  1. The political correctness of MSNBC is blindingly clear here. Baldwin shouts a fairly common insult, on the street, that could be taken as a gay slur, and he loses his job. Martin Bashir says unspeakably vile things, on the air, against Sarah Palin, and he doesn’t even receive a slap on the wrist. If Bashir had insulted gays rather than a conservative woman, would he still have a job?

  2. Actually… (puts on pedant hat) I used to wonder how a bundle of sticks came to mean homosexual. Turns out it didn’t – “fag” in this sense is from the Yiddish fagele, meaning little goose. It’s a linguistic backformation that turned it into “faggot.”

  3. You must not know the victim hierarchy. Black trumps woman, gay trumps Black,and Muslim trumps everything. It’s right there in the EEO handbook.

  4. I thought Black and Muslim trumped gay? Most “Black” churches preach against homosexuality but nobody says anything (Barack Obama’s get out the vote effort is one of the primary reasons Prop 8 went so poorly for gays in California) and I’ve never heard of GLAAD protesting the Iranian embasy for their treatment of gays.

  5. Years ago, a restaurant where I live used to make something called faggots. They were a combination of liver and hearts made into a pattie. They never appealed to me but they were quite popular around here. I never hear about them anymore so I suppose the restaurant, and maybe the owners, are long gone.

  6. Maybe Bashir is still on the air because he is actually one of those c*cksucking asterisk f*gs at MSNBC. I’m thinking like the whole cocksucking team…. especially that carpet muncher who has yet to come out of her closet as a silver daddy in her leather swing.

  7. Check some English cookbooks, for faggot recipes. What we’d call meatballs or maybe croquettes. God knows where the Limeys got that one from.

    Then again, a “fag” was also an English boarding school junior student assigned to clean a senior student’s study. See Tom Brown’s Schooldays or early P.G. Wodehouse.

    And also a cigarette. I can imagine that coming from a handful of them resembling a bundle of sticks.
