Don Imus will appear on the Rev. Al Sharpton's radio show Monday, five days after Imus made racially charged comments on his own show about the Rutgers women's basketball team, Sharpton and MSNBC announced Sunday.

Despite Imus' scheduled appearance, Sharpton said his position was unchanged: He wants Imus fired and intends to write the Federal Communications Commission about the matter.

"Somewhere we must draw the line in what is tolerable in mainstream media," Sharpton said Sunday. "We cannot keep going through offending us and then apologizing and then acting like it never happened. Somewhere we've got to stop this."

"Somewhere we've got to stop this."

Too many uppity white folk that don't know their place, Al?

[steel_resolve]

And yet they act and speak with impunity. Free speech for me but not for thee.

[RightOnline]

Sharpton wrote the book on racism, that prick. His arrogance, condescension, and hypocrisy are jaw-dropping.

Imus needs to tell this race-baiter to screw himself sideways.

[oceanview]

Imus will be bringing his checkbook to the interview - and all will be forgiven.

[Pukin Dog]

Even though I hate Imus and think he is a total nutbag asshole, It still pains me to see another white man prostrate himself to a thug like Sharpton.

On the other hand, anything that ends with Imus off the air must be a good thing.

[mcenedo]

I see that the groveling continues.

Imus should focus 33% on Tawana, 33% on Freddies Fashion Mart and 34% on Crown Heights.

He should make Al (the racist hate monger) explain why he is not a nappy head (and bring a picture montage of Al's various hairdo's.).

"We cannot keep going through offending us...

I don't think Sharpton can relate...can he even remember when he didn't have straight hair ?

[SaxxonWoods]

“Our characterization was thoughtless and stupid, and we are sorry,” Imus said...”

Multiple personality disorder?

[mort56]

A liberal, intolerant bigot being lectured to by a racist anti-Semite while an immoral MSM spend time worrying about who they should support.

Is this a great country or what?

[longhorn too]

And yet Rosie keeps getting free passes!

[Hilltop]

Hey Al, you uppity, race baiting bitch, deal with the truth.

I’m white, I know my place, continue to search for yours.

[vpintheak]

Imus is a bastard lefty. He is suffering a it her ebut it will blow over and all will be forgotten.

[ronnie raygun]

I am not a fan Imus but Rev Al and Jesse Jerkson are nothing but extortionists! Shacking down large corporations and ruining personal lives and careers to fund thier own dispicable lives. Exploitation of thier own race is thier game. Al Sharpy Sharpton still to this day has not publically apologized for the Tawana Brawley lie!

Robert KKK Btrd can use the “N” word in an interview...

Robert “Sheets” Byrd -A FORMER RECRUITER for THE KKK-

Gets a life Time PASS from Al and Jesse J. all DEMONRATS

Do. AL just wants to shake down $$ and put some fear in

other Demonrats to tow his line.

Don Imus has always walked on the razor’s edge of “racial”
humor. If you need any reassurance of this, check out his
1975 comedy album, “This Honky’s Nuts”. Funny as heck,
but it bent and even broke on the comedy scale with some
of its’ material content.

Imus had fallen out of favor with me some years ago as he
seems to have grown more liberal with age. His statement
about the Rutgers’ girls was both foolish and unnecessary,
but is about the same type of nonsense that is heard daily
by the comics on BET(Black Entertainment Television).
I don’t see Sharpton protesting that production or anything else negative within the black community.

This prohibition of criticism on minorities, started by
the liberals, is a surefire way to keep these people as
a permanent underclass. Without criticism, there is noway
to know what one is doing wrong....JJ61

[popdonnelly]

Doesn’t Sharpton have some things to apologize for? Things that go back years?

[manic4organic]

Who knew Al had a radio show? Maybe his mom/listener.

[ustanker]

Imus needs to borrow Michael Richards knee-pads......Kiss it real good I-man!!!!

[Rosemont]

As Rev Jesse Jackson would say after pulling down his pants and exposing his backside to Imus, “you want to apologize, kiss it”

[Txsleuth]

You don’t mean Tawana Brawley, do you?
