"All things being equal, they never are." (Mark Twain)  Mr. Draper is correct in saying that performers like Madonna and Johnny Depp and even Ted Nugent say profane, inappropriate and unacceptable things.  But, there is a difference between saying that one thinks the White House (a building) should be blown up (Madonna) and Nugent's numerous threats against President Obama and others, involving the use of his firearms.  He even called for a mass attack, extolling followers to "lop off the heads," of Democrats.  In the greater scheme of things, the utterances of attention craving "performers," mean little.  The current Republican president holds a job that used to be the most respected, and is still the most powerful in the world.  Threats from the President of the US, real or implied, are a very serious matter.  That is, unless we accept that he is on par with attention starved out of work singers and actors.
