6 million Jews were murdered because of that little depraved Nazi.. 6 million! |
well he hasn't given his full detailed opinion about Hitler so lets not pretend we know it all based on a drunken rant clip. I doubt he really thinks Hitler is a great guy for ordering mass murders. When drunk you express things in a clumsy often incoherent manner. He basically needs to explain is views in full. And sober.
the point I made was that he said it in a private conversation. Not broadcast to the masses. You think we should all be prosecuted for shocking views we express in private? Or maybe only if we get secretly filmed and its then broadcast on youtube? Or maybe only if we are famous? See, this is where free speech comes into it.
his views belong to him and he's entitled to them. Yes, he now looks an ass(thanks to video). But let the punishment fit the crime and don't sacrifice a great talent.
