Comic faces human rights hearing in B.C. after lesbian jokes

Thoughts?

That's messed up but I didn't hear the joke so it's hard to say much

Some people have no sense of humor. My suggestion is that these people should have just left. You can always get up and walk away.

The way its worded sounds like something the UN would discuss.

"The Human Rights Situation in Canada."

it doesn't take much to get a human rights hearing in Canada... Apparently we are a sensitive

I doubt we will hear anything of it again.

Regardless, this is crazy. You can't blame a comedian for something some other idiots did.

Okay...what did he say?

The Canadians have similar freedom of speech rights as the U.S. cits....so where's the problem?

Silly. There should not be laws protecting people getting offended, it's ridiculous.

"You just change one little verb and you take it out of context and all of a sudden it's time for me to drink a glass of hemlock," he said. "They were drunk, they were being jerks and I was very rude and visceral to them because, like I said, if you have a heckler, what you want to do is put them in their place by offending them, so I tried to hit them where it hurts and the only thing I had to key on was the fact that they were lesbians."

Hopefully Canada will tell them to shut the **** up and grow a pair.

That's more info that I had before. I wonder what the dialogue actually was??? Eve a paraphrase would be nice. 🙁

I think the offended woman should shut up, stop going to comedy shows where the comedian is known to do such comedy, stop heckling said comedians if she does choose to go to their shows, get a sense of humour, and pay for all the court costs that this stupidity is racking up and the tax payers have to foot.

dude the gay rights movement need to quit the whole sharade about discrimination. there so freely about there sexual prefrence so of course comics are gona joke about it. look at lisa lamponelie shes a funny ass comedian that stated the crowd that shows up to her performances KNOWS it's in fun and NOT prejiduce. michael richards on the other hand is a disgrace to the white race for is improv coments about blacks. that man is lucky he walked out with no injury.
