Look, I don't want to get into a huge debate about my example - it was just to point out that yes, we're "free" to say whatever we want but that doesn't mean we should. That's all.
Bottom line is that the comment was similar to an inflamatory personal attack. I mean, give me a break, what's more sensitive than insulting someone's religion?
But if you want to stick to the "actions or consequences from a person's influence", then I would really like to know what the Pope has done in the 21st century that would allow an intelligent person to compare him to Hitler.
