“I call this Free Speech.”

I agree. I’m glad that we still live in a country where Mr. Chappelle can voice unpopular opinions. If his so-called fans disagree with him, that’s between him and them.

On the other hand, I disagree with him on the issue of law firms and investment banks rescinding job offers to pro-Palestinian students at Harvard etc. If I’m running a law firm or an investment bank, and I don’t like your politics, I shouldn’t have to hire you.

Isn’t there something in the US constitution about freedom of association?

I very much appreciate his willingness to not parrot the popular perspective.

Likewise, Bill Burr may have lost many when he made a foul comment about Jesus Christ.

“I call this Free Speech”

Yes it is, however there are consequences.

“Or,more likely,started a riot with moslems and Jews slitting each other’s throats.”

There is absolutely no moral equivalence here.

“Dave Chappelle is a liberal Democrat”

He is much more than that and that insults genuine American loving Democrats.

What difference, at this point, does it make?

I want someone to rescue the US taxpayers.

“I admire him for speaking his mind forthrightly.”

There is no better example of speaking their mind forthrightly than Adolph Hitler.It is what they say that is crucial.

Does any intelligent person believe that 4,300 innocent Palestinians have died since Oct 7?

“Isn’t there something in the US constitution about freedom of association?”

Indeed, but it cuts both aways. The Harvard students are free to associate with whatever political activists and causes they want. At the same time, Goldman Sachs, as a private company, is also free to associate or not associate with those Harvard students.

I usually find Chapelle pretty funny

He’s usually a bit more metered - even on his trans-rants, Trump-rants, etc.

I’m surprised a performer (dancing bear, frankly), had this public take on murdering over 1,000 Israelis (Jews!).

his worldview as a recent Muslim convert.

When did that happen? If so, I’m done watching his shows.
