LOL, apparently during the shoot she said something to the tune of that she and her photography love to push boundaries or some shit.

What a *****. This is why celebrities should just stfu, and focus on entertainment. Nobody gives a fuck what they have to say, because they are out of touch with reality. They end up hurting their careers more than helping the world.

Yes. Because she put out a picture of her decapitating a white man's head, that white man got her fired.

Anderson Cooper/CNN denounced her.
ChelseafriggenClinton denounced her.

Kathy Griffin is the reason Kathy Griffin lost her job(s).

I think it was TMZ who outed video of her and the photographer discussing how they would have to move to Mexico to avoid being put in prison (going by memory, not exact wording).
This was purely a stunt that she did knowing it would go bad.

But yeah, they aren't the party of racism and sexism. Nope, just identity politics. :RpS_w00t:

You're welcome. Let me know when Republicans want to stop being racist bigots hell bent on 1500's regressive religious radicalism. Sorry the shoe fits and you don't like the label but it's all Fox News identity politics!!!!!

End.

I thought when she apologized that she owned her actions and was contrite.....

Then I read that she is blaming her losing her 'job' on Trump

All I can say is wow! I think we all can agree with Sleeper's little saying at the bottom of his posts. "May you live in interesting times...." Yes we are.

Here's a fun fact that proves some of QO's opinions/statements as correct:

https://www.academia.org/self-identifying-marxist-professors-outnumber-conservatives-as-college-professors/
About 18 percent of social scientists in the United States self-identify as Marxists, compared to only about 5 percent who identify as conservatives, Dunn and Shields reported.
I never would have thought that marxism would be so prevalent. And these people are molding the minds of countless teenagers.

That's kind of concerning. The lack of conservatives might not be surprising, though, given on social issues conservatives trend toward status quo and thus may not be particularly interested in studying issues they believe are settled.

Otherwise, there has been more than a little rumbling in the academic and science community that if you're not in lockstep with the liberal agenda you'll be marginalized or worse. The hard sciences (and economics) generally seem to still be largely free of undue political influence....but many of the social sciences (and, let's face it, this really includes climate change) have been corrupted by politics, probably not coincidentally because soft sciences are so much more malleable for political agendas.

Much obliged. I have had to write some letters to some of these jackasses; mind-numbing.

Well, some universities are starting to see the results of going too far with a leftist agenda. For example: Mizzou's student enrollment is down, layoffs have been announced and even some local eateries are closing shop because of the enrollment.
Not to mention, I would guess that some alumni are being quite stingy nowdays...

Wright states leftist stances starting with feminist groups in the 90's pushing the university to get rid of Rowdy Raider has led them to $30 million in cuts

So true. The rising costs of admission have nothing to do with anything. It's all the damn liberals.

Aren't university faculty and administrations like 90% liberal?

I wouldn't say it's the fault of liberals. It would be the fault of college administrations letting progressives take things too far. Because, as Douglas Murray so rightly points out, they have lost their confidence.

*edit to add*

Murray was citing Horowitz. Vid for reference:
