For this he's being shunned..SENT TO REHAB and there's talk of him being fired. I am speechless. What have we turned into?

A bunch of limp-wristed girly-men.

Actually that might work but I think that if he claimed he had converted to Islam and Allah told him to be on a "jihad" against "gay infidels who blaspheme the name of Allah" that would have done the trick.

Homosexuals are filthy perverts! Will saying such a thing eventually result in government-mandated confinement and rehabilitation?

We haven't turned into anything. They have turned into Maoist thought crime enforcers.

Here's the story from the National Enquirer:

GREY'S ANATOMY STAR'S SHOCKING GAY SLUR

Hot-head Isaiah Washington hurled a vicious gay slur at one of his co-stars during an on-set brawl – and the ugly explosion of hate is ripping apart TV’s number one show.

Last week, the ENQUIRER broke the blockbuster news that Isaiah, 43, choked Patrick Dempsey, 40, in an Oct. 9 fight on the set of “Grey’s Anatomy." And now we can reveal the secret behind the outrage.

“The melee has set off World War III on the show and may cost Isaiah his job,” an insider told The ENQUIRER.

“The cast is divided over the shameful event.”

As The ENQUIRER exclusively revealed last week, Patrick and Isaiah clashed over cast members being late to the set, right before shooting a scene at Prospect Studios in Los Angeles.

A heated discussion quickly escalated to violence when Isaiah snapped, revealed an eyewitness.

At one point, Isaiah yelled, “I’m not your little faggot like (name deleted),” according to the source. Those who heard him were stunned.

Because of the extreme nature of the slur, The ENQUIRER is withholding the name of the co-star targeted by Washington. During the brawl, an enraged Isaiah grabbed Patrick by the throat and shoved him a few feet.

My gosh, this EXTREME SLUR is used on every playground in America. Geez. Sounds like they're looking for an excuse to get rid of this guy.

I'm going to reiterate a point I made in another thread about this.

I truly believe the media is not accurately portraying this. Isiah Washington has a history of having a temper problem and violence toward co-stars. He's even lost jobs because of it, and had a restraining order taken out against him.

They can play up the slur all they want. He was sent to counseling because of his anger issues.

That's what it looks like, but that's not how they're choosing to report it. I just posted the report above and it does mention the violence. But the violence is rarely mentioned...it's the word.

Where have you been living, a cave?

If TR Knight had said "I'm not your little n_____ like Isaiah Washington" he would already have been fired.

It's definitely all about the word. IMO, that is because there are so many homosexuals in powerful positions in Hollywood, that the studio, the media, etc. all have to make it look like they will not tolerate this type of behavior.

Apparently the same does not apply to anti-semites and racists, because Mel went into rehab for alcohol, not his comments, and Michael Richards never did any rehab.

My take is that this was not forced on Washington, but was calculated by his PR people to lessen the impact of his words. By going into "rehab" it implies a sickness for which the actor should be pitied and supported, rather than condemned for bigotry.

A couple years ago me and five other guys that lived in our neighborhood were sitting around the roll out fire pit in the middle of the cul-de-sac drinking (mostly) beer. Everytime somebody got up to leave, the others would say "you're gay" and keep it up until he sat back down.

We were out there until 4 AM.

ABC sent him. It is just WRONG to use rehab as a re-education/indoctrination camp! It is equally wrong to even suggest that someone who uses ANY term, regardless of what another thinks of it, is in need of some form of counseling. This is the most egregious threat to free speech yet!
