Kathy Griffin Booed By Troops for Bristol Palin Joke; Bristol Responds

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com

Kathy Griffin got a lesson in class from the military. I hope she took notes. While hosting "VH1 Divas Salute The Troops," the troops actually booed her when she made a fat joke about Bristol Palin.

Holly McKay reported on FoxNews.com

Kathy Griffin hosted the VH1 Divas salute to the troops this weekend, but her “jokes” about Bristol Palin being “fat” fell flat.

"She's the only contestant in the history of the show to actually gain weight," Griffin said in reference to Bristol's trip to the finals on “Dancing With the Stars.”

Even after the troops' loud booing, Griffin continued the attack.

"No, come on, come on. She gained like 30 pounds a week, I swear to God, it was fantastic,” Griffin said. “She's like the white Precious."

[...]

But Palin, 20, isn’t letting 50-year-old Griffin’s digs bring her down.

“The audience's reaction to this ‘comedian’ spoke volumes, and the decent people I know would probably have booed her, too,” Palin told Pop Tarts in an exclusive statement. “I hope people didn't have to pay money to hear her negativity and criticisms.”

[...]

“Calling Bristol Palin fat is inappropriate and distasteful, even under the guise of humor,” body image expert and author of “Love Your Body Love Your Life,” Sarah Maria, told Pop Tarts. “The problem is that people, and particularly young people, easily absorb the ideas, beliefs, and attitudes that are presented to them. [It's a problem] when someone makes critical comments about someone else’s body and weight, beliefs such as ‘fat is a horrible thing,’ ‘I am no good unless I am thin.'"

[...]

And while Griffin strutted in a bikini in what she called her “starvation body,” the comedienne wasn’t always so willing to flaunt her figure.

Just last year, the “Suddenly Susan” star admitted that she fell prey to some serious body image issues while seeking out her “big break” in Hollywood. Not only did Griffin get a nose job at the age of 26 in an attempt to improve her appearance, in addition to liposuction that she claims almost killed her, she also reportedly exercised obsessively, starved herself during the day and binged at night.

Having experienced the pain and pressure of show business first-hand, might one think Griffin would be a little mores sensitive to such issues?

“It is quite surprising, given her own experience," Maria said. "One would hope that her own difficulties would awaken a sensitivity, understanding, and compassion regarding the difficulties of body weight and image in today’s culture."

Of course, this isn't the first swipe Griffin has taken at a Palin. She seems to be a bit obsessed, even stooping so low as to trespass the Palins' property, which she managed to do while palling around with Levi Johnston.

Perhaps with the help of being booed by our men and women in uniform, Kathy Griffin will get the not-so-subtle hint: no one is laughing at her mean-spirited--not to mention incorrect--assessment of Bristol's weight.

Feminists: Anti-Conservative Women!!! A Post by Conservative Girl with a Voice

I am sure you are aware that, over the weekend, D-List Actress Kathy Griffin made some very vulgar comments about Sarah Palin, including one comment in which she said Sarah performed a sex act on John McCain when they first met. I don't know what she considers comedy, but it is VERY obvious to me that a joke like that is NEVER funny no matter who says it. Regular readers of my blog are well aware that I am not afraid to call it like I see it. My regular readers also know that I am not afraid to call individuals and groups out when they DON'T act accordingly. It seems to me that Kathy Griffin is a lost cause. While I am angered at the comments she made and continues to make at Sarah's expense, it is not surprising seeing that she is an attention-seeking-walking disaster whose only claim to fame seems to be as Levi Johnston's sad excuse for a date.

