David Axelrod, one of Barack Obama’s political gurus, poses an interesting thought on social media.<\/p>\n

It concerns “comedian” Kathy Griffin’s disgraceful video showing her holding a “decapitated head” purporting to be that of Donald J. Trump.<\/p>\n

CNN fired Griffin for her utterly crass stunt, which she initially thought of as an “artsy fartsy statement.” So long, kid. Don’t let the door hit in your backside.<\/p>\n

But then, Axelrod wonders, how does Ted “Motor City Madman” Nugent get a pass for the endless string of grotesque statements he has made about, oh, Barack H. Obama. You know, things like calling him a “subhuman mongrel” and a litany of other vile epithets.<\/p>\n

\nI’ll weigh in. I believe there is.<\/p>\n\n
