"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..."

Any time I hear something like this (for instance the Mel Gibson thing) I think of Baldwin saying that Henry Hyde and his family should be stoned to death, right there on network TV (it was either the Jay Leno show or maybe David Letterman, I forget which). It didn't sound like a joke at all. But I don't recall anyone expressing outrage except for conservatives. So....while I think what Richards said is pretty stupid, I find it hypocritical for the usual suspects to say much about it.
