Jerry Lewis, So saying Fag is an attack on s?

Are we going to crucify an American icon like Jerry Lewis the way we did Isaiah Washington from Grey's Anatomy just because he said what he believes? I know, lets ban him from doing his telethon anymore for his "hate crime." I find no harm in what either of them said. Political correctness has run too far amok and things are getting seriously out of hand in the name of tolerance. Absolutely ridiculous in making either of them apologize for this.
