Bush and the leadership of U.S government has been called all kinds of names (especially over Iraq war), and they didn't seem to care. In most free-speech societies, you are bound to hear something offensive to you, because everyone can say anything. In this case, I don't know what injury Mr.Cafferty has caused to anyone (yes words can hurt, but if words really hurt, war would be fought over words, not weapons).

U2 issued a statement to that effect. Bono is still focused on Africa but much of South Africa's problems in dealing with HIV are due to Mbeki hindering treatment for years because he was listening to a bunch of quacks claiming that HIV doesn't exist.
