That was pretty early in his career, and he's on record as regretting jokes like that. He certainly doesn't make jokes like that now.
Patton Oswalt: “Are there gay retarded people? If so, where’s their march? They should be allowed to have a march!”
Got anyone else?
So you look to comedians for moral lessons? Is that what Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, and George Carlin did for you? Did they always punch up?
Find me another time he's legitimately **** all over a group of people who were utterly failed by the system.

IMHO comedy particularly the satirical type and political correctness are polar opposites. This was a paid performance with the attendees total aware of his style and what to expect. He's not broadcasting to the world or forcing anyone to listen.Louis C.K. Faces New Backlash After Leaked Audio of set. CBS This Morning Published on Dec 31, 2018

I'm going to start out by saying I like Louis C.K.'s brand of humor. I also like the fact that he owned and admitted his bad acts, and apologized for them immediately. That's called taking responsibility.
More importantly, I admire the fact he has decided to come back, and not only that but to come back strongly within his own brand of humor.
I don't support the politics of offense, because as I have often stated, offense is taken not given.
Anyone recall the oft used phrase of comic's "too soon?" when cracking a joke about any subject someone might take offense to?
Well Louis C.K. is a comic who pushes the boundaries and tweaks (if not punches) the noses of the Politically Correct.
I wish him well and a speedy return to the public stage with all his faults supporting his brand of humor.
How about the Jews:

Dude. Stop.
I disagree.Satire has a definition, and this wasn't it.
This is the EXACT kind of comedy he has always done. It is rougher around the edges because it isn’t a recorded special. He is likely trying out different things to see what works and what doesn’t.
Anyone who will boycott him over this was never a fan of his in the first place.
I laugh at some of his stuff, dislike other things. I'm not going to melt, but apparently a lot lily-eared snowflakes are.This is the EXACT kind of comedy he has always done.
