I remember Kathy Griffin going after Jerry Seinfeld in her stand up. She dedicated a whole routine to him, calling him the devil and even going so far as to record him on tape and playing it back to the audience. And all because Kramer told her that Jerry had said that she should "Just give up"! Nasty piece of work!

They should knock it off with those Trump pinatas too. Not because they're mean to the Trumps but because they're so unrealistic, as in when one gets smashed open by a kid with a baseball bat it's guts should be full of maggots instead of candy.

Well it may encourage small children to attack him with bats if he ever visits a school

Eat shit and choke on it. Tucker Carlson is correct. The crybully phenomena is becoming identified with the left. Kathy Griffin is just an example of that, but she's part of something much larger on the left. Social Justice warriors, practitioners of identity politics and their supporters are owning the practice.

Crybully: (plural crybullies)

(pejorative) A person who engages in intimidation, harassment, or other abusive behaviour while claiming to be a victim.

You just defined Trump. I thought you were foaming about the Joan clone?

[raydan]

Just as many crybullys on the right as there are on the left.

[PluggyRug]

Naturally, she places all the blame for the whole episode on...Trump. Yeah, it's his fault. He put her up to this stunt, of course he did! After all, it's not like he has anything else to do, right?

Typical Liberal...NOTHING is EVER their fault (because they're liberals and, therefore, always right), so they have to blame SOMEONE! If it ain't Trump, it's his wife, his son, the Russians, the Israelis...it has to be anybody but a Liberal.

None of the extremists are capable of seeing that. Each side accuses the other of engaging in behaviours they are both guilty of committing.

Well first of all, speaking of "foam", I've been to that Trump derangement syndrome thread you like to hang out in, so glass houses and all that.

But as to the point; that would be an interesting debate. Is Trump as much the crybully as Kathy Griffin or other denizens of the left such as the SJWs are.

Trump as self-proclaimed victim of "Fake news" and all that, would be your point, I imagine. I can see that discussion going off in a hundred different directions pretty quick.

I think I'd start by wondering if Trump really does represent the right. I mean sure he's thrown us a few baubles, but we're still waiting for him to come through on the major policies he promised, and he's made more than a few wishy washy maneuvers towards the left.

We on the right just aren't ready to join you guys on the derangement foam patrol and fantasize about a sitting president's severed head just yet.

Now as to that one, that also would make for a crazy debate.

I imagine you would be lining up your examples like Bill O Reilly, Rush Limbaugh, the right wing organization attacked by Obama's IRA, or the restaurant owners, flower shop managers, or wedding photographers dragged into court as homophobes.

I think our side would have to counter that by pulling the crybully definition apart to see if it fits.

Were they legitimate victims? If so when is a legitimate complaint a whine? Who did they bully? Would that bullying equate with the whining as in the case of Griffin's whine being the flip side of her attacks on Trump.

[N_Fiddledog]

I don't think I want to fight the war of thousand disparate, distracting niggles that would come out of those debates.

Instead, I would recommend anybody who might be interested simply watch the world, open your eyes and ignore the distractions demanding you ignore the obvious as to where the crybullies more generally hang.

You all have given her far more attention and credit than she deserves. You've made her more famous than she was before because you gave her photo weight by the reaction to it.

She's been on the d-list for ages. Famous for being terrible. You've made her relevant.

[N_Fiddledog]

Can't deny that.

Sometimes I remind myself of the gopher who pokes his head out of the safety of his den to see what the whistling is all about outside, and gets a 22 slug pasted between his beady little eyes.

Then again...the graphic of that hag displaying herself ISIS style with a sitting president's severed head dangling from her bony hypocrite fingers...well, that's quite the whistle.
