She said that most performers thank Jesus for their win, she said no one had less to do with her win than Jesus. The censors are cutting that comment out of the broadcast to avoid offending people. Do you agree with the censorship?

i like kathy griffin, and i don't agree with the censorship of that comment, if it offends you don't listen to it! to me it's not like she's really putting down Jesus, it's more like she's making fun of people who most likely backstabbed or screwed someone else over to get where they are, and now all the sudden they want to thank Jesus! lol! that's just crazy!!

No I don't agree. I hate Kathy Griffin, but she has a right to say what she wants. The fu***ing church is demanding an apology from the network & Kathy, which is bullcrap. I get really tired of how our country in the last 10 years has become an apologetic, wussed out version of it's former self. It always seems that the smallest group has the loudest voice. & instead of saying "Well that's your opinion. Sorry we're not going to change this country just for you few. You need to learn to adapt" We say "OH GOD!!! We're sorry, Please don't sue us, just because you don't believe in the FREEDOM OF SPEECH!"
It's all crap. & people wonder why we're being targetted by the less powerful countries right now. it doesn't matter if we're the strongest damn country on the planet earth or not. If we sit there & let people in our country bully us & kick us all around we will be a country divided. & that's when we are attacked.

I dont think she's the end-all be-all of comedy, but I thought the Jesus comment was very insightful and comedically poignant. Im so tired of everyone thanking Jesus for everything including Superbowls, basehits, not getting voted out of realty tv competitions etc...
The comment she made was hysterical to me and right on the money. If you are offended by it, then you can bite me. Everyone thanking Jesus for everything offends me. Dont shove your religion down my throat.
and to "Jeancom.." above, I hope you are being sarcastic, because you appear to need psychiatric help.

This week on Ellen she said sometimes she hears herself say things that she is shocked she said. She did not apologize for the slur but I believe she knew better. In my opinion she crossed the line and was no longer funny. The FCC is very particular and I believe it was in the best interest of the production company to remove it from future rebroadcast. Save that stuff for her own show where people know what to expect. Thank you.

Although I was offended by what she said, there is really no point in censoring it. We will all get to hear it anyway, thanks to the all the news networks. If she had said the same thing about Mohammad, there would be death threats against her. I don't think I want a Christian Taliban to decide what I can or can't watch on tv, so I would rather it not be censored. If I don't want to watch it, that is what the remote control is for.

No, I don't. I can understand the censorship of profanity and nudity when there might be small children watching, but other than that, I think she has the right to say what she wants even if I disagree with it. That's been one of the great things about the US for many years, but I fear we won't have freedom of speech forever at the rate things are going.

I think she was right on target . . . Have you seen Big Brother? The contestants all think God has a personal interest in whether they win or not. It's crazy. Millions of children go to bed hungry and God cares about a game show . . . Clearly God has bigger fish to fry.

I'm sure she told the truth that it wasn't Jesus, but Satan that helped her. At least she told the truth, because many in Hollywood are involved in cults of Satan, but to keep their popularity they claim to be Christian or an ungodly religion. They say anything except to say that I worship the devil and follow his way.
Christians need to see the demonic in the world. We still have free speech and she can promote hate speech as she did, but I pity her soul. Rejecting Jesus is the way to hell. I pray that she will repent and surrender her life to Christ. When the Lord returns every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
At least she is not a liar. She serves the devil and she speaks it with her right to free speech which our forefathers bled and died for. The devil has come out of the closet along with many others of his wicked demons and I am not talking about homosexuality even though it is an abomination to God.
Among us today are fallen angels and they are making themselves known through humans. Jesus said in the latter days it would be as it was in the days of Noah and in the days of Noah the fallen angels and demonic influenced and possessed humans.
