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 don’t care for Imus but I think it’s fair punishment for him being stupid.
ABSOLUTELY!!!!
It’s not political correctness. Imus is an employee of MSNBC. If he says something that offends the network, they have every right to suspend. If I said this type thing at my job, I’d be suspended too.
I don’t understand some of you calling this pc. Some suspensions are pc motivated, sure-not this one. Imus’ statement was way out of line.
Disagree that this is political correctness run amok. Would you like someone to talk about your daughter as a “nappy hair ho” with no recourse? Most people find this offensive.
Of course if you are a rapper you are merely reflecting your community standards and you get a free pass along with greenbacks and possibly a crappy grammy.
I agree we should be disturbed.
Why?
Because if the PC folks had their way they'd change the 1st Amendment to read something like this.
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech unless it offends minorities, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
“Conservatives should be VERY disturbed by this sort of political correctness run amok”
Political correctness?!?!? You call an African American women a “nappy headed ho” and that’s “politcally uncorrect”??? Try racist. This bozo has been doing this schtick for years and he’s finally getting called on the carpet. Goooood ridence.
