That will get you kicked off national TV, that's what.

When did MSNBC become "national" TV? It's cable. Cable is not broadcast TV. They could have had Savage doing the show buck naked if they liked. Sorry the mental image that comment might offer:)

The reason Savage is off is because we must all agree that being queer is normal. That's the rule.

When did the distinction between broadcast and cable determine whether a show was national or not? Since MSNBC is available pretty much everywhere I would consider it national, like Fox or CNN or the Disney Channel.

And no, he could not have appeared buck naked on MSNBC. Maybe HBO, but they have different standards than a cable outlet that is trying (poorly) to be a legitimate news operation.

"The reason Savage is off is because we must all agree that being queer is normal. That's the rule."

No, there are other conservative commentators who criticize the gay agenda without being booted off the air (e.g. Pat Buchanan). They just do it within the parameters of what's acceptable conduct on national news programs. You obviously think his grade school tirade should have been acceptable. Perhaps you should start your own news organization.
