  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Time for Kimmel to go.
Agreed. He's reading a script someone wrote for him to parrot their personal thoughts.
So,I think he and everyone responsible for that should be fired.

It isn't an offense that can be excused or pardoned as free speech.

I can't imagine,thank you Father, what late night hosts would have said,or for how many nights, had this man succeeded in his quest.

Comedian Kathy Griffith didn't get away with her wicked skit aimed at President Trump in his first term.
Mr.Kimmel should be no exception when attacking the FLOTUS.

That's not how any comedy show works. The host of such shows (those guys with their names in the titles of the shows) certainly have control of the script. Kimmel is not a parrot or robot reading on the demand of the head writer or producer.
So,I think he and everyone responsible for that should be fired.
Sigh, of course you do. It was a joke. It has nothing to do with what happened 48+ hours after it was spoken and it isn't anything anyone who watches the "First Lady" interact with her husband hasn't thought for 12 years.
It isn't an offense that can be excused or pardoned as free speech.
Its not a crime, no matter how much you or melania are offended.

What?

Ms. Griffith's problem was not from a skit, but from a photo shoot where the photographer handed her what looked like a bloody replica of Trump's unattached head.
Mr.Kimmel should be no exception when attacking the FLOTUS.
:rolleyes:

Perhaps anyone who doesn't want their rulers to be badly spoken about or lampooned should head to a country where it is forbidden, like kazachstan or north korea.

Incorrect.
Every late-night show has a staff of writers. This has long been known. Kimmel may contribute however, his dhow enlists those who write the monologue, and or any comedy skits.
Sigh, of course you do. It was a joke.
A sick joke. No one with a moral foundation implies , by any wording, a woman would be happier as a widow.

It has nothing to do with what happened 48+ hours after it was spoken and it isn't anything anyone who watches the "First Lady" interact with her husband hasn't thought for 12 years.
Anyone of a fallen mind would qualify.
Its not a crime, no matter how much you or melania are offended.
It's disgusting. And obscene to imply assassination would make Melania a happy woman.

Who defends transgression and sin?
My words were quite clear.

Which was .....a skit.

I never implied that there weren't writers. What you were claiming is that the host of those types of shows do not have final say on a joke.

She never looks happy as a wife.

And how did he do that? He looks like he's half-dead already. Nature will eventually take its course.

Sin?

They made no sense to me.

A photoshoot is not a "skit" anymore than your latest family portrait session at Sears.

No,I did not.
She never looks happy as a wife.
So, it's funny to say she'd look happier as a widow?
My words were quite clear and understandable.

May God give you mercy.
Sin?

They made no sense to me.
Yes,I realize that now.
A photoshoot is not a "skit" anymore than your latest family portrait session at Sears.
You've not seen her skit. Please stop. You've no idea what you're talking about.
Whereas I and others know, because we saw it, what Ms.Griffith did was not a photoshoot.
