Trent Lott apologizing wasn’t ever enough either.

Must have been "yo mamma" since you don't me or my folks.

My folks taught me that actions have consequences and the consequence for punks who call girls whores for sport in my neighborhood was a tuneup. Not PC nor congruent with your nursery rhyme but very effective.

How do you arrive at a proportional punishment for a racial slur? Fitty Cents can say anything and get paid for it. He can call a Caucasian a cracker and it would sell. Why not have some stones and just fire Imus if its worth any punishment at all?

For real? I don’t like what he said, but good grief, what happened to free speech in this nation? How is Rosie still on the air may I ask?

I think it’s humiliating, but I think Imus already humiliated himself by going to sharpton and appearing on his show.

If a conservative called a group of black women, nappy hair ho's and jigaboos .. they would have been fired on the spot

Imus went on Sharpton's show and during his so called apology went on to say that he didn't want people to think he was a "Right Wing Racist Nut" ... he also went on to say white crackers and rednecks

So I'm not feeling to much sympathy for the man

Please excuse my ignorance, but is this Imus guy someone famous? I've heard people make reference to him on other radio programs and even a few references here and there on this forum, but until the news this morning I had never seen a picture of him nor even knew what he did.

Is he some local (east or west coast) DJ or what? He seems to be all the media can talk about today.

I remember John DePetro on WRKO in Boston was fired last year for calling a third party candidate a fat lesbian. He apologized etc. and was still let go. Personally, I liked DePetro a lot. I think he is on some station in Rhode Island now.

Oh yes, I agree with you completely. I see the larger picture. It’s just Imus in the hot seat “this time.”

I hope he leaves msnbc with a huge vacancy. Let them try to fill it.

Imus used to use the N-word over at WNBC quite a lot. He used it on black people, including Robin Quivers, in the hallways. Imus even confirmed this on Larry King. Sorry, but Imus does NOT have my sympathy. Anyone who calls people that (and Imus was NOT joking) is seriously messed up.

Sharpton and Jackson DID capture the African-American man who assaulted the elderly woman last month, right?

Sharpton did admit that he came to fame in a complete lie that smeared not only law enforcement officials but also prosecutors, right?

I mean since we are holding Imus to the highest possible standard....it seems fair that these two shake down artists be held to the same standard.

He had the guts to say that? If republicans had any guts they would stay OFF his show because he is talking about them. Needless to say, that won’t happen.

I believe I was listening to NWA many many years ago. Tell me all about hip hop and ‘gangsta’ rap.

Tell me who ‘Strawberry’ is in that context please. Then you can tell me what that group’s name is all spelled out too.

Why the crap have the anti-American al-Qaeda supporters at NBC not been suspended for life?

How many times have you told us about your daughters? They or you shouldn’t be watching Imus if your so easily offended.

What’s happening here is that Imus is being disciplined by his employer for his stupid remarks. It has nothing to do with the government. What happens between Imus and the brothers and fathers of these gals is an entirley different matter. Personally, I think every girl on that team could kick the limo liberals arse without any help.
