I think it's a matter of context.  If he referred to the other candidates by their names and then said "and the fat lesbian's position on that issue is xxxxxx", it would be obvious that it was intended as an insult.  I didn't hear it nor see a transcript so I can't say for sure.

It always seems though that when a talk host gets fired for such an infraction, he most always winds up with a better gig in a bigger market.
