But even if it was justified - and I don't believe a throwaway line by a comedian, however offensive, meets the standard to withdraw a broadcast license - what did it actually accomplish?

Obviously no such license revocation ever happened, so it didn't accomplish anything concrete. It also generated very tepid support from most Republicans, and criticism even from friendly media, which did not go unnoticed. I don't see any impact other than overshadowing the comment itself and helping De.ocrats, and then throwing a bit of raw meat to those who already were hard core for going after leftists anyway.
