Go figure. As an atheist, should I be offended when I hear people thanking God during their speeches? This has gone too far.
I'm in total support for Kathy and her remarks. This is definitely a case of double standards. I doubt that they would have censored her if she thanked God for five minutes straight.

I don't believe in hate speech or hate crimes. Griffin is no victim. She's just an overpaid entertainer with no brains and a total lack of appropriateness. Position in life gives no one the right to be offensive for any reason, but Hollywood has taken offensive speech to a new higher level. I just consider people like Griffin very sad.

Censorship. Sadly, in our PC world, being honest is now hate speech, while protecting child molesters is okay.

If she made a remark about Jews, they would be screaming. But the politically correct are OK with remarks about Christians.

I agree, it's both. Though the offended can only be offended if they react to the offense.

I think what she said was in poor taste, but as a Catholic, I'm very sorry to see that group engage in 'Crybaby-ism'
Victimology is for losers

She is a victim of Satan. She as well as others have that right to say what they want but in the end she will regret it.

I just love the hypocrisy of Christians who call stating a nonbelief in their god "vulgar, in-your-face brand of hate speech", but think nothing of being in-your-face about telling others they should follow Jesus.
Go figure.

LONG LIVE POLITICAL INCORRECTNESS!!!!
Honestly stop trying to protect other people's feelings. They'll get over it. So if they complain just tell them to STFU.
