KO thinks orlando Jones is going to cause sarah palin's death?
Pretty much everyone (i guess) has said worse things about sarah palin than Orlando Jones has.

Where does KO come from? What planet?

Did you hear KO say that Orlando Jones was going to cause Sarah Palin's death--I didn't.

He said that it is unacceptable to joke about killing a public figure.

"And, no you're not responsible if you do provoke it, but you should be responsible enough never to run the chance of provoking it"

In all fairness, I think it is fine to call out Orlando. After all Sarah Palin called for "crosshairs" on Gifford and got tons of flack for it and this was much more pointed than that.

Personally, I think calling for someone to be arrested, charged with a crime, etc. is more appropriate when they are a lying douchebag. Calling for death just shows a level of hyperbole which is uncomfortably NRAish. It's like that guy, forgetting his name now, but he's a "journalist" who basically said that the US should go into a civil war because the conservatives have all the guns... it is basically saying that having the ability to cause violence makes you right. Scary stuff, joking or not.

Politically correct speech is notorious for presenting a facade of morality in front of nothing.

KO has said sarah palin is a threat, he calls people out as the worst person in the world, but he's the responsible person here?

The journalist douchebag you're talking about is Andrew Breitbart.

"My job as an artist is to hold up a mirror to society"? Who does he think he is, Lenny Bruce? Modern pop-culture is pretty much a frat-boy farting contest, there's no "artistry" involved. He was on MadTV for a few years, that's all I know of him and I can't remember one sketch he was in.
