He has a right to his thoughts but, freedom of speech only goes so far. Even Menachem Begin said publicly that the Palestinians where not human and had no right to live. A person in any position of importance or notoriety, has a innate obligation to project a higher level of respect for others. That does not preclude them from having their own personal prejudices. Regarding Hitler....The history books are wrong about what happened there, as well as with Lincoln ...etc...etc... You have to take it all with a grain of salt.

You have a point in what you say and there is no defending his attidude. But why say "his career is over in Hollywood"? This incident happened in PARIS and involves a designer that happens to work for a major French fashion. This is not a Hollywood career, this is a fashion career and European. A lot of Hollywood celebrities and stylists buy clothes from major European designers but that doesn't mean they have Hollywood careers. The whole world doesn't Hollywood. His career is ruined period, not just in Hollywood.

@ Bobby BG & Dave: I believe you should be able to say whatever you want to as long you can handle the consequences. Go ahead and let the hate that you feel out...but if your bad enough to say it dont call the police begging for help when somebody gets in ur a__.

this 'guy' has no room to be cracking on ANYONE! he looks like a gay zorro!

You are absolutely right on almost everything; Except for one, and that is that their are 26 major designers and 28 other designers already courting and begging him to join their company. He is one of the very most elite designers in Europe. So, this will have absolutely no effect on his career. What he did and said was very bad; But in this industry it will barely be of any concern.

We still have freedom of speech and we still have the ability to decide who will represent our public image. If it had been pro-terrorist remarks backing the 9/11 bombers there would be outrage as well, it was just a hateful thing to say!

His particular comments referring to the holocaust are extremely insensitive and illegal in France. He was arrested and could do six months in jail.

Did you say "get me out of here". OK, planes leave every hour, get a one way ticket to the middle east and express your views.

Bobbie?
Didn't Granma teach you "if you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all"?

So leave; who's stopping you?

I guess no one ever ranted and said stupid things when they were drunk. Good gosh. Who the h ell ever heard of this guy anyways. Oh those words hurt my feelings, can't us the B word can't use the N word Can't use the A word, give me a fricking break.

Of course you can make any remark you want. Nobody said you couldn't. It's just that you have to live with the consequences--good or bad--that come with it. Of course, no one expects someone of your ilk to get this. I hope you, Mel Gibson, and this ass-hat will eventually figure this out, though you'd have to eat a whale in order to get enough Omega-3 to get your brain to operate correctly. Good luck with that. (A drum of tartar sauce is on its way to your house.) I will give you credit for not yammering on about the first amendment like so many idiots do--not only because this was outside the United States, but because the amendment talks about THE GOVERNMENT not making a law banning free speech. Your boss--that's another story. He/she can fire you for being a loud-mouth jackass. Try it, and get back to us, letting us know how it went.

Bobbie BG.... You must've inherited your grandma's brains. I would say words caused the deaths of six million, Jews, 20 million non-Jews, and millions of invisible others just 65 years ago. Words lead to attitudes, attitudes lead to actions, actions lead to abuses and death....

I am so with you on this. I spent 4 yrs in the USMC and as all the fine soldiers are doing, to an extent fought for the freedom of ALL those in this country including dingbats that might say something mean.

What has this country become when we let name calling hurt us more than "sticks and stones"?

We are such a bunch of woosies in this country now. I have been to Israel and I can guarantee they wouldnt be having a cow over this like some here are. Yeah, it may have not been so nice but gimmy a break! Whats next, no talking to strangers or you might be arrested for assaulting them with words? No looking at anyone cause they might feel threatened and think you are getting ready to mug them?

Its ok to desecrate the American flag but we arent aloud to speak our minds? Whether we spew trash from it or nice things, who cares, no one said you have to listen and certainly you dont have to give someone power by showing how much you dislike what they said. JUST F**KING IGNORE THEM!!!! Oh crap, here comes the cussing police, Im outta here!

It's real easy for us to get you out of here Bobbie, Just stay the hell away from these type of places.. By the way take your friend Dave with you,He doesn't get it either.Your both Idiots.. How does that feel????

Well perhaps it's not so nice to make hateful comments and think that it's ok!! Easy not to be offended when your not the target. Yeah get out of here, your kind is not needed

What kind,The one who has an opinion? Not all of them are going to be to your liking ,tough shlt.

HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY EQUATE A CHILDHOOD RHYME WITH HITLER? YOU AND GRANNY NEED A HISTORY LESSON! FOR DECADES PEOPLE(?) HAVE DENIED THE HOLACAUST. ASK A JEW, A CATHOLIC, ETC. READ "THE YELLOW STAR". GET A CLUE BEFORE YOU QUOTE "STICKS AND STONES"! I AM A GENTILE, BUT I FEEL FOR THOSE AT THE HANDS OF A MONSTER.......ADOLF HITLER.
