If you think that's OK, then you have no right to condemn Griffin.
You Americans seem to think that someone having the opposite politics from you makes any behaviour okay. You're in no position to accuse others of being "out of touch with reality".
Seems to me that Griffin's photo lampooned the people you dully call "Libtards" as much as anyone. I saw it as saying, "Here ya go, you're calling for this guy's head, here it is ... pretty shocking, huh? Maybe you should think about what you're calling for, to be sure you really wanted it." (I personally think the same about the people who say Clinton should have been elected; she would have been a disastrous President, with no clear qualities for the role except, you know, vagina.)
But she hasn't played "the victim" at all. She apologised -- I'm guessing because she was condemned, not because she actually thought it was wrong -- and said she went too far. But she's completely in the right to object to death threats; if her mock-killing someone in public office for satirical effect is wrong, how can someone wanting to kill her for it in real life be okay?

It certainly is, Ollie. Though far more due to sulky idiot children like Trump and his lackbrain supporters than someone insignificant like Kathy Griffin.

Oh, seriously, her "apology" is as genuine as her botoxed mug. And she "said" she received death threats? So now we are suppose to believe this paragon of honesty and virtue. LOL I imagine that some people told her to " drop dead" though.
Madonna dreamed of "blowing up the White House". Making death threats to the President is a felony. But far from receiving death threats, I wish those two losers could share a cell in prison.

Go a bit easy, pj. ;-) I did say I thought myself her apology was because she got disapproval, not because she believed what she did was wrong. And I never suggested she had actually had death threats -- how would I know? Or you, for that matter? -- but that my issue was with someone thinking it was fair enough if she had because she was a "Libtard". My own opinion with Kathy Griffin as an entertainer isn't great, but it's foolish to fling ad homs at her just because of her politics. That's a disease that most of the US seems to suffer from.
As for Madonna ... her comment about blowing up the White House seemed truly pathetic, and a desperate attempt to sound relevant on a day filled with histrionics and gross illogic. And that's even before the question of it being a felony, as you rightly say.
I think what both of them share is trying too hard to be noticed, and doing/saying something that showed a lack of judgement. Madonna's comment made me groan and feel embarrassed for her; Griffin's photo mostly made me go "huh?" I didn't approve of it, but mostly I didn't understand the why of it.

Branais- sorry, didn't mean it to sound like I was being hard on you.
But Griffin's "sorry" is a s phony as it gets. I saw the video of her telling the photographer to "get ready to leave the country." She knew what a $h#@storm she was planning to release, too bad she forgot her raincoat and umbrella.
Now she's out there with a civil-rights lawyer. Can you beat that? "Trump is messing with the wrong redhead. I have been dealing with older white guys who have been trying to ruin my career my whole life." The chutzpah! She starts this crap and now she's a victim. I wish the media and the President would totally ignore her. That's the one thing that would drive this attention whore crazy!
Gotta give her credit for being fast though. Couldn't play the race card because she's white. But it took her all of one day to play the "boo-hoo, picking on a plucky little female" gender card. Maybe she'll convert to Islam and decide to become a man. There's TWO more cards she could play!

Where did I say it was "OK," Knucklehead?
Griffin has freedom of speech -- but she can pay for her ridiculous shenanigans in the Court of Public Opinion.
I repeat:
She fired the first shot. She shouldn't be surprised at a reaction. Instead, she's playing the victim -- and even citing sexism. You know... "This wouldn't have happened to her if she was a man." In this case, her vagina serves her well. How lame and low can you go?
The bitch is crazy -- and washed-up, I hope.
