That's stupid. I hate his show and he's awful, but he shouldn't quit because of that.

It's a stretch to call MSNBC "news".

Look, the man is an asshole, but in the end its hardly as if he called for her assassination, so in the end this another pointless  overreaction.

He shouldn't have been fired for the comments (I suspect that was the case), but if I told you that I wanted to take a s*it in your mouth, I would most likely be infracted with 5 or 6 points, and justifiably so.

Lol. This is seriously stupid, but I'm glad he quits. He's an absolutely terrible person.

A great person whom, seriously and soberly, suggests that a s*** should be taken in the mouth of a woman. Hmmm

And some Republicans say that political correctness is a Marxist plot to censor what they have to say. Oh well, I wish him good luck in the future.

We have conservatives on the radio who have said a lot worse and still make big bucks. What Bashir said doesn't even make the bottom of the fuss charts, even Palin herself has said worse.

If that is the standard for warranting a resignation, Rush Limbaugh should have gone off the air at least 15 years ago and Ann Coulter should be forbidden from showing her face in public.

Great news. He obviously should have been banned from media after his hit piece on Michael.

And the revolving door at MSNBC continues. At least they still have Rachel Maddow.

It isn't the first time he's been fired for crude remarks about a woman.

I actually liked him because he would say outrageous things but it was okay cuz he's like British and Asian so it sounds polite.

Stupid move, Marty.

They also cancelled Alec Baldwin's show last week over his use of an anti-gay slur.
