"Grey's" Creator: Isaiah Insulted Everyone

31. It is ridiculous that he enters any type of treatment for what he said. Is Hollywood stupid enough to believe going to rehab forgives all??? I mean the guy just made poor choices and verbally expressed them. He sounds like he thinks he is above others more than any other issues.

32. My good friend's nephew works for one of the Grey's producers & it is a well known fact on the set that he has a HUGE drug problem. STILL NO EXCUSE!

33. Where is Gloria Allred now? She was sure standing up for Michael Rchard's "victims". Why isn't she standing up for Isiah Washington's "victim"?

34. Sticks and stones anyone? Come on...a word is a word. Get over it. Maybe we should be focusing on the real injustices in the world. The same idiots that are screaming over this would take the other side and have issues if someone tried to "infringe" on civil rights issues such as "abridging the freedom of speech."

35. I think everything has gotten out of hand here...The guy made a mistake...He just needs to learn how to hush his mouth....He is a good actor & I do not think he needs to be fired or killed off...Celebs just need to keep their opinons to themselves...look at the mess he is in not to mention Rosie, the big mouth just becuz they sound off.

36. Hollywood, listen up.

Rehab is for people with real drug and drinking problems. I guess no one told you that. It's not a place to rehab your rep. It's not a vacation. It's not a trend. You don't go there and come out with a clean slate just because you went. Stop making it into a joke.

38. The term faggot or fagot, meaning bundle of sticks, shows up around 1300 in English. It almost certainly came from Old French, possibly going back to Greek phakelos. Since those bundles of sticks were mainly used for fires, it's not surprising that the term came to mean burning sticks. Then there was that nasty business in medieval times where heretics were burned at the stake. Some later cites indicate heretics who repented and were spared a fiery death had to wear a picture of a faggot on their sleeve to show what might have been their fate. But no print evidence exists that homosexuals were referred to as faggots before the twentieth century, with the origin definitely in the U.S., not Britain.

The British continued to use the words fag and faggot as nouns, verbs and adjectives right through the early 20th century, never applying it to homosexuals at any time. To fag or to be a fag was a common term in British schools from the late 1700s and referred to a lower classman who performed chores for upperclassmen. While this term was also in vogue at Harvard in the first half of the 19th century, it died out by the mid-1800s in the U.S., leaving it in use only in England. Nineteenth century Britons also heard "faggot" used in reference to an ill-tempered woman, i.e., a ball-buster, a battleaxe, a shrew. That meaning of the term continued into the early 20th century, and the usage was gradually applied to children as well as women. The relationship, if any, between faggot-as-bundle-of-sticks and faggot-as-shrewish-woman is unknown.

The first known published use of the word faggot or fag to refer to a male homosexual appeared in 1914 in the U.S. It referred to a homosexual ball where the men were dressed in drag and called them "fagots (sissies)." Ernest Hemingway, in The Sun Also Rises (1926), included the line, "You're a hell of a good guy, and I'm fonder of you than anybody on earth. I couldn't tell you that in New York. It'd mean I was a faggot." A 1921 cite says, "Androgynes [are] known as 'fairies,' 'fags,' or 'brownies.'"

This TR person (can't call him a man) needs to quit crying and get over it. Must have been embarassed if he was hiding in the closet! Until gay people start showing some pride in theirselves this shit will continue. What happened to gay pride?? Stand up and show off your rainbow! Prove to people you can be gay and still kick some ass!

45. let your viewing do the talking, don't watch the show, let ABC know exactly why you won't watch the show (email, regular mail) and see if that doesn't get this situation remedied.

Rehab is for qutters, not a-hole bigots.
