IMUS SUSPENDED

[Nextrush]

WILLIAMS ANNOUNCING ON NBC, TWO WEEKS SUSPENSION

[Wormwood]

I’ll have to add Nappi-Headed Ho’s to my list of outlawed words.

Somehow, I believe you already knew not to say that phrase to anyone---especially a black woman.

I seriously doubt that anyone without a stormfront account or a record deal with Ludicris uses such ignorant language regularly.

[Riley]

So what are they going to run? Best of Imus?

They could run the offending episode once every two weeks, and hand him another suspension each time. :-P

[Sue Perkick]

Imus should take his show off the simulcast or to satellite & let MSNBC totally self destruct.

Over here, tomorrow morning.

What ever happened to ‘sticks and stone swill break my bones...’?

Whatever happened to not being a racist douchebag in public?

[jwalsh07]

What ever happened to ‘sticks and stone swill break my bones...’?

What ever happened to knocking limousine liberal punks on their asses when they call your daughters whores?

[mcvey]

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

[Hot Tabasco]

If Imus ever spoke about my daughter like that he'd have a lot more to worry about

Who cares? I've been called a lot worse and just laughed in their faces.

You and the rest of the thin skinned folks in this country just have too much time on your hands that all you have to do is sit around and wait to be dissed so you can vent your bottled up anger about something, no matter what it is.....;...

I think I remember yo mama saying something like "sticks and stones......"

[George W. Bush]

I'm trying hard to summon an opinion.

Sorry, I just don't care after all.

[Arizona Carolyn]

I don’t like Imus, but I like the power trip this puts the likes of Al Sharpton on even less... what ever happened to Sharpton for Tawana Brawley
???

[SE Mom]

Are you serious?

Geeesh...just can’t quit while he’s behind.

[Stajack]

Imus is delusional if he thinks that will be enough to satisfy those “nappy headed racist rabble rousing pimps”

I'm not a "racist rousing pimp" like those you referred to in your post. But I AM nappy headed (or at least I WAS when I had hair). In any event, the son of a gun should be fired INDEFINITELY for two reasons: 1) he's been toeing the line for twenty years 2) ANY conservative who came close to those vile remarks would ALREADY BE GONE, FOREVER.

[leadpenny]

They don’t want to fire him. Roger Ailes would find a way to pick him up.

[umgud]

JJ on MSNBC saying 2 weeks not enough. Should be fired. MSNBC has no balance (black hosts) and should.

[Just sayin]

So then, a CD of this event would be OK by your standards, right?

[Sue Perkick]

They knew what they were getting when they offered him the contract.

[Enchante]

"I dislike Imus. But I don’t know what all the gloating is about here. Conservatives should be VERY disturbed by this sort of political correctness run amok"

I'm not gloating, I'm sneering!!

Actually, I have not commented on this matter.... mainly because I wish "a pox on all their houses" -- I can't stand Imus, but like most/all here I detest the rampant political correctness and hypocrisy of the racist race baiters like Sharpton and Jesse Jackoff even more. As for NBC, suspending Imus for 2 weeks is not nearly enough -- they should suspend themselves for 2 weeks!! (or more) Wouldn't that be wonderful if NBC and PMSNBC announced they were suspending all broadcast operations for 2 weeks in public penance for their "institutional racism"........

Seriously, though, it is disturbing when any major public institution caves on something like this..... the fact that they have the right to enforce their own standards on their employees does not mean that they have drawn the lines intelligently, or that any such PC-nonsense should be tolerated without objection and expressions of contempt.

OKay thanks. I’ll TRY to be up and awake, even if it’s just partially.

[lawdude]

“So what are they going to run? Best of Imus?”

Nope, Selected racist comments from Al S. and Jesse J. with cameos from Tawanna? (Iwanna) and Jesse’s Ho’s!

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I can not stand IMUS and am glad he got busted for his stupidity combined with arrogance and that beeeetch wife of his too!

Having said this, the fact that sharpton and Jesse can get money and air time and “prestige” out of this is just nauseating! Talk about race pimps who make money on racism!

But more than anything, I just don’t get how you can hold Imus accountable when this kind of talk and MUCH worse goes on all the time in the Black media community...music and comedy. I am sick of this double standard. the blacks can call women Hos etc and worse and talk about violence against women ALL the time, and no one except Cosby thinks that is wrong.
