Just saw this on Fox.

I have the vid link if I won't get expelled for posting it.

"The question is you have an actor who is trying to be a comedian who doesn't know what to do when an audience is disruptive," Lopez said.

"He's an actor whose show has been off the air, he shouldn't ever be on a stand-up gig."

Well sure, that explains it all.

What does freedom of speech have to do with this?

[unkus]

Damn, Krame went crazy. Libs aren't supposed to say those things. They are supposed to keep such things to themselves when in public.

I love how the Austrailians change the quote to 'arse'

"Freedom of speech has its limitations and I think Michael Richards found those limitations."

Spoken like a true Liberal.

Of course, people can say politically incorrect and racial eptihets like this if they want, but they probably will lose face and damage their reputation. Not to mention, risk getting their butt kicked by somebody, or losing their fans.

"Paging Natalie Maines, please pickup the white courtesy phone..."

Just another reason that I never watched a show that was 'something about nothing'.......

[Perdogg]

View at your own risk, blatant racism and profanity. By clicking on the the link, I take full responsibility

[My2Cents]

Bush's fault.

I'm not going to get all over Michael Richards. He got knocked off his act and panicked. He then tried to form some sort of Lenny Bruce raison d'être that DOA'd. But I leave my house and hear the word dozens of time out on the street. What do you make of that?

[taxesareforever]

As far as I am concerned if one goes into a comedy club one should expect any language to be acceptable. All one needs to do is listen to Chris Rock and know this to be a fact. Is Richards a racist? Who cares? Just because we are told not to be racist does not make people non-racist. If a person has virgin ears than they should not be going into comedy clubs.

Comedian George Lopez told Los Angeles television station KTLA that he thought Richards' lack of stand-up experience may have been a factor.

No kidding. Anyone who wants to do stand-up better learn to deal with hecklers in a way that doesn't involve shouting racial epithets. So Michael Richards is spending his 57th year of life doing stand-up at the Laugh Factory. Funny that the only Seinfeld co-star who's found even moderate success after Seinfeld (Julia-Louise Dreyfus) is the one who doesn't need it - her father is the Dreyfus of Dreyfus Funds.

Wonder when the demands will come to take "Seinfeld" off of syndication?

[samm1148]

What I've said for years: Leftists are the biggest racists there are. This guy just blew up and let fly with his true feelings.

[KoRn]

I expect he will go on some kind of apology tour with Al Sharpton or some other race warlord and contribute to the NAALCP. All will be forgotten.

Some interesting facts I dug up about Michael Richards --

... over 20 years experience in stand-up comedy

... discovered by Billy Crystal who featured him on one of his comedy specials

... drafted in army during Vietnam, served for 2 years, was stationed in Germany

... won 3 emmy awards for his "Kramer" role

... 33rd degree Scottish Rite Mason

... numerous film, TV, stage credits at IMDB

Not gone wild, gone insane!

[GreenHornet]

Richards was doing standup for a number of years before landing his role on Seinfeld. If you're going to do standup comedy, you're going to encounter hecklers from time to time. Richards is not a newcomer to the business. I don't care what these guys were saying to him - he should have been able to handle this situation without resorting to this kind of garbage. If worse came to worse, he could have had the bouncers remove these guys. There is no defense for his behavior.

It will be interesting to see if this incident gets the same amount of media exposure that Mel Gibson's tirade received.

Slow news day.

Let us all be thankful that nothing of consequence happened today.
