Kathy Griffin show cancelled in Grass Valley

Forums:

I am so sick of all the hate that is happening in Nevada County. The Tea Party has caused lots of problems the last few years, NOW they have reformed into a new splinter group called the " Deplorables "

A representative from ‘The Deplorables,’ a Nevada County coalition of conservative organizations, told The Union in an email that the group planned to hold a ‘major demonstration’ at Griffin’s Grass Valley event before the Center for the Arts announced its decision to cancel it. 

This is only the tip of the iceberg stay tuned for more, this even made the national news today

Unfortunately, due to recent actions for which she has publicly apologized, we have received hundreds of angry and threatening emails and phone calls including threats to the Vets Hall building and our community. While we support Ms Griffin’s public apology we cannot in good faith put our patrons, staff, volunteers, or the artist at risk. We wholeheartedly support free speech but in light of this situation, our first priority must be public safety and we feel it is in the best interest of our community of which we serve, to cancel this event. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.”

I have lived here for almost 30 years and all the hate coming from folks my age is getting really disgusting. 

She Milo-ed herself. 

I don't get it really.  The image isn't THAT bad.  Everyone knows shes a comedian and he is a public figure. Of all the things to get worked up about. Weird.

This site might explain more of the hate I am talking about

You did make me laugh, good one

ned says liberals are just as mad...

most publicity she has gotten in a long time

A better pic would have been one of Fat Donnie Two-Scoops's sexual assault victims, holding up his eyeball on her thumb.

I cant believe they gave her a show in the first place.

"The Deplorables" is a much better name than "Teabaggers".

Kathy Griffin has never been funny, so there is no loss.

I agree, she has never made me laugh. Makes me cringe actually But such a dramatic apology and then getting fired from cnn and all this other stuff over a photograph seems like overkill (no pun intended). Anderson Cooper kind of threw her under the bus a week after saying  "if Trump took on dump on his desk, you'd defend it"  on live TV. Again, I say weird.

She sold out the Vet's Hall with over 900 tickets sold. Kathy's new book "Kathy Griffin’s Celebrity Run-Ins" is selling really well. I heard a interview the other day on KVMR and she was really funny. I am not a huge fan, she does make me laugh. 

She did one show on New Years.  Honestly I don't think she even gives a fuck.  She knows that she is solid C list.

I guess we should have all made threats, bomb scares, etc every time a picture of Obama with a noose around his neck or his likeness was burned & hanged.

 

I have never heard of her until now.

While I will not bother to look her up,  I would offer to call AAA if she had a flat tire at the roadside.

Same goes for almost anyone.

8 years of Obama portrayed countless heinous ways. 

I call bullshit on Barron being traumatized by the image anyway.  What television or news show was he watching where it just happened to pop up?  Theyve been going out of their way not to show the image.  He used his kid as a political pawn in this.  Gross.

She is a beloved figure to the gays. Anderson Cooper and Kathy have great chemistry on their annual CNN new years show. 

Fly you are incorrect. 

The Anderson cooper comment was directed at Jeffrey lord not her.

Hoover....I think I'm back in turtle's head again.

Oh I know that Jr.  It was reported that he said Kathy went over the line with the recent photo. I saw that as throwing his colleague under the bus, ESPECIALLY since he made a recent mistake in the media. 

To be specific A.C.  tweeted  "“For the record, I am appalled by the photo shoot Kathy Griffin took part in, It is clearly disgusting and completely inappropriate.”

Guy makes bucks every year with her at New Years, talks about the president taking a shit on his desk on live TV, then gets all uppity to his "friend" a week later.

I have a problem with that.

Anderson is rumored to be catcher and not pitcher so that might explain. 

the image should be made a billboard and put up in every municipality in America - fuck him , his family and any future progeny 

fake outrage....and she kinda sucks

Was the piece titled Melania's Dream?

But the Nuge gets invited to dinner at the White House.

I guess they never heard of not giving in to terrorists. I would boycott the venue. Publicly and loudly. That is total fucking Bull Shit!

