no don imus discussion?

I don't like what he said, but I absolutely loathe the fact that because someone says something offensive he now has to be canned.

Why? If you don't like what he says, don't listen.

It's the sick direction of our country unfortunately.

The government hasn't taken any action to "can" Imus. No person or entity has the ability to force the employer to fire Imus. Imus' employer listens to Imus, listens to Sharpton, listens to others in the public, and the employer makes a decision. If you don't like Imus' employer's decision, don't support Imus' employer. If you disagree with Sharpton or Jackson, speak out against them. But why is it there is something wrong with "the sick direction of our country" when this incident is just an example of the free market at work?

It took them hours to straighten their hair for the press conference.

the guy obv isn't a racist. 10% of the kids at his ranch are black. he's not a white person that doesn't know any african americans.

[Jack of Arcades]

I can't imagine Imus ever calling a white woman a "nappy-headed ho." I think the insults were race and gender-specific.

Imus is a non-issue and this story is a non-issue.

Then the moderators should delete all the threads about this in the various forums, no?

let me rephrase:

Nobody cares about Imus. What he said wasn't all that bad anyway. Why is everybody spending so much time talking about this?

The only newsworthy story here is how Imus has stayed on the air all these years despite not having an audience, not being funny, and not even really being able to talk.

I didn't even realize Don Imus was either:

A. Still on the radio
B. Alive

He's not actually alive. That's really a corpse and his sidekick is one helluva ventroloquist.

Hmmm...what's wrong with this picture concerning this story?



Actually would have been funny if the white chick had been the spokesman for the team.
