It doesn't mean the two comedians need to be circled by the lynch mob.
Don't you see anything not right with calling for censorship on things you (general you) didn't actually see or hear yourself?

he's 78 which is nearer 80 than 75. and yes someone that age is running for president in the US, but then they voted for idiots like bush and reagan, so they'll obviouslly vote for anyone.
i doubt many spanish were offended by manuel, he wasn't making fun of the spanish, he just happened to be a thick spaniard who struggled with english.
the fact as to whether people heard what was said when it was originally broadcast is irrelevant, once they found out what was said they're entitled to an opinion. it's hardly censorship, as what has been said has been broadcast.
i agree the reaction is ridicuosly over the top though.
