Kathy Griffin tells Jesus to "Suck it!", page 6

Rebutting her statement and taking issue with the general sentiment behind her comments is not getting "uptight" about it. It is a natural response from a rational person confronted with offensive behavior. We can't all be Martin Niemollers. If no one speaks out against hate speech, it will only become more vitriolic.

I can't be held to your aspersions as to my mental state, taken from a few words exchanged on a discussion board. I can assure that I am not "uptight" about this, though. Are you?

if you're not uptight then i'm not laughing at you....
am i? nope.

as for contronted with something offensive, unless she was talking TO YOU, then you were confronted with nothing.

this is your first post

I call for a complete boycott of this woman and her vile brand of humor.

Where is the outrage? Where is the response from this nation's religious leaders?

As a Christian, I am called to forgive. I won't forget, though.

sounds to me, you are pretty uptight....so yeah, i'm getting a kick.
you can forgive, but you can't forget[/drama]

well, icarus has called for a boycott of her vile brand of humor...thats just one dude though.

i think it is humor too, though maybe not for all.

to get all in a tizzy though, seems silly.

no thrill at all really. just answering questions, being honest.
of course i brought that post up...thats the post that you started the thread with, when you were in a tizzy.

just being honest and nothing personal but if you get bent over something like that coming from a comic, then i get a decent lol at that.
what can i say?

as far as knee jerk reaction...maybe
imo though, you got bent and said what you felt....nothing wrong with that. it's your opinion. thats what is right for you.

feel how you feel. i will do the same.

edit*

even though you realized she was just pulling a chain, you still feel like she should issue a retraction though...why man?
retract what...
she either said it to get a rise or she really feels that way..either way, she is allowed that.
she should not be 'forced' to and i hope she does not retract....(i missed if she already did)...
i think people need to stand by what they say.

if people don't agree/like it, thats their problem.
