Take the advice offered here so far if you intend to attempt to do anything about it. Still, you have to move on and try to forget them. Agonizing over why they did it just makes it that much harder to find a new position elsewhere.

At least it wasn't George Carlin that got you fired! :P
(long-story-short: wife sent a joke to me at work, at the beginning of Iraq war where Carlin analyzed it as nothing more than a pissing-match, only with the use of the word "penis". Company interpreted my public posting on the right-wing pro-war section of the email server as "porn" and fired me at the end of the day.)
(I know, stupid mistake, though I learned later that they were laying people off left and right, just a few months after I was gone, due to "over-hiring".)
