Martin Bashir has left MSNBC after making crude remarks about Sarah Palin on his show last month.
On Nov. 15, Bashir was responding to Palin’s comparison of the national debt to slavery and said that the former Vice Presidential nominee’s comments dehumanized the horrifying pain and torture that slaves endured. He specifically noted the story of Thomas Thistlewood, a slave owner who forced his slaves to defecate in each other’s mouth as a punishmenteven spelling out the “s” wordand suggested that someone should do the same to her.
