But is it 'homophobic' and 'sexist'?

It's offensive, but I'd probably not say it's unequivocally those more extreme things, in and of itself.

And this is where I part with a lot of my liberal breathen is on the definition of such words.

I want to maintain the power of them by not overusing them, and others disagree and like to apply them ... copiously, shall we say?

I also want us to ridicule these people more than be offended by their childish attempts to get under our skin.

It was such an obvious ploy, and the article's author here responded exactly like Nugent wanted 'the media' to do, I think.

Joan, OTOH, responded brilliantly
