I can't see where wishing someone AIDS or wishing their Grandchildren AIDS can be put into any kind of context. If Bret Hume (for example) had wished Hillary Clinton or Chelsea Clinton a harmful disease we all would have been calling for his termination (myself included). I see a double standard.
Sorry but I believe NPR was wrong to fire him when numerous "offensive" statements were previously overlooked. Why would he be under any conceivable notion that they were finally going to enforce what they claim is their "policy"? I guess no means OK until NPR wanted it to mean no. There is a definite lack of consistency on their part.
