I've been gone a few days swamped at work and this is what I come back to?

44. Not boycotting someone is NOT giving him a pass. There IS something inbetween.

That's the problem with the country right now. Extremes.

Not boycotting a comedian because he said something vile is not the same as being okay with what he said. But he didn't hit someone, like Mel Gibson, or go on a tirade with vile language against a child, like Alec Baldwin.

He's a comedian, a political humorist. He crossed a line & was vile. I hate it. Disagree with it. But he's a comedian and not the leader of a political party, or a political talk show host.

Comedians often cross the line. I choose to move on past that and appreciate the clever humor that he possesses. It's not the same as the Rush language, since he's a leader of the GOP and is a king maker and many take their marching orders from him. No one takes marching orders from Maher.

I haven't boycotted Alec Baldwin, either. I HAVE, OTOH, boycotted Mel Gibson. Anti-semitism and domestic violence warrant that...he truly is at his core a vile, bigoted, hateful person. It overshadows his talent, IMO. And given the history of the Jews, I will not stand for anti-semitism in any form.
