Great Caesar’s ghost!

Poor child…she makes like she’s cut the head off a guy & SHE’S the victim. Now…can a leftist like her ever change? And what of her apology still holds water if any of it ever did?

The “going too far” part was speaking progressive truths outside the progressive bubble, thus attracting attention the ugliness of the progressive left.

This has been happening since Obama won and gave the Left cover to come out, but has certainly accelerated lately.

Its definitely the link to ISIS that was “too far”. Her ideological partners do not want to be associated with an image that reminds the peasants of the dangers of terrorism, because even the peasants know beheadings are not cool and edgy.

She forgot to allow for the covfefe.

Of course, her partners ARE associated with the terrorists, in multiple ways, but they keep trying to scrub away the blood with immediate applications of candles and flowers. This was much too close to their true agenda.

Probably so – an astute observation.

Wasn’t long ago that folks made a big stink about a rodeo clown’s “obama act”.

griffin kicked it up several notches – off the Lagasse scale (or was that up to eleven?).

I think we need to start looking at all these people (left or right), not as opinion leaders, with something worthwhile to say, but as entertainers and celebrities, who are seeking an audience, and looking to brand themselves for that audience.

Youtube is filled with such wannabe stars looking to be the next viral hit. The known celebrities cannot keep up anymore.

I believe it is more so in this era of trump, where some of us even feel the need to seek respite from his symbiotic 24/7 coverage, in part because he uses social media the way he does.

Wasn’t it back in the 90s when it seems society began to realize that there’s money in deliberately being “shocking” and behaving “badly”?

roseanne barr come to mind?

Even tipper gore was railing against music and computer games for similar reasons.

Seems tame by today’s standards, doesn’t it?

But what annoys me about KG and he ilk are her various proclamations, “I’m a D list actor.” “I’m an (performance?) artist.” And when the s__t hits the fan, “Oh, I’m just a comedienne.” Bull. She’s a polemicist in sheep’s clothing.

“Look! She’s got blood coming out everywhere!”

The whole thing was just a banzai attack against the President whose main purpose was to throw out the image and express progressive hate; the act was all and that the image was later retracted means nothing.

I bet she was surprised she died.
