Bashir's comments about Palin came on the same day MSNBC suspended actor Alec Baldwin from his weekly show for two episodes for his part in an off-the-air episode. Baldwin used an anti-gay slur in a confrontation with a photographer on a New York City street.
Bashir
used his weekday afternoon program on Nov. 15 to criticize Palin for
her remarks comparing U.S. indebtedness to China to slavery. Bashir
cited the diaries of a former plantation overseer who punished slaves by
having someone defecate in their mouth or urinate on their face. He
suggested the former Alaska governor deserved the same treatment.
Yup there is a double standard at MSNBC if you were living in a cave or something. Anti-gay slur said in heat of the moment 2 week suspension. Advocating copraphillia on a former governor of Alaska and an "I'm sorry" and business as usual. Bashir's apology was pretty heart-felt and wasn't of the "I'm sorry people were outraged" variety but he still needs to face some kind of punishment.
