"We applaud and encourage Isaiah's realization that he needs help and his subsequent choice to seek immediate treatment for his behavioral issues," Rhimes said.

Chilling.

[PeterPrinciple]

He's in therapy for his use of an anti-gay slur against a castmate.

Wasn't too long ago the Homo would be in therapy........

[BenLurkin]

He's crazy for thinking he's crazy.

[cripplecreek]

Gotta cure those nasty opinions.

[Gay State Conservative]

One could argue that "faggot" is an imprecise word and therefore not very useful in every day speech.

"Amoral",OTOH......

[Suzy Quzy]

"Needs to get his mind right"........who said that, HITLER?

"With the support of my family and friends, I have begun counseling. I regard this as a necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again," Washington said in a statement Wednesday. "I appreciate the fact that I have been given this opportunity and I remain committed to transforming my negative actions into positive results, personally and professionally."

Man oh man . . . I thought I was jaded, but this scares me to the marrow of my bones!

What?! I guess the Gaystapo are getting what they want. And when folks won't volunteer for "therapy", they will push for laws so they can be "compelled" to be "re-educated". Sick.

[Argus]

I remember when William F. Buckley called Gore Vidal a "faggot" and threatened to punch him out on live TV when they were in a booth covering one of the party conventions back in the Sixties. This right after Vidal called Buckley a "crypto Nazi".

Nobody got sent to a reeducation camp over it. Saner times...

[cripplecreek]

You sound like a global warming heretic.

This is a bad precedent. Usually, after something like this the offender says he has a substance abuse problem and goes into rehab, and everyone is "happy." Now, people are going to get sent away for how they think, and opinions will become "behavioral issues" and then crimes.

[cripplecreek]

John Rocker was pushed into "therapy" several years ago when he complained about not being able to hear an American voice when he walked down the street.

[garyhope]

Before long,....government installed chips in everyones brain to search for thought crimes. No words, no utterences, just the thought will be enough to throw you into a "re-education" camp.

Unless you're black, gay or female. They can't possibly be any type of bigot.

[TrishaSC]

I agree. This really is scary. I am so afraid that we are going to lose the cultural war.

[TrishaSC]

Well Isaiah is black so I think everyone would have the chips. His dislike of gays trumped his blackness so he's got to go reeducation camp.

[KStorm]

Next year it will probably be some poor soul who speaks out against bestiality. He'll be brought to court by NAMSLA (North American Man Stallion Love Association). His therapy will consist of repeated viewings of the sequel to Brokeback Mountain, in which pool hustler Robert Redford makes an indecent proposal to Jake Gyllenhaal -- a million dollars if he can sleep with his horse.

[dcnd9]

Ridiculous P.C. madness!!

[GoldCountryRedneck]

Whatever happened to "Sticks and bones may break my bones....."?????

Silly me...guess it wouldn't generate headlines or busine$$ for shrinks...

[ishabibble]

A black man in PC jail for using a slur? If this guy had an ounce of guts, he would never have apologized in the first place.
BTW, the guy that IW called a "fa@@ot" is a homosexual.
You cannot call a spade a spade in LaLa Land. O the irony!

[weegee]

Wonder when they'll start locking up all Republicans in Hollyweird for thoughtcrime and political re-education.

There is a blacklist in Hollywood. The Commies ain't skeered.
