Imus, O'Reilly, Michael Moore, Jane Fonda, Teddy the Whale, John Freakin' Kerry, Alec Baldwin, Little Tommy Da$$hole, Billy Clintooooon, the other co-president, etc. - all practitioners of the politics of FEAR, DIVISION, and HATRED!

One major problem is that the operation of government, including the workshop of the legal industry, have become props for the entertainment industry. One remedy would be a massive electrical power failure for the broadcast industry for at least five years.

So did we....Imus is another flip-flop Kerry as far as we're concerned..and the only reason Imus is supporting Kerry is because the Heinz Corporation donated thousands of dollars to "the ranch." End of story. Imus has a price.

I saw a picture on a thread yesterday on FR that had that exact quote, but for Jimmy Carter instead of Saddam. I wonder if Imus is a lurker, or somebody emailed it to him. He was obviously joking.

[Pedrobud]

I stopped listening to ANUS several months ago because of his unfair attacks on Bush, etc. He does say a lot of things to get people going and I did not hear this. He is a jerk and I would be happy to have him off the air. He used to be good years ago

Some of you folks need to get a sense of humor.

"Imus is a moron, I stopped listening to the self centered idiot years ago."

Ditto. Bears repeating.

Imus can be irritating and frustrating, but he instigates responses from people you will not hear anywhere else. And he allows people like Mary Matalin to come on and set him straight and present the President's side in a way no one else is doing---which is a damn shame. I prefer him to O'Reilly sho completely lost me last night when he was KO'd by Jabba the Mooreon.

I am amazed at how many of you are so easily dismissive of the comments because they may have been a joke. Saddam is evil. He brutalized and murdered millions of people. It is OK to joke about that? It is OK to joke about a person that caused over 900 Americans to lose their lives to get rid of?

Still living at a home and sitting in front of a computer in your underwear does not qualify you to laugh at evil.

This is serious stuff. People are still dying because of Saddam and you think its OK to joke about that. You should be ashamed, but I know you are not.

[gilliam]

Best thing you can do with Imus is just turn him off.

[metalcor]

Good satire is offensive to somebody. I get mad at Imus regularly, but often what he says is a device to provoke people to defend their positions or to point out the ridiculousness of their positions. And he often does it to demonstrate the idiocy of his own confilicted opinions. If you don't get it, don't watch it. It's OK.

[The Wizard]

Imus is an asshole, and he'd be the first to admit it.....this is just proving the obvious

[Mister Blond]

Where have you been? Imus has been saying this same thing for months. Nothing to get into a big huff about. Basically, he's saying the Iraqi people don't deserve our help based on how they've responded via the "Resurgents". And he's not far from being right.

Imus is backing Kerry in this election but I still respect him. He's the best morning show by a wide margin (For political junkies, anyway). His anti-partisanship is a bit refreshing.

[wtc911]

Geeez, grow up a little. Imus's self proclaimed MO is to try his best to get his interviewee to say something stupid or reactionary. Nearly every one of his interviews has a moment where he tries to provoke such a comment. Either you are not a regular Imus listener or you haven't been paying attention.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Do yourself a serious favor.

Don't EVER turn on South Park.

"Best thing you can do with Imus is just turn him off."

Does anyone listen to Grandma Imus anymore? I've never seen his ratings, but they can't be good.

[litehaus]

The list of JERKS is way TOOOOOOO long on MSNBC, CNBC, CNN etc etc ............Stick to FOX 4 TV ,and radio otherwise....BTW-WELCOME

[Cultural Jihad]

These organizations HATE America, and they only way to get rid of them is not to watch.

What will force them to change their tune is a loss of advertising revenue. These liberals spewing their garbage are being paid to do so by businesses. If even a handful of people were to write letters to the advertisers of these shows expressing their outrage that their sensibilities and sensitivities are being assualted, it would have a tremendous effect. Business is not there to pay others to make their customers angry at them. Watch how fast the liberal's principled message changes when their gravy train threatens to roll away.

I suspect Imus was trying to be funny/cute/whatever; however, his attempt seems insipid and, judging by your reaction, somewhat misunderstood by those who don't listen to him regularly. I say "somewhat" because his vacuous ramblings tend to wander around like they're in search of ratings.
