Now, what you see as pushing the limits and positive in that sense, I see as indecent, hateful, lieing rhetorics. In other words, limits that don't need any pushing.
The world doesn't get a better place when the limits of being a decent and truthful person are pushed.

Which, imho, has nothing to do with free speech. Free speech means he won't go to jail for it. Which is good. It does not mean I have to find his speeches acceptable.

Also, I find it hard to compare a comedian to a political commentator.
