Whaddaya think about Isaiah's comments?

Could someone explain the dedication at the end of Jan. 18th episode. I believe in memory of Bob Verne.

Once was bad enough. The second time shows that he is a total homophobic bigot and what he has done is unforgivable. He has reached the lowest level of the gutter which he can share with Mel Gibson.

I think this entire think is going too far if they fire Isiah I am not watching this show anymore.

Go here to see the meaning of the dedication.....

I think the remarks made by Isiah Washington were awful and to especially bring more light to it during the night at the golden globes was the last straw. He needs to apologize to everyone..cast, gay rights groups, etc. I do not think he should be fired, however, his character is a crucial part of the show. He is the only one on the show who does not go over the top emotionally.

So, now that Washington has used the "F" word, does that make it ok for us to call HIM the "N" word?
He should GO! There are lots of potential replacements for him. We don't need or want the likes of him.

Hmmm, I think that he poorly chose his words originally and just was stating he DID NOT call TR that, when he said it the second time around. He wasn't calling ANYONE anything when he said it at the Globes. Perhaps he should have said "I did not call TR that name." and not actually said what he was accused of saying, but I think this second round has been blown up a bit too much. And I love Burke and don't want to see him go.

He has apologized for anything that he might have said to offend the gay and lesbian community. It’s time to move on. Mr. Washington is a major asset to the show – without doubt he is an excellent actor and brings an abundance of charm, professionalism and sex appeal to the show. We need to ask the network to stop the bloodletting. Support Washington so we can move on.

Further, may I say that I am distressed by the studio’s lack of confidentially. How does information like this leak out of studio, putting the show at risk; outing a co-star and putting the career of yet another star in jeopardy. Some one is sleep behind the wheel and needs to be fired but it ain’t Williams.

I'm sorry. But even though Washington was saying at the GG's that he DIDN'T call TR a "f-----"... the word seemed to fall all to easily out of his mouth. There was no shock, no dismay, not even indignation that he was (again) accused of calling someone - a close co-worker! - such a terrible thing. The behavior speaks for itself. Shame on you Isaiah.
