Sometimes the line is indeed hard to draw. That's what courts are for. But most cases are really straight forward, such as this one.

If you really think this was just a "bad taste joke" you should probably read the article again. More generally, those people always say this was just a "joke" or meant to be "funny". But that's obviously a lame excuse for being an asshole.
> I don't recall the Monty Python team being arrested for their ridicule of the Nazis
Monty Python did make fun of Nazis, which is entirely different and easily distinguished from what happened here.
