It's kind of interesting that this author doesn't call for Sharpton to "pay dearly" as well.

National Lampoon did a nice cut and paste, here:

"People are often most honest when angry."

BS. It's the opposite.

Then every teenager ever hates their parents and I really do want lots of people to literally "go screw themselves", if that's even possible.

Richards, a liberal, is going to get off rather easily. Sharpton, Jackson, the MSM is accepting his apology rather uneventfully. The contreversy died down quickly. The media can keep a minor story alive if they want to. Just reference Natalie Holloway or Abu Grahib.

Being racist and liberal is okay. If a conservative had said half of want Richards did, you'd hear about it over and over and over again.

The comedian comes up with funny clever thoughtful things off the top of his or her head.

Clueless author alert. Comedians, professional ones anyway, have every word, every nuance, tuned and practiced for timing and effect. Nothing is "off the top" of their heads. NOThing. Not that there's anything wrong with that!

Oh, almost forgot to include that yes, Kramer was way off base and was wrong.

I think one of the side-affects of rap is it diminishes taboos; after you've heard a man calling on other men to "bust the vagina walls of some ho'" how much else is there that shouldn't be said...?

At some point, artistic people dredge down into their souls and come up with some ugly stuff.

What shocks me is the shock.

They took DeVito's drunken tirade off of YouTube. If you're a liberal you can do and say anything you want...except insult certain minorities.

I have not seen the entire video, but it is my understanding that the audience turned on him first by yelling cracker at him, which is just as offensive. Ever get around african-americans and hear how often they use the N word? Quite frankly, I did not see his remarks any more offensive than what that black late night show host (I forget his name at the moment) did years ago. Time to lighten up folks.

I'm sick of black people decrying the use of the n-word. STOP USING IT YOURSELVES, then maybe you can start a campaign against it.

It doesn't even carry any derogatory intention when youth use it amongst themselves. It's just the politicians trying get a free ride on a non-issue.

"Richards, a liberal"


I've seen that a few times, do we really know if he is a liberal? Do you have a link to his political views?

Rap Song Parody of the Incident

Did anyone find the above song...

1. More offensive than most rap music
2. More racist than most rap music
3. Less musical than most rap music
4. Less catchy than most rap music

See? Popular culture is so casually obscene these days that material attacking racists is indistinguishable from the material that purports it.
