If the lesbo’s insulted the comedian and then got insulted back, how is that a hate crime. Sounds like normal drunk people to me.

I think there should be some kind of committee that keeps track of writings – not in order to persecute but in order to raise debate and allow citizens to know where the zeitgeist is. I mean, it is difficult to live in a free speech-culture, and it would be nice to have something that deters escalating, meaning-less crudeness while promoting frictionless claims of feeling insulted or worried about the state of humor or cultural discord.Of course, I hate this outrageous and stupid HRC as much as I hate people like Michael Savage. We need to trust ourselves to marginalize scum (and settle problems between ourselves) and not rely on well-meaning kulturwatchers to harm them legally. Canada needs to prevent the concept of multi-culturalism from being tainted by the perversion that is multi-moralism.
