“I think they are walking a tight rope...”

I think they’re desperate for a story.

He's naieve, courting all these MSM / Newsweek, NYTimes celebrities and taking them seriously,

Imus is no fool. It's these LMSM/Newsweak/NYSlimes, celebrities, etc. who buy his Imus Ranch products, Green products, and donate to his ranch and other causes he promotes...just IMHO as to why he courts them so.

More people have probably watched MSNBC in the past few days than have watched it in months.

This is 'good' for them all around. Just like the bad little kids in class........anything for attention.

Look how Ann Coulter was treated for using the f - - - - - word

What makes the treatment of Ann Coulter worse was that she was attacked by pseudo-conservatives and RINOs who are ostensibly on our side.

“Because he said ‘nappy?’”

Exactly. As if there are no OTB [other than black] people with nappy hair.

Specifically, the problem as I see it is that the Sharptons and Jacksons have coined the term ‘nappy’ and now they want sole ownership of it!

Can’t we say ‘what it is?’ or ‘sup bro?’

When will Webster’s publish a Eugenics dictionary?

**************

Agreed. Do we really want to continue down this path toward the kind of restricted speech that is happening in Europe? The hypocrisy is stunning.

I agree with you. I detest Imus and what he stands for but I support his right to say what he does....

The news conference this morning from Rutgers was overkill IMO... black people dise white people every day; Al Sharpton and Charles whatshisname from Harlem say very nasty things about white people all the time and no one blinks an eye...this is about a lot more than Don Imus being politically incorrect.

“The hypocrisy is stunning.”

Indeed. I don’t hear any Yiddish folks complain when I say, “oy vey!” It’s not like they own the copyright or something.

Bad Imus. Bad, bad, bad Imus.

Its o.k. to pick on white ethnic groups, but stay away from “minorities”.

The shock jock got schocked by those towers of public rectitude Al “the Tawana Banana” Liar and Jessie “Hymietown” Jackson.

Imus should start playing this rap crap instead of the country music on his show to make the point.

Imus will be on the air until next week. End of this week is their annual fundraising for SIDS so he’s allowed to stay on the air for that.

I am quite convinced he would have gotten away with all this if he hadn’t attacked David Gregory last week. Blamed him for the poor ratings, etc.

Can’t allow Imus to be mean to the America haters, now can we?

THAT is a great idea, but it will be totally lost on those who listen to and LIKE what those "rappers" sing, and without one whit of "shock."

So it was okay for some old ignorant trash to attack a bunch of college kids on a national scale. But it is overkill for them to respond when they were the ones that were insulted. I guess the kids who were at the receiving end at a unprovoked attack, don’t deserve the a national stage to respond.

I want just one person without bringing up other people or issues to tell me what these young girls did to deserve this.

I don't defend what he said -- I defend his right, under the first ammendment, to say it. Just as I detest Rosie and what she says every day of the week.

It wasn't about those girls -- really.... it was typical IMUS, stupid and over the top. He has said much worse about the POTUS and other people..

What is my point is Al Sharpton, Jessy Jackson etc., all say much worse and HAVE done harm (as in Tawala Brawley and more) and there has been no retribution -- why? Because they are black and therefore immune.

If you are going to hold people responsible for what they say -- then it needs to work on both sides of the street. It doesn't and that is what makes me angry about this...

IMUS went on Sharpton's show to appologize... that is more than Sharpton has ever done ... and Sharpton was rude and said he didn't want to hear his appology. He didn't invite him to appologize, but to insult him on the air for his own ratings.

What I am angry about is we have become so politically correct that we are going to destroy this country because of it.

Rude is rude -- no matter who says it, but either hold everyone responsible equally for rude comments or hold no one responsible.
