I do have a lot of close friends who have very different beliefs than I do... Some are way more conservative than me and many are a lot more liberal than I am. Makes for fun company sometimes...
And that is when you run into trouble. Last person buying the stock is always the one to get hammered when it crashes.
Wasn't art. Or comedy. It was a hack trying to squeeze the last bit of her career out by joining the in crowd of degenerate celebrities who hate Trump but know he's good for business.
What apology? You mean where she played the fool who didn't know any better and then stated she "went to far". Went to far, as if she was going the right direction with her beheaded Trump idea, just got a little off light. How the Hell nobody stopped her is what is truly amazing. Not one person at the photo shoot, nobody at CNN thought better. Chances are they didn't put a stop to it because they agree in principle with her display.
I agree that someone, anyone, in her circle should have clued her in but CNN was in no position to stop or even know about this in advance. Her only attachment to the network is co-hosting the NYE program. I understand CNN bashing is loads of fun, but is misplaced in this instance.
i don't know why the photographer is not getting more flak. It was a joint effort. He apparently is known for this type of edgy stuff.
No Laws were broken; hence she has not been charged with anything. What Laws have been broken in the reaction to her?
Can't say. It is a big country, but absolutely confident the answer lay somewhere between none and all of them. I'd even go so far as to bet someone texted about it while driving, so I'm leaning heavily toward one as the base.
She exercised her right to free speech/expression; just like those reacting to it. Surly you are not implying she has the right but we/others don't.
So long as those reacting to it are not breaking the law. But no, no implication, at all. Just saying: you are as free to be as butt hurt over free speech as the PC crowd you, and you specifically (and GahLee) so off lament. Inconsistency is after all a wholly American trait. How many laws were broken in reaction?
You nailed me perfectly. Oh wait... ... just as you are free to act like a Jackass like those you lament.
Agreed. I've pegged you exactly right. Even to the point of questioning why the knee jerk hasn't extended to the photographer. I'll quote you to refresh your memory. What laws were broken by those reacting? Or was that just rhetorical, and you really meant to agree that the potential for broken laws in the reaction far out weighs the laws broken by the action?
I said that she apologized; move on. He has said squat so no I do not think it fair that she is taking all the flak. Feel free to continue to act like a Jackass like those you lament.
Why should the photographer take any flak? Someone said something about responsibility. Is the guy who installed my brakes responsible for me following too closely? No. I don't lament jackasses, and will happily tell you I am one. And an asshole. A [penis]. A ****. And lots of other things. Have I offended you? I'm sorry. I forget how sensitive you guys are.
You have not offended me. I like the way you look at things and express yourself. Your post are insightful. Besides I would have to give a ratz azz about what anyone other than my family think of me to be offended.
