Yes, that's the original video.......what's your comment? -
origonally it was asked if there should be limits on speech and there already are, they are built into the framework. other then that I just think that situation is messed up and he was out of line on stage... but thats me...

So you think they should get paid? You still haven't made your stance on the issue clear to me. -
i think those guys need to have there asses kicked for whining bout that shit...everyone is a racist... and there momma's should have taught them bout having balls when they get made fun of when they were prolly making fun of him

i love how the interview shows the video like richards is going on this huge racist rant, but then u see the original un cut video u can kind of understand whats going on a little more,
todays comedians use the shock factor to make u laugh and i believe thats whats he's going forit basicaly a group of rude people that disrupted his performance and he got upset, when u go to a movie do u show up late with a huge group of laud people and not expect somebody to say something about it?

has a white person ever tried to sue a black comedian for what he says?
im tired of hearing about all this racist bullshit! its goes both ways but u only hear one side bitching about it -
no i don't think they should get paid, i do however think the comedian should make an apology.

BUT, I don't think that money is needed in this issue. Maybe a better apology....I thought his apology was kind of shitty...

That Chris Rock link was great. The dipshit Gloria Alred (the attorney) is a prime example of what is screwed up in the country right now, typical far left screwball. The boys got their feelings hurt and whoever hurt their feelings should pay them money. She even friggin used a horrible example of breaking a window and having to pay... well no shit sherlock, if you break something physically you should pay for it. But because you hurt someone's feelings doesn't mean you have to pay them money. Hell, we'd all be paying someone else money all the damn time (I'd probably be paying someone for what I just wrote).

RANDOM FACT: there really is no such thing as "freedom of speech." theres nothing in the constitution that says "people can say whatever they want." all it says is that congress cant pass anything that limits what people can and cant say. i bet most people dont know that.
random fact aside, thats just stupid. the guys called him more different racial names than he did them. people will whine and bitch about anything to get free money. its sad.

First amendment:
<u>Congress shall make no law</u> respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or <u>abridging the freedom of speech</u>, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Like Ami and Tjamz already pointed out, only Congress can't limit speech. State governments that don't have some freedom of speech clause in their state constitutions/bill of rights can pass any restriction on speech they please, as well as private institutions and such. Freedom of speech doesn't exist the way people make it out to exist.

That would be like saying that states can say they won't let women vote, or that their citizens cannot own guns, or that there can only be state run newspapers. Or even that ND could say, ok, from this point forward the only recognized religion is Hindu, anyone found to be following a different faith shall be tried on treason charges.
Sorry StangerBanger, you are wrong on your assumption above.
