Of course they defend racists who are not considered “right wingers.”

“Government regulated broadcasting.” How’s that for a chill wind?

O’Riley brought up the same points last night regarding rappers. I hope the media keeps pounding that point....not that it will change anything.

So, he’s saying it’s OK for young black ‘artists’ that get paid for it?

Of course they defend racists who are not considered “right wingers.” Bingo! He's a liberal rump swab and they protected him for years. If somebody like Rush had said these things they would be leading the posse to lynch him. The hypocrisy is nauseating.

Democratic Underground is calling Imus a “right wing Republican.”To them, anyone to the right of Pol Pot is a "right-wing Republican."

from Drudge:
IMUS: 'WHEN WILL SHARPTON APOLOGIZE TO DUKE PLAYERS'?Thu Apr 12 2007 10:02:02 ET
Patrick Gavin with FISHBOWLDC reports on Imus's radio show this am...
Barely 12 hours after being fired from MSNBC...
6:12 AM: On Imus' radio program (no longer simulcast on MSNBC) this morning,
Chris Carlin, who covers sports for the program, discussed yesterday's dismissal of charges against the Duke lacrosse players.
(rough transcript)
DON IMUS: When will Al Sharpton be apologizing to them?
(LAUGHTER)
CARLIN: I'm unaware of such a press conference.
IMUS: I'll be darned...

Rappers will keep it up. If Sharpton was serious about racism
and sexism he would be calling for BET to be shut down.
To: governsleastgovernsbest
It was Al Rokker that did Imus in on NBC.
As for me, I just decided to never watch one more thing on NBC or MSNBC; join me?

SHARPTON: The music industry heads, many of whom have nothing to do with the black community but make the profits from this.
so it’s the white guys fault??

Here’s how Imus gets out of this:
Simply go on the air and read the lyrics to some rap songs with pleasant music in the background. Heck, bleep out the curse words. Just as effective.

BTW, I saw this NBC guy on cable last night; he could barely look into the camera; he knows he’s been had.
