Live Thread - Rutgers Press Conference on Imus Remarks

The coach of the women's basketball team is speaking now.

[SE Mom]

Imus is what he is- when I used to listen to him I heard a lot worse come out of his mouth. This is nothing new.

The marketplace will deal with Imus. I’m not sure his apologies- whether heartfelt or otherwise- will placate the people who are bent on stifling speech and making the world PC.

What I find appalling and infuriating is the left never condemns the equally offensive words coming, from, say the likes of Jack Cafferty.

[Fudd Fan]

Hope the media isn’t niggardly with the coverage.

[Gabz]

But who will Joe Biden talk to now?

His hairplugs?

player demands personal apology from Imus

[advertising guy]

all respects dog but that coach was good enuf for me that if,I had a daughter and she wanted to play basketball at Rutgers,I’m all in.

[Sue Perkick]

Never thought I’d see the day I would agree with Stern.

The end is near.

[Pyro7480]

Good! What was the response? I stopped watching when the team captain started speaking.

[mewzilla]

....the other liberals will though.

Oh, I don't know. Most of them still seem to be hiding under the bedclothes. Anyone heard a peep out of NOW, for example? God knows they went after Larry Summers for just asking a question they didn't like. No slurs involved. But we haven't heard a thing from any of the lib women's groups, have we?

[meg88]

I don’t think Imus is there, this seems like a liberal NCAA gripe fest/press conference

[advertising guy]

hell no I’m not kidding good freeper.That coach has EVERY RIGHT to qualify her background...Treuly this is heavy stuff and Imus should have his ass whipped. So hell yes I’m serious

[Pukin Dog]

The coach is a professional victim, and if I had a daughter, I would not let her near that woman. Not only would the child be subject to all that self righteous sanctimony, she might also be attacked by some amazonian lesbian.

And anyone who thinks 'Amazonian' is racial, can kiss my ass.

[Pyro7480]

No, I mean, what was the response to the question about rap?

[Howlin]

I imagine the liberals, especially the press, are in quite a quandry; they love Imus and if he goes, they loose a great place to bash the Republicans.........LOL.

That said, the idea that Imus is a bigot is ridiculous; if anything, he’s an equal opportunity offender. He does great work for children and charities.

[advertising guy]

fair enuf.as it has been said..one man’s opinion is another man’s wife......

[Howlin]

There was NO response about the rap music. They’re not going to dis their own people., FGS.

[Pukin Dog]

I think we know what the next South Park will be about, don't we? Matt and Trey will be burning the midnight oil on this one.

[LIConFem]

Imus was, is and always will be a jackass. But this whole thing has gone about 50 light years beyond absurd.

[meg88]

They said we need to move on etc. typical lib spin.

Reporters now asking for more punishment for Imus during the two weeks, having their 'moment' taken away from them, and if it is enough

[Hildy]

Let’s take a pool..how long before the “Don Imus scholarship for women’s basketball” appears? This is what this is all about, isn’t it?

[dead]

I believe the fourth girl from the left with the big hoop earrings is the girlfriend of next year’s Heisman trophy winner - Ray Rice.
