    Default Personal attacks targeting the kids.... here we go again

    Scott Brown slams Griffin’s joke about his daughters:
    Scott Brown slams Griffin’s joke about his daughters - Yahoo! News

    The segment, which aired Tuesday, featured CNN’s Dana Bash and John King quizzing Griffin on her political knowledge during a recent visit to Washington. When King held up a photo of Brown, Griffin identified him as “Scott Brown, who is a senator from Massachusetts and has two daughters that are prostitutes.”

    I realize that this woman is a comedian... but even then, I am 100% againt politicking against the kids. I hope Griffin gets her clock cleaned for this.

    How old are the kids?

    I can't say I care. Either they are too young to even know what she said, where their peers are too young to listen to Griffin and/or know what Griffin said and/or even know they're the children of Brown, or they're old enough to handle the comments.

    Why would you believe that? What does age have to do with the ability to 'handle' comments of that kind? It was crass and classless, and no 22 year-old should be accused of prostitution, even in jest, and on national television. Hell, if you said something like that about my daughters in a crowded room., I'd feel obliged to commit an assault upon your person. So would every father I know.

    I would have to agree. An ass whipping would be in order.
    Right now I'm having amnesia and deja-vu at the same time.
    I think I've forgotten this before.

    You are correct even if they were too young to understand that does not justify it.

    Griffin is low rent. Attacking a candidate or politician's child is out of line.

    Kids, parents or anyone other than the politician themselves should be off limits unless they inject themselves into politics or the news. Age has nothing to do with it. It's all about a person's right to privacy. Chelsea Clinton would be off limits until she started campaigning with her mother, then she became public figure. Same for Meghan McCain.
