Let's Thank Kathy Griffin

This is an absolutely fantastic essay, from Melissa Mackenzie, at the American Spectator, "CNN’s Kathy Griffin and the Face of Tolerant Democrats":

Kathy Griffin and the natural end stop for Leftist ideology: https://t.co/IuOxY7i7rh

— Melissa Mackenzie 🌐 (@MelissaTweets) May 31, 2017

Kathy Griffin should be thanked, at least, for being open about her aims. Her boldness gives the violent game away.

The CNN host, Griffin, these students, and the terrified administrations who enable them, represent power through force, intimidation, aggression, and murder.

Calm exchanges of ideas no longer happen, because one side believes their side is the righteous side. The same zeal that animated towns people to burn the witch, animates the true believers on the Left. The only way to save the sanctity of the community is by eliminating the apostates. More and more people are becoming apostates. The illiberal professors are dismayed to learn this the hard way.

Burn them.

Brand them.

Behead them.

Kathy Griffin should be thanked for making the covert, overt. Her image beautifully reveals the truth of the ideology espoused on the Left: submit or die.

Sound familiar?

Amber Turner Bikini on the Beach in Marbella

At London's Daily Mail, "TOWIE's Amber Turner shows off sensationally slender figure in glitzy peach bikini as she hits the beach in Marbella."

"Towie" is "The Only Way Is Essex," a British soap opera.

Don't care, though. I mostly like the bikini beach photos, heh.

Also at Saw First, "Amber Turner on the Beach in Marbella."

'My hatred of Kathy Griffin isn't a hatred of her — it's a hatred of the vicious caste-based system which says she has more rights than Sean Hannity, and more rights than you, and more rights than me...'

It's Ace, but Kathy Griffin doesn't come up until near the end of this long essay on fighting fire with fire against the social justice left.

See, "Si Vis Pacem, Para Bellum — Again: It is imperative we begin emulating the left in its tactics..."

That's not really a thing.

Lebanon Bans 'Wonder Woman'

Well, I guess the Lebanese are taking a page from the radical left's playbook right here at home. Leftists want to ban everything.

Gal Gadot's banned in the "Switzerland of the Middle East."

The #ParisClimateAgreement is non-binding. Leftist elites are losing their lunch over this lame, useless pact.

Is it Going to Be New Year's Eve with Andersoon Cooper and Kathy Griffin?

It shouldn't be. Frankly, I'm surprised CNN hasn't fired her yet.

Here's Diana West with more, "Playing Beheadings for Laughs":

Even in this day of overexposure to the worst, the lowest, the ugliest, the most degrading, a severed head is still something else -- and it's still there. Even if Griffin were able to remove the bloody thing from the internet altogether (which she is not, given the explosion of copies all around), the image is still there, no matter how "sorry" Griffin is -- and I'm sure she is extremely sorry to be poised to lose, possibly, some very big, very mainstream gigs. It's there inside our own heads along with images of the real victims Griffin is also idiotically and toxically exploiting. Their real death's heads were also designed by other barbarians to shock and psychologically maim the living.

The question becomes, how alive are the rest of us -- starting at CNN?

UPDATE: She's fired.
