Why do they care what the hell he says? Does he hold some special power that people will automatically subscribe to his beliefs?
He has the right to say whatever he wants to, this is america after all, at least for a little while longer. If the company wants to fire him that is their business, he does have to follow their rules(not to mention the FCCs rules),but to tell them to re-educate him is as bad, if not worse, then his statement. We don't re-educate people in this country for their beliefs, especially when they give them voice.
About time we put a stop to this PC BS, freedom of speech, take the consequences but speak your piece, and don't appologize for anything if you believe it, if you don't believe it then don't say it.
(1) I don’t think anyone here is seriously proposing re-education camps. I am pretty sure that was tongue in cheek.
(2) Most commentary is on the double standard. There would be congressional hearings if Rush said something like this.
(3) I don’t understand it, but yes, Imus and many others in the liberal media have a tremendous impact on many people. Some will automatically subscribe to his beliefs on many issues. Certainly this one will not have a lot of followers, but it is less commentary than adolescent insults. He hit an impressive low point here. It will be interesting to see what hoops he will jump through to get back in the good graces of the liberal elite in DC.
