Talk about hateful! I can't believe the Greek government even said they still "hold him in high regard".

They said they didn't agree with his statements. A difference of opinion doesn't negate his musical contributions and talent. Sorry, try again.

It makes him a disgrace to humanity. His racist comments negate his talent, just like Madonna's hipocracy negates her talent. His philosophy has paints his true picture. Hes despicable and doesn't deserve anymore attention.

No, I'm sorry, but opinions and abilities are two separate things. I'm sure there are many people out there who think your opinions are despicable, but you have just as much right to have your achievements acknowledged as anyone else.

So if a member of the KKK has great musical talents we should praise him for his music even though he is a racist piece of trash? Sorry I don't see why someone like that should be recognized. I don't care who they are!

actually i was referring to how our society holds musicans in a higher regard then normal people, i'm pointing out thatthere is evil, corruption, and hatred in all parts of our society. And the leftist comment was refferingto that there is dispicable people people in all of the political spectrum
frankly i would have considered that sentence to be quite the compromise and peace offering with you. But i guess even when compromising and meeting you in the middle i'm wrong

Well if thats what you meant I'm sorry. I took the tone to be condesending. Racism is everywhere, to me you made it sound like musicians and leftists were rarely guilty of wrong doing.

his comment was "Today, we can say that these little people are the root of evil,"
which is no more racist then Rush Limbaugh's remarks about McNabb.
In fact, depending on your political viewpoint, you might even be inclined to agree with the man. Ask a palestinian whose home was run over by an israeli bulldozer how he feels about the jews.

i must admit the jews have become rather hypocritcial but that's beside the point, racism and hate are against my morals no matter who's the person involved

my point is that i don't think the comment was racist.
if he had said it in reference to the americans, for instance, would you consider it racist?
it was inappropriate, sure, but not racist.
