I have a real problem with punishing him for his anti-Semitic remarks no matter how deplorable those remarks are. He has freedom of speech and that includes the right to say foolish and hurtful things. In my mind if people want to punish him for what he said don't buy his movies. That would hit him where it hurts, but the government should not punish him. And in many ways, the damage he's done to his reputation is going to assure a punishment that will last beyond his life. The things he said were crazy, illogical, and evil, but the state has no business meting out punishment for foolish statements.

He was driving drunk, remember? He'll get some kind of punishment.
