Kathy Griffin Has It Wrong: Jesus Has Everything to Do With Her Award
Respected columnist and journalist Lauren Green has something to say about Kathy Griffin's remarks. It's worth reading.Comedienne Kathy Griffin took it upon herself to insult the bulk of Christians in America, even the non-practicing ones. You can read an excellent rebuttal to her comments after she won an award telling Jesus to "Suck it." I'm only repeating what she had to say to show just how offensive her remarks were.
You can be sure if these word were used about Buddha, Mohammed or any other religious figure, they would evoke an immediate and maybe violent reaction. Jesus is fair game, but don't touch the others.
The good news is that reaction from Christians is on par with the teachings of Jesus. For the most part we are turning the other cheek. We are stating our case without blood in the streets. It's what Jesus would want.

I kinda felt like her comments on the persecution scale rated somewhere down there with someone saying "Happy Holidays" instead of "Merry Christmas" to me and being told "Gesundheit" instead of "God bless you" when I sneeze.
Maybe Kathy's motives weren't so single minded anyway. As they say...there is no such thing as bad publicity.
