I think if we are all honest with ourselves, we could understand getting wrapped up and heated and then saying shit that's incredibly over the line and we should not ever say.
But, these people wouldn't ever offer us the same courtesy or second chances, so I don't think we owe them a moment of mercy in return.
There's several principals here: Jack Black, Kyle Gass, and the Audience.
Jack Black may be forgiven, as he didn't say it and disavowed it (eventually). Kyle, if you're exceedingly tolerant and he issues a reasonable apology and explanation.
But the audience laughing cannot be forgiven - they most of all need to suffer consequences. Their beloved band should never play again. Tenacious D should be nuclear waste where people are shunned for saying they listen to it, certainly that it's their favorite band.
