Big deal, happens every day.

Oh but he is famous so it matters!
When I fail at something and someone points this out to me, I do not scream racial slurs at them.

It does happen everyday, and it is just as wrong. If I see it happening, I raise my voice against it. The only reason this seems to matter more is, indeed, because he is famous.

Famous or not, it's wrong.
As far as I know, he had no stand-up experience and this was one of his first attempts at it. He is a comedic actor, not a stand-up comic. He failed at his attempt and was frustrated, people were making fun of him and it frustrated him more. Usually this effects a person to the point where they say things they normally would not say under normal circumstances.

So he said terrible things to someone. Who cares? This "bad" word is nothing more than an ignorant term of endearment that has far more effectiveness than it should. Not to mention the complete double standard that surrounds the entire thing.

Also, I should point out that nobody seems to be discussing that he was called a "cracker-ass". Which is a term of endearment equal to the word Michael Richards used. Why isn't anyone making a big deal about that?

Oh. Right. Because Michael Richards is a face, not just a voice. People know who he is because of Seinfeld.

The only reason this and every other discussion about this is going on is because he has money and people know who he is. If this kind of crap actually disappoints you or enrages you, well.. let's not go into that because it might be taken as a flame.

P.S. It was not a tirade. It was a verbal argument between Michael Richards and a few members of the audience at the Laugh Factory. A tirade is when one person is talking about a specific subject. Not multiple people fighting over something.
