Yes, I've heard worse. I went to comedy clubs in the KC area in the 80's (Stanfords - both locations and more) and heard more offensive language and "humor" than when Richards clearly lost it.
I'm not condoning his actions. It's obvious he was on edge and should have just walked away but instead, took the low road.

See above. He's not Mel Gibson. He hasn't had multiple instances of public or overt racism. He had a bad day and made a bad choice.
Again, not condoning, just recognizing the facts.

I don't think that's "okay" on CP. As a matter of fact, I think it's a bannable offense, as it should be.
