Kathy Griffin, Sarah Silverman, Kyle Kinane, Michelle Wolf … all comediennes who had shows cancelled after right wing protests. 

Great I don’t think they should be canceled either. 
I think Kathy goes beyond the pale when you go from jokes to holding a bloody headless Trump. Wolf was doing it at a political dinner if I’m not mistaken? 
 

Again, I’m not a boycott guy so if there’s something I want, there’s very little that’s going to prevent me from getting it outside of cost, but it’s certainly not going to be because of politics

Same. Just saying, boycotts and protests aren’t just a lefty thing as you claimed. Yeah Griffin’s “joke” was in really bad taste. So was this:

In the clip, which has racked up more than 8.9 million views as of February 3, Bankas said, “Her last name was Good. That’s what I said after they shot her,” and also referred to Good’s wife as a “dog.” He also called Good “r—–ded.”

Shows were scheduled for a week after the second ICE shooting in Minny.

Yeah, that’s pretty poor taste. Not something I would listen to either, but that should’ve probably been the venues call not from public pressure is all I’m saying. 
comedy is tough… but I find Anthony Jeselnik hilarious but he deals a lot in jokes about kids dying/ dark humor. Not everyone likes that.

That's fair but doesn't justify canceling his shows.  I never thought Andrew Dice Clay was funny.  I didn't go see him.  I didn't ask the venues to cancel his shows.

I have not followed this story closely.  Did someone or some group Ask that the shows be cancelled or did they demand that it be so or the palce would get the same treatment hotels housing ICE has gotten?  Or, perhaps, did the venue owner put two and two together all by himself.

Before the election stores in blue cities boarded up their windows. 

[Red White and Blue 135]

“Blue” cities. You can just call them cities.

He said, citing threats, security. I’m guessing it’s probably a small venue and he can’t properly protect people from liberals who would probably go in and ruin it for everybody anyway…

 

Oh, you mean just like conservatives lined up at stores to harass store owners for carrying Bud Light and the people buying it?

Thanks for confirming the comedian wasn’t cancelled for his speech

Jesus we covered this. I had the option of ignoring it and getting beer I wanted.
Canceling a show, you took money from the venue, the comic and everyone who wanted to actually see the show. Big difference.

An interesting take.  Had his jokes been about Garfield or Packer Fans he would be going on.  His bit commenting on Ms. Good lead directly to his cancelling.

Correct.  His speech led to his shows being cancelled, but it wasn’t because of “cancel culture“. @cyclone24 is playing up the wrong angle…he shouldn’t be whining about free speech, he should be whining about violent liberals forcing this decision from the owner

[nobody 3,023]

Wokies got a point here.  Can't cry about Kirk getting shot jokes and then get flummoxed when the other side cries about that wokie chick getting shot.  

Although, at least we can all agree that one was a murder and the other was self-inflicted.  (which is which is up for the reader to decide)

[Red White and Blue 135]

We’re comedians making jokes about Saint Charlie getting shot? I though MAGAs were mad when people pointed out he was actually a diick.

What? I don’t care what jokes you tell. I like dark humor. This didn’t get canceled because the owner felt like it. Liberals pressed him and I’m guessing what was going to happen was they got threatened that if he showed up they were just gonna come in and disrupt it and be a security nightmare as they usually are.

New Coke got cancelled because most people didn’t like it.

Just for a moment, consider the possibility that most people also don’t like a 500-lb man who tells dumb jokes and mocks murder victims.

Gotcha. Thanks for the good faith convo. 

LOL, this guy.  Your narrative is bullcrap, I destroyed it, and now you have no where to go.  Let's walk this through and see who's to blame.

Obama: I'm going to deport illegal criminals
Leftist governments: Ok, what do you want us to do to help?
Obama: I need access to prisons and jails to send ICE agents to pick them up.
Leftist governments: Ok, we'll let you know when to show up.
Obama: Thanks

Trump: I'm going to deport illegal criminals
Leftist governments: F' YOU, you racist!
Trump: I need access to prisons and jails to send ICE agents to pick them up.
Leftist governments: F' YOU, you racist!
Trump: Fine, I'll just have to send my agents into the streets and pick them up.
Leftist governments: F' YOU, you racist!  We're going to encourage our citizens to disrupt your attempts.
Trump: Okay....

 

If you can't see who the real problem is here, then I'm sorry.  I don't know how a "good faith convo" can happen.

I think it's sad that you actually believe this.

Oh well, 70% of people in America have finally activated their brains and can see this for what it is. Maybe you'll join them sometime soon; we can hope.

Blaming the citizens of America for being the problem instead of the untrained masked goons running around playing war in the streets of American cities is pretty f-ing unAmerican.

Imagine that, I'm holding people accountable to their actions!  The nerve!!!

Sure, boss. It went exactly like you said. I concede, you can take your W.

We can be done because you do not understand the differences here and never will because you refuse. It's fine, we don't have to agree. We also don't have to interact since there seems to be nothing to gain from it. I hope for your sake none of this happens in your home town.

He understands it just fine, it's (D)ifferent.

He also probably doesn't live in a sanctuary city. So, his town probably didn't cause the same mess.

Oh, you and him are different, alright. Far different from me. I generally prefer my government not assaulting my neighbors and occupying my state. YMMV

Right back at ya.  I'm ok with it happening in my town, as long as the morons running the show here, don't encourage vigilantism.  Help the feds and get out of the way.  Pretty simple.  No one gets hurt.

Have you not seen any of the thousands of videos depicting what's going on in the streets? If not, then you're going to remain willingly ignorant, like most MAGA.

If you have, then you're just dismissing it, right? All the violence is what? Lefties being hormonal? The feds in every single instance are acting in a perfectly legal manner? No civil rights being trampled, no violations of established law? Nobody getting arrested due solely to the color of their skin?

As your boy Joe B. would say, "C'mon man!"

As Reagan said, there you go again.  No way that guy exceeds 400 pounds.  If I had to guess I'd go 328.

Generally, sure.  Of course there are exceptions to every rule, like the dink down the street who blows his leaves into the street and who walks his dog past my place so it has green grass to shet on and who never picks it up.
