I gotta say, there is certainly not any across the board standard for what you can or can’t say. I don’t like Imus and I don’t feel the least bit sorry for him, and in fact, what he said was typically stupid. But....

Too bad. That cave, in effect, elevates Al Sharpton to the head race hustler. Jesse Jackson will be parking Al’s car now.

Yes Imus is and idiot and an assh*le but have you ever heard how black people talk about other blacks? That’s OK but white people dare not say the same thing. I detest Imus but this is his Shtick, he insults everyone, mostly Republicans, but pretty much everyone. I almost feel sorry for him, that is a big ALMOST. It’s time for him to go so this might as well be it. Buh bye!

Lurch must be devestated. He said Imus was his favorite show.

Maybe if Imus hadn’t exposed Schumer over his lack of Walter Reed visits, everything would be forgiven.

Then again, when does Al Sharpton get the axe for his comments and deeds, past and present?

Personally, I care less about Imus, never listen to him, but this all out effort at silencing people scares the bejeezies out of me.

and how is the venom that Keith Olberman spews every night on a “news” show no less any less hateful than that of Imus’ rants?? MSNBC is so hypocritical it’s impossible to consider it a “news” network....

Perhaps, but he didn't do this. NBC News President Steve Capus did.

MSNBC pulls the plug on simulcast of Imus radio program

I don’t give a damn about Imus but free speech is everything. Another example of the tyranny of the minority destroying a professional for a misstep. It is clear that the constitution gives certain citizens more equal protection under the law than others. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have a history of anti-white, antisemitic racial and religious slurs yet have complete immunity from libel. I guess certain “hate” is protected speech and other “hate” is criminal. More evidence that certain “minorities” greatest power is derived by remaining “victimized” and/or being perpetual under dogs. Can one be less than but equal? We are losing our republic. Pathetic.

Now Imus knows what Trent Lott went through for far, far less outrageous comments.

Occasionally the catch a predator stings are good, but the news programs don’t have it.

Good question. When Imus leaves, MSNBC might actually have negative numbers in the ratings.

Will he have a radio show? Does he have one, now? Or will Sharptongue and the Rev also take that away?

"This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into account many conversations with our own employees," NBC news said in a statement.

A very boring station is on its way out. I turn it off almost every time I tune in, except I did enjoy Imus because of his irreverant humor. It is sad to see the vanquished white man so throughly humilated before he is sent to a re-education camp and required to pay reparations.
