The whole "but where was your outcry then?" argument is at the core dismissive of the real issue that she showed a representation of the president's severed head. It's like if a neo national socialist shot up a school and killed 15 people and some muslim or black minorities came out and said "this is bad and all but i remember how vocal you were about muslim terrorism? why aren't you condemning the national socialist attack with as much passion as you condemn islamic terrorism"

it just aims to belittle the issue at hand in favor of your own biased narrative. they're both equally wrong but "you didnt react the same to prior role-reversed event" is handicapped. consider it a trap

McZealot:
Well, the play of it was that Annoying Orange said of Kath Griffin, "There was blood coming out of her eyes. There was blood coming out of her wherever." So the joke was that Annoying Orange's eyes were gushing blood in the photo.

Is it offensive? Not really. It's equally stupid to Annoying Orange's comments. Is it funny? No, and that was kinda the whole point. I don't really care though because she apologized immediately and took the posts down, so, she made a stuffty joke and then apologized. Is the reaction to it appropriate? lol, no.

I am both addressing the severity of Kathy Griffin's image and the severity of having a party-divide between when it's okay to show our head of state getting murdered. There is nothing wrong with bringing this up when it continues to be a pressing issue.

If every single time we go through a media circus where someone butchers a model of our president and then each side hurries to attack/defend it, then nothing is going to change. Liberals have the obligation to call out Kathy Griffin for her bullstuff, regardless of how terrible Annoying Orange is, and conservatives have the responsibility to nip their own party's craziness in the bud before 'Obama effigies' happen again.

McZealot:
It's funny to watch idiots get angry because they feel like this 60 or something year old woman is 'threatening Annoying Orange'. Meanwhile Ted Nugent threatens to shoot Obama and Hillary in front of thousands, screaming 'FREEDOM!'. Annoying Orange invites him to the White House for dinner. It makes it pretty hard to take any of the dissenters seriously.

Now, she's probably approached this the worst way possible. Apologizing and pulling the stuff down was smart. Getting your lawyer to publicly declare Annoying Orange 'the most tyrannical president in history' while trying to spin it so that Donald is in the wrong (you both are lol) is really ridiculous.
