Regarding Kathy Griffin

I am asking everyone of you too send this one on asking people not to attend any movies that this person is in and to let the operators of the movie house know the reason you are not attending the movies she is in..... THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

If this makes you as angry as I, you will surely pass it along.

In God We Trust

I looked this up on truth or fiction and it is the TRUTH! Comedian Kathy Griffin's "Suck it Jesus" Comment-Truth!

Summary of the eRumor:

A forwarded email complains about an appearance by comedian Kathy Griffin on the Emmy Awards show. In accepting an award she allegedly said that no one had less to do with her award than Jesus then said "Suck it Jesus. This is my God now."

The Truth:

Kathy Griffen was presented with an Emmy at the 2007 awards in the category of "Outstanding Reality Program" for her show "My Life on the D-List."

In her acceptance speed she said, "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award. I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus. Suck it, Jesus. This award is my god now."

Her comments not only drew criticism but also attention when the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences chose to edit out her remarks from a pre-taped telecast of the show.

A real example of the eRumor as it has appeared on the Internet:

At the September 2007 Emmy awards, comedian Kathy Griffin's acceptance speech said, "A lot of people come up here and thank Jesus for this award I want you to know that no one had less to do with this award than Jesus." She went on to say,"Suck it, Jesus. This is my God now!" referring to the Emmy. As a Christian, I am offended by her hate speech. What do you think might have happened if she had made the hate speech against Muhammad???? Kathy Griffin has the right as an American to say what she thinks. As a Christian-American, so do I. Today I will refuse to

watch any show that she may be on or purchase tickets to any event at which she would perform. What will you do? If you delete this, nothing bad will happen to you, but if you pass this on, you will truly have stood up for Jesus Christ. Let's see what the 80% of Christian-Americans can do.

Never liked this female...

I remember when this happened. I was so upset that anyone would stand up there and do that. I have refused to watch anything that has her in it. If it be a movie, tv appearance, comedy show, etc. If we all would stand up for what we believe in..maybe things wouldn't be the way they are. Thanks for posting this.

All you can do is pray for her. Let God deal with her.

That kind of statement just tells me how miserable this persons life must really be and I hope she has the sense to Ask Him for forgiveness. I know how badly God must feel for one of his children.

easiest way to show her our disaproval of her attitude and beliefs is to boycott anything that she has to do with!!

I also avoid Mel Gibson movies since he announced to the world that all non Catholics were going to hel*. Yes he was sober.
