Kramer on the old Seinfeld tv show had it right when he confronted this woman on the street in one episode and told her to 'Give it up. You're not funny.' She wasn't then, still isn't.

It's a good thing for her she didn't say 'suck it, Allah' or she'd be watching her back for the rest of her short life.

Who is Kathy Griffin? I've never heard of her. Jesus? I've heard a lot of good things about Him. Guess which person I would rather get to know?

We Christians out there think she is a joke anyway... her comment about Jesus just solidified our opinion. I can't even be upset because this is what we have always been up against! What good practice, huh?! I do agree with the comment about her saying 'Allah' instead of 'Jesus'. So on target...

I would rather she be honest than get up there and try to claim Jesus just as many rappers do when they win awards for their filthy music. She did go to far with the insult but at least she doesn't include Jesus as being a part of her reason for winning that award. Maybe they just felt bad for her...

She's not funny. That's why she's on the 'D' for Dick list. After her comments, she's on the 'C' list. Lick that, Kathy.

Who says the left doesn't love Christianity also?

Glad she put me in my place. I needed to learn some humility. -Jesus

One more Hollywood flake who wouldn't dare make fun of the religion which would answer such an insult with a death warrent against her.

So eay to kick 'Jesus', who she knows will only turn the other cheek, and meanwhile never mention the cult leader -who took a 9 year old girl to bed, -who approved of assassinating women poets that made fun of him, and whose 'faith' says to throw homosexuals off buildings to their death, and then turn the world into a global theocratic gulag.

Theo Van Gogh would laugh at Kathy Griffin's cowardice.

Except he has been permanently silenced, -murdered on the streets of his hometown, Amsterdam, for mocking that 'prophet' whom she cowers from even mentioning.

Spit on Jesus but hide from the 7th century warlord.

Typical Hollowood 'courage'

I love Kathy Griffin and her comedy, however, I am not happy about her comment on what Jesus can do. In one sentence, she offended millions of Christians. I know she ad-libs a lot, and I will continue to support her as long as this kind of thing doesn't happen again. If it does, I will have to rethink attending her future concerts. I'm not a prude. Offending Oprah is one thing, the Lord is another!

Jeez, Louise, folks. Have we completely lost our sense of humor? What part of 'it's a joke' do you not understand? Lighten up and, if you want to pray, get on your knees and thank your Lord that we still have a country you can tell a joke like this in. Do you really want us to live in fear like some extremists would have us do?

Honestly, why WOULD she say something about Allah? She isn't Muslim! That's hardly cowardly. Christian comedians make jokes about Christianity, Catholic comedians make jokes about growing up Catholic, and Jewish comedians make jokes about being Jewish. I think if the joke had been about Judaism, most of the people who were offended would have not problem with it.

Personally I don't find her the least bit funny either no matter what she says, which is usually sticking her foot in her mouth and doesn't know when to take it out. She looked better too before she had the plastic surgery and straightened her hair to look like a hag!

If she didnt invoke Jesus, no one would have been the wiser that she actually won anything. So who gets the the credit Her or Jesus?

Losers, get a life! How did she go too far!? Are you Jesus freaks completely insane?! Who made you moral critics? Who made you Judge and Jury? Look at your damn self first! You are all going to hell anyway for believing in a false profit, so lighten up! she was joking! Dont forget, no matter what you think, Jesus is dead. He cant get offended, but if he was, he will take care of it himself. Plus with this kinda reaction you deserve to be laughed at, the great Jesus defenders, the great Templars! Thank Moses, Allah and Jesus for people like her. I will pray that your kids grow up to be comedians, and homosexuals, so that your hate for them could really bring you closer to Jesus.

Another low-class rant who can't accept another person's opinion when it differs from his - your way or the highway mentality!
