being angry, unhinged, rabid or mean-spirited. Those exact emotions were the calling cards of his campaign.

[donquixote99]

My God. If we wanted to play tit-for-tat here. A quick spin through most any online comment section would gather a plethora of angry unhinged etc etc.

[bobabode]

I'll give der Gropenfuhrer credit for one thing. He's exposed the Rethuglican party for what it truly has come to be. The party of thuggery and blood sucking oligarchs who's respect for the citizenry extends only to how much they can fleece them for before tossing them and their families in the trash.

Liberals are organizing like never before with an eye toward the upcoming elections and they're funding groups like the ACLU at unprecedented levels to stop Donny Dumpster fire in his tracks. :D

[Rajoo]

The very real mean person here is Trump who did not let Spicer who is a devout Catholic get an audience with the Pope. He took his SIL who is Jewish instead. A chance in a lifetime for Sean Spicer who has been lying for Trump regularly.

All throughout this thread. To deflect from the original topic, forum members conflated artistic rendering of biblical stories and dark-ages stories with Ms Griffin's play on jihadist violence to make a political commentary. Seriously? If folks have to go that far out of bounds to deflect, I guess they've veered into the realm of tacit support for Ms Griffin's style of commentary. This, of course, is combined with forum members bleating childishly about how "Republicans do it too", though I'm sure if Dennis Miller ever posted an internet video of a beheaded Obama he'd be in jail.

Hillarious. You still can't figure out that someone else was operating the camera. By the way, if you bothered to look at the linked article, you would have seen the video, including a segment that showed a number of folks working on the video, and all looking quite proud of themselves.


By the way, most of the forum members here look like people who are sick and tired of your shtick and your trolling.

Man, I feel sorry for you. One guy who disagrees with your opinions bothers you so. Oh well.

[whell]

Oh, boo fucking hoo. We've already said repeatedly that it was over the top and tasteless.
As if the arrogant vacuous asshole didn't troll reaction with his insults and taunts. Fuck Trumpelthinskin babyman and fuck his pathetic apologists.

You're so angry. I guess the title of this thread is spot on.

[whell]

Who cares what SE Cupp has to say in an op-ed on 'Fake News' CNN? She's firmly in the rightwing camp of Trump apologists. :rolleyes:

So you agree that CNN is fake news. Interesting.

[bobabode]

Are you really this obtuse? As I'm sure you know, SE Cupp got her start on Blaze TV.

Naw, you're simply full of manure of the equine variety. ;)

Angry, and exasperated. The idiot in chief is in way over his evacuated head and has no fucking idea what he's doing or how this shit works. The rest of the world is quite aware of what they are dealing with, but not what he will fuck up next. We here just get screwed.
At least under Hillz we'd still be assured of clean air and water, reasonably pure food and drugs, safer work conditions, less predatory business practices,van at least somewhat functional somewhat affordable health care system, more transparent less compromised and corrupt government, stable alliances, and regardless what the assholes at the NRA are spewing, we'd keep our bang-bangs under a sane sensible accountability policy.

But, but.... didn't you hear, Hilary was in cahoots with those Wall Street guys. 😏

Comparatively speaking, yes it is. Yet the Liar in Chief fails to pass that standard and that is absurdly tragic.

Trump is very transparent. Hillary isn't.

[Rajoo]

To begin with, both the Clinton's disclosed their tax returns whereas Trump is lying about it. And this is also getting pretty dicey.

Trump's tweets makes him somewhat transparent but then you don't know what to believe since most are rants or lies. Hillary is not trustworthy but Trump is a crook. This is why these two were the two worst candidates for POTUS.

[Pio1980]

Trump is very transparent. Hillary isn't.

NO, he is not. THAT is absurd !

[Chicks]

Transparent in his lies, you mean? Pretty easy to see through them.

[Pio1980]

Allow to rephrase response.
Trump has always been an obvious habitual bullshitter, that is what passes for "transparent" with him. You know that taking anything he says as factual is foolish without independent corroberation. He is certainly secretive when it serves him.
Also he is highly self-servingly unethical in his affairs, some would say crooked.

You folks are priceless. Incidentally, here's Ms Griffin's words from just a few months ago, before making the video, and weeks after the election. I know that you'll fully support these comments as well.

http://www.vulture.com/2016/12/kathy-griffin-comedy-should-go-hard-on-trump.html

It’s a question a lot of comedians are asking themselves lately: What should comedy look like during the Trump presidency? “Now more than ever we must absolutely go for all the absurdities,” Kathy Griffin told Vulture at the Equality Now Gala Tuesday night. “For me, that’s Trump and all things Trump. It’s not about trying to be an equal-opportunity offender anymore because Hillary got such a beat down. It’s his turn. So I’m happy to deliver beat down to Donald Trump — and also to Barron. You know a lot of comics are going to go hard for Donald, my edge is that I’ll go direct for Barron. I’m going to get in ahead of the game.”

Classy lady, making plans to attack children. Mission accomplished, Ms Griffin. :rolleyes:

[MrPots]

Indeed. All one has to understand is every word that comes out of trumps mouth is a lie, it's as transparent as that.

Were you dropped on your head as a child?

[Rajoo]

On Friday, the California Republican Party began soliciting donations using an image of Griffin posing with the mask of Donald Trump’s head, the Associated Press reported. It urged donors to help fight “the left’s blatant disrespect.”

Shouldn't the GOP be thanking Kathy Griffin instead of demonizing her considering they are using the same picture. Besides shouldn't they worry that this picture may give other kids nightmares?

Respect? For Trump? Not a chance. He deserves to be locked up, not respect.

For the above, I have to take of points for lack of originality.

Well, agreed, if one is doing the job properly.

Moderating would have nothing to do with addressing the appropriate content of posts and more to do with maintaining the site and posting guidelines. For instance, scanning for posts like numbers 101 and 102 in this thread. Nothing wrong with posting the content itself. However, I believe a moderator would delete the post content - the graphic - because the size of the graphic exceeds forum guidelines.

I don't see a big problem with posts 101 & 102, at 90% scaling they are fine.
