The same people who want free speech and freedom of expression are applauding her firing. Incredible. Remember these are the same ppl who celebrate when the quran is set on fire too.

The hypocrisy is unreal.

You could argue this was an attempt at inciting violence, though. It's really stretching freedom of speech/expression.

Ironic that you call us snowflakes...

No one's going to see an image of beheaded trump then go out and try and behead him. That logic is laughable to say the least.

I find those truly despicable, of course.

I was asking whether there was evidence of such hate towards Obama in the mainstream TV/News etc...

For instance, was there a comedian like Kathy Griffin who took a picture/video with Obama's severed head?

I suppose the difference is that she is a major figure (CNN employed comic), while those are just rednecks.

Then again, it is also art, while those rednecks are much more menacing.

It wasn't art. She called it a 'joke'. She isn't an artist, she's a comedian.

This is not 'good', this is absolutely ridiculous and a clear sign of eroding freedom of speech & expression for crying out loud.

Why is it that the right endlessly whine (quite rightfully) about SJWs, PC and the restriction of speech, but the instant anything is done that remotely offends the right they go on the same brigade and demand people be fired etc. it's so ****ing pathetic.

But sure society getting more and more authoritarian is 'good'

Who is 'you' in this context. What am I supposed to be exactly?

There is also an undeniable ressemblance with ISIS beheadings.

People are perfectly capable of carrying out such an attack. Don't be a fool.

Also, I don't think I've called anyone a 'Snowflake' in my life :lol:

Let's, for a minute, imagine Frankie Boyle took a picture of himself with the Queen's decapitated head... would that be perfectly fine too?

Or maybe, someone with a severed head of the prophet Muhammad dipped in pig fat with the caption "Paedos aren't Prophets".

I agree we are entering - arguably already in - a more authoritarian society.