Again, I find myself asking: "Where are the NOW women?" "Where are the other feminist groups?" After all, these groups seem to preach female empowerment and equal rights, yet fail to act when one of their own sex is attacked. This is the reason why I strongly believe these so-called feminists are the most cowardly, hypocritical individuals on the face of the earth. Have they ever caused me to view them differently? NO! I am sick and tired of feminist groups picking and choosing whom they will defend. I was a guest on Eddie Burke's show yesterday. As we were discussing this issue, Eddie brought up a great point in that if Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton were the individuals being attacked, the press would hear from these groups in a heartbeat. While it is clear that they would immediately jump to Michelle and Hillary's defense, once again, they stand silent while Sarah is blatantly and unfairly attacked. Shame on them for not doing what so many of us do on a daily basis. When it comes to defending one of my fellow women, I see no color; I see no party. I simply see a fellow woman who is being treated unfairly and unjustly. This is a common sense response that the NOW women seem to ignore, or are just simply too blind to see.

Yet again, we see the difference between the treatment conservative women and liberal women receive. These feminazis are too proud and afraid- yes afraid- to do the right thing. While they are too wrapped up in their own feminist bubble to realize their actions, I am not. There are many individuals like me out there who are not afraid to call these groups out. The more I read and hear about NOW and others who describe themselves as "feminists," the more I question just how pro-women they really are. In the end, it is clear that feminist groups want nothing to do with empowering women, and everything to with pushing their own agenda and only supporting women who represent this agenda. Their motto seems to have become: "Stand with us or else- others WILL attack you." Yep, just another day in the life of so-called women's rights groups.

Kathy Griffin's Attack on Sarah Palin Unwarranted and Outrageous

Let’s put it very simply: what Kathy Griffin did was wrong. Sarah Palin is a classy, virtuous woman. Kathy Griffin is not - as her recent behavior in Alaska demonstrated. It is morally, ethically (and I suspect) legally wrong to attack the reputation of someone just because you disagree with her politics. Not only was Kathy Griffin’s “joke” a blatant lie, but she had the temerity to leave an invitation on Governor Palin’s doorstep for her to endure this vicious attack. This is outright lunacy on Griffin's part, and it makes you wonder if America has lost her mind by tolerating such behavior.

Bill O’Reilly asked the appropriate questions: “Where are those women’s groups? Why do they remain silent while Ms. Pain continues to absorb unfair cheap shots?"

His remarks about the incident occur at about 3:14 minutes into this video.

Kathy Griffin, Unfunny and Un-American

By Adrienne Ross - www.motivationtruth.com

Kathy Griffin may have been invited to the state of Alaska to perform "comedy," but she certainly wasn't invited to Governor Palin's home, which is where she showed up nonetheless--something law-abiding citizens call trespassing. Supposedly, her purpose in walking past a number of "No trespassing" signs on the Palin property was to invite her to the show.

The absurdity of that invitation is only more obvious now that details of the routine have been released, the least of which is that this is the same show where Levi Johnston introduced Griffin. That fact speaks volumes in and of itself.

The most disgusting part of Griffin's routine was her scurrilous comment that Senator McCain picked Governor Palin to be his running mate after she performed a certain sex act on him. I am choosing not to link to the video, as it is rife with vulgarity and Palin Derangement Syndrome symptoms well beyond the pale.

Under the guise of comedy, this lady--and I use the term loosely--comes to the state where Governor Palin was elected and served, then commences to spew sexist venom, suggesting that the governor's selection as the VP nominee could not possibly be because she was qualified. Governor Palin, whose resume includes city council member, mayor, oil and gas regulator, and governor with an approval rating of 93% at one point, was not tapped for her experience and expertise, but because she prostituted herself. Mind you, this is the same nominee who had more executive experience than anyone else on either ticket, but Griffin would have us believe that she "performed" her way into the senator's good graces.

Furthermore, Griffin's comment suggests that Senator McCain, an American hero who displayed incredible commitment to his country, who went through torture of a magnitude most of us will never even wrap our brains around, suddenly had such little regard for his country that one sex act was the deciding factor in who would join him in serving the America he loves and sacrificed so much for.

And this is supposed to be funny?

No matter your political party or your obsession with all things Palin--something Griffin admits to--relegating those who have served their states and their nation to positions of prostitute and john, just to get a few laughs from a few like-minded perverts, is not only unfunny; it's un-American.
