Hmmm - yes. What happened to free speech when the Jews respond to someone's vile ripping of one's race. How dare the Jews have a right to express their right to free speech when everyone knows that only white Australians can exercise their hatred of Jews - especially if that white Australian is rich and lives in America, named Mel Gibson.
{INSERT SARCASM HERE}
Why do you consider it free speech to espouse hate - but not free speech when people respond to it? If thats not as two faced as it is filled full of gooey irony, I don't know what is.

Jewish people are not the only ones offended by what Mel Gibson said. He should be ashamed of himself, and so should you. Freedom of speech and supporting hatred do not go hand in hand

What no. Don't they teach logic classes any more.
Someone who made stupid comments while drunk and now regrets it but still is being made a laughing stock in the media(which he knows he deserves, and this is coming from a big fan of his). Is not parallel in any way.
The Danish paper knew after the first printing that they were being very rude to some devout people and chose to reprint and distribute it anyway!

It's not the same because no one is threatening Gibson with death. Gibson has the right to say whatever he likes, and I have the right never to watch any of his films again.

Free speech was thrown out the window along time ago.

Jews don't believe in free speech. They have curtailed free speech in Germany and other parts of EU

trashing anyone's culture, religion, or ideas isn't going to get you anywhere in life. i guess you've got some road rage style bravity here beacuse no one will meet you so asking jerky questions is fine. but go ahead, ask questions on the street and see what people do.
if your so proud of your ignorance than why bother talking to 0's and 1's? go talk to real people

These incidents actually endanger free speech.

exactly. that's why jews are blowing up buildings and rioting.
dude - free speach is good when it doesn't promote hatred and violence. unfortunately, antisemitic remarks have a long history of doing both. (its kinda like yelling fire in a crowded theatre.)
