Perfectly stated WM. I agree.

I found a way to forgive Michael Richards and I'll forgive Morgan too.

1) What TM meant to say was that gay bullying is NOT more harmful than other types of bullying. In making that point, he went too far. I can't disagree with people condemning TM because what he said was really crass and insensitive.

At the same time, though, how can a professional smartass such as WSH--who does an entire series calling babies stupid--NOT defend TM's ability to make insensitive jokes? When did stand up comedians have to abide by the same rules as the rest of society?

2) Comedy should never be taken literally. If anyone is naïve enough to believe that TM tolerates gay bullying, they're taking comedy TOO seriously.

Just like we all know that WSH doesn't really hate babies, hipsters, dogs, tardy food cart operators, or Selena Gomez, we all know that TM does not hate gay people.

3) We all appreciate the efforts of Dan Savage to stop kids from killing themselves due to (gay) bullying, but even he understands that there are no protected classes in comedy.

As "Hello, I Am Fat"gate proved, Savage knows that comedy is not fair nor rational; it's not meant to be. Whether TM's hypothetical gay kid "deserved it" is besides the point. TM is a comedian telling (crude) jokes, not a teacher, a politician, or a preacher; he's a well-paid clown.

4) LCK is the most principled man I've never met. He's a king among whiners.

Oh god, Humphrey cry me a fuckin' river already...

"If they can take a fucking dick up their ass, then they can take a fucking joke."

Tracy Morgan FUCK THE WORLD!

I dont even like TM, but I dont give 1 shit about what he thinks either. He can could should and will swallow every n$$$er joke he has heard and will here....And some of them are FUNNY! Dont have to like it, it just is. Just like gay jokes sex jokes blond jokes and the joke hanging between your legs. Point is everybody is fair game...Except me. Fuck you very much and I hope your hair falls out.

C'mon, people. Why do you continually expect comedians to be human every once in a while? Respect the slippery immunity bubble! Depending on the subject matter, they're either just speaking truth to power/telling it like it is/pushing boundaries/being edgy!

It's not like they're saying this shit from the audience, or to an employer or to gay kids' faces or to their family! It's from the slightly-elevated stage of a crappy club! There isn't a more foreign context to us lay people!

I heard LCK's WTF podcast where he got weepy about his kids. I'm certain he'd be totally fine (and even laughing) with another comedian talking about murdering and raping his kids on account of they'd just be saying crazy stuff, n' stuff.

So if a white comic, with a nationally-aired sitcom, made jokes about how Tracy Morgan and other blacks look like they just dropped out of a banana tree and these jigaboo comedians should stay in their place, Louis CK would really be blaming those who reported these jokes on the internet, and saying "Maybe there were black people there who were laughing. You don't fucking know. Nobody gets to say that they represent anybody and they're offended on behalf of the whole world."??

Comedy is like Ultimate Fighting, it is entertaining. Sometimes children should not watch people may get hurt. It is the most difficult job in the world and while lifting heavy thoughts over head you may drop a few. Stand back and watch the show, I am satisfied the last 2 comments are coming from highly intelligent strong willed and imaginative people...Funny people.

You're a damned fool then!
