I'm free to walk down the street and call obese people fat or whatever I want - probably not a good idea though if I have any respect for them.

I see your point and as I said before, the remark was not exactly politically correct but your analogy is misguided. Noone will disagree that unwarranted disrespectful remarks about a person are unfair, but expressing your feelings about a person due to their actions or concequences from their influence, are for the better part, fair game. If you disagree with someone's point of view thats fine but I'd suggest taking it with a grain of salt. Kind of like a tequila shot... Unless your not 21 yet, as I'm not advocating drinking for minors
