I can't believe you are defending someone who beheaded a fake head of the president, grabbed him by the hair, like a terror beheading video. In a time when the threat of terror is higher than ever and all we hear about is terror attacks around the world and violence, it is not appropriate, healthy, or funny. I have no words, it should be common sense not to promote violence against people, especially the president. 

I never once said I supported her. I asked you a question, which you avoided and a statement that terrorism is not "at its highest" -- the media has put that fear within you that terrorism is at its peak but learn history and know that we are not living in the worst of times. It's sad, yes, but saying that it's at its highest is simply false.

But please put words in my mouth, thank you.

People really need to stop wringing their hands over Kathy Griffin. She apologized. She agreed it was inappropriate. Focusing on all this is merely a distraction from genuine problems. People need to move on.

People take everything too seriously. It was a bad joke. Now go stream the cure.

I don't really care what she says the artwork means. When everyone looks at it, it looks just like the terror beheading videos especially the way she grabs the bloody beheaded head by the hair. He is the president of the USA and you do not support or invoke violence towards anyone. Kathy went way too far and I am glad her career is over. 

I was extremely against the Obama fake hangings as well. I remember them being covered in the news media.

I don't think it needs to be defended

It was meant to be shocking. It accomplished its goal. Let's leave it at that

Also, I can't take Jim Carry's anti-vaxxer self seriously

I don't believe it tbh

If he supports vaccination, he has a funny way of showing it

In the same way you can support vaccines while criticizing the chemicals in vaccines, you can support a child getting an education while criticizing the educational system.

Not every idea can be reduced to a good vs. bad, anti-vax vs. pro-vax level.

Comedians are encouraged to cross the line, but what she did was neither funny nor artistic, just cruel and tasteless.

Comedians crossing the line = cruel and tasteless though
