Its a good thing that it is at least debated, and we are not just spoon fed facts. If there is a backlash then great, it brings it to the attention of more people.
It may not be a popular view, it may not be the majority view, but no one can deny him his right to say how he feels...The media reacting with personal insults is wrong imo.
