Yes. Crowder makes Jew jokes all the time. Asian jokes, black jokes, etc. They're just jokes. All (funny) comedians do this.
Would conservatives likewise defend anti-Semitic jokes or are only anti-gay jokes OK? Look I get that people like Crowder, but let’s look for the principles here. It this about free speech or only a certain category of free speech?

Yes. Jokes are jokes.

Yes. I'm not conservative, but cons don't tend to come out in droves to demand that comedians are silenced. Bee, Noah, Kimmel 2.0, Meyers, etc., are hacks but I'd *never* demand that their networks *fire* them. I just do this radical thing called not watching their shows.

Crowder pretty much does it about everyone because outrage. If you start getting offended and outraged, you’ve become part of the joke.
-
And it’s still free speech. A lot of people still think Alfred E. Neumann was offensive, and Howard the Duck. And the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. NOT FUNNY they screamed, and went to Congress to shut them down. And they were all part of the joke.

The context to Crowder’s jokes included the fact that Maza himself joked about wanting to be so gay that words couldn’t describe his gayness, and he even egged Crowder on by urging him to put more effort into his caricatures of Maza’s lisp and mannerisms.

And people should not be punished for making a joke that falls flat or offends someone. If the standard is that comedy is not allowed to offend anyone, then that basically outlaws all comedy.

Free speech is free speech, we might disagree, dislike, be disgusted with someone’s speech but it’s their right to say it and it’s our right to ether ignore it, not listen to it or confront it with speech. ANY censorship of speech is a two way Pandora’s pox.

I get you don’t watch him, but he goes after everyone much like South Park (but not nearly as funny)

You can joke about anything. All subjects are open to comedy.

Tasteless jokes don’t need defending. Being deplatformed does

It’s about defending people’s right to say repugnant things, to the death if necessary. Full

You have to accept all jokes against gays Jews blacks Muslims White purple people yellow people brown people and if you don't like it then jump off a bridge or 50-story building

Book of Mormon was satire that at times was very uncomfortable yet a broadway hit. I think everyone needs to stop being so sensitive. Blonde jokes can be very funny and I have laughed at a few.
