The Kathy Griffin picture as art...

[hashtag34]

i am not ok with that - on this - or almost any subject...
i have greater faith in sunlight than in your subjective taste.

ann...

really?
are you really going to push such a literal view?

the griffin images evoke all kinds of things... as they were meant to do...
do you really believe they were only a recipe for violence?

please!

Imo, there's nothing subjective or benign about the image of the decapitated head of one's chief of state.

On a side note - for me, this is unrelated to my own political leanings.

Because as I saw it since I began reading politics: both parties engaged in bad behaviors (some called Melania a whore, others called Michelle ape and so on).
-- And I understood that there was a questionable cartoon (depicting violence) about Obama as well, at one point in time.

If that was a comedian holding up Obama's head would the leftist/liberals be having the same reaction?

You mean something like Ann Coulter holding up a burning cross with the effigy of Obama during Dubya's 2nd term?

I put front cover pics "inspiring" people in the same category as video games or Marilyn Manson albums inspiring teen shooting sprees...I'll just call it bad taste and a civil lawsuit. And yeah, a few lost gigs.

If you want to make a political statement, make a political statement and live with whatever consequences. Don't put a hand carved frame around it and call it art.