Whether you like her or not has no bearing on this. Can't believe most of you that missed the point.   Wake the fuck up.

Isn't she just Andy Dick in drag?

>> Isn't she just Andy Dick in drag?

Only in Anderson's dreams.

Mark D has strong feelings about all of this. 

I am Mark, I held back my yearly membership and boycotting The Seeds and Country Joe show this month. I also sent them a e-mail telling them how I feel. The politics is what I am more mad about. Lots of my friends are volunteers  as am I, I would hate to see anyone hurt because of the Deplorable group.

With huge hospital bills, a new roof being put on plus the house and decks being painted this only made my decision easier to make.

Welcome to being a new home owner, hope all is going well your way, fire season is here again  OH MY  

 If there was a similar photo with Dennis Miller holding Obama's head would folks not be outraged?

 

Personally, no.

 

Poor taste doesn't piss me off.

I'm all for giving people the rope to hang themselves.

Perhaps she will end up making even more money when this blows over.

 

The Apology Tour.

 

Genius if it goes that way.

Will her comeback gig be as an opening act or, y'know . . . headliner?

73, you seem lean libertarian,  I am interested in hearing from liberals​/progressives on this.

the talabanization of the populace...

Nah, OC, libertarians are dangerous in practice, imo.

Hopefully comedians continue to push the envelope. If for nothing else than to hear the Trumpbot's cry.  "But but Baron sawr it on the TV!!  He's thought his daddy was dead!".  Pure comedy.

 

 

And for the record Anderson Cooper is just another delusional spoiled rich kid --  'I made it on my own!'  Sure you did pal. 

I think its much to do about nuttin.  Your average video game is more violent than the image. Heck, broadcast TV is much bloodier.  I agree its shameful he is using Barron to fan the flames of outrage. Does he not care he is messing up the environment for his children as well? I also agree KG will turn this into big money somehow. I liked her when she was on Howard, but the rest, meh. She is a survivor though. Cancelling the show is stupid for so many reasons.

<<<Anderson Cooper is just another delusional spoiled rich kid --  'I made it on my own!'  Sure you did pal. 

 

 

Andy Cohen had a good bit on their recent AC2 tour where Anderson claims he started working at age 11 and Andy chimes in with "but tell them what you did"  "child model"  "oh it must have been so hard to come home from a long day of modelling to the Vanderbuilt estate.  Did Gloria ask you all about your long days?"

wait, people like pay and make an effort to go see her?

Turtles have never been quick.

Nick cries a little every time ned trolls turtle.

Nick cries when he sees a woman.

keep telling yourself you are doing a good job ned.

Like, like I think Ned is grotty to the max. 

LOL at this press conference. She is trying hard to keep this story in the headlines. "Look at me, I'm crying."

Stop being mean to me, Turtle. I have a private, back-channel line to Judit at the embassy.

Uptown theater in Napa canceled her show, too. 

I Think she Is an idiot ! NOT FUNNY ! DT SUCKS too.

She was funny on Seinfeld.

F this no talent biotch.  She brought this on herself. 

 EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

 we have received hundreds of angry and threatening emails and phone calls including threats to the Vets Hall building and our community. Plus death threats, bomb scares and to shut down the Center if this show went on. 

Lets talk about the people behind these threats. Do you think it is OK to do harm?

I thought the Saturday Night clip last week with Trump kissing Spicer was just as bad, funny but in poor taste. 

Remember when JCC's were getting bomb threats earlier this year? 

<<<73, you seem lean libertarian, 

 

 

Political labels are so reductive and one of the reasons we have this bicameral cluster fuck with monkeys flinging shit from opposite sides of the cage.

 

I like to think of myself as chaotic good.

 

 

Funny thing about that one, Knot, is that Maher was correct in his controversial statement, he nailed it in fact, but its not because he's afraid to work in the Nebraska fields.

Griffin is the "Anti-Nancy Reagan"
