Fine. It would be better to point this out than to claim he is not African American or that his middle name is Hussein.

Just as I said. The Imus thing was to prepare our mush-minds for the big onslaught. They had their sights on Rush, Savage, and the others from the start. They were just waiting for their opportunity.
Just watch. Rush or Savage will say something slightly wrong, and the hyenas will rush in to tear them apart.

Well, I don't know about you, but until muslims condemn their radical brethren, I will never vote for a anyone associated with that religion. Boy, I’m sure the PC police will be sending me to a re-education camp soon. Thank God for the 2nd amendment.

What’s that got to do with Barack Obama? Last I read, he was a Christian.

Do you hold the same views about Christians who shoot abortionists?

I don’t know where to start- first, Imus never said “Jigaboos”- that was the other guy, and only in referring to a Spike Lee “joint”.
Second, I think TN is as dark, or white, of a team as is Rutgers.

I saw an article that had a quote from Imus about “jigaboos and wannabees”. Maybe the other guy said it first, or maybe the article got it wrong.

Is there anything in the article about URBAN RADIO STATIONS that play hip hop rap crap???

Probably NOT!!

The lyrics of the songs played on those stations make these examples so much pablum!!

I have found an article that clearly says the other guy said the remark, as you have noted.

I also have a news article on file that attributed the quote to Imus — and I’m now convinced that article was wrong. Not surprising, papers get things wrong all the time.

I’m glad that when I quoted Imus for my weekly column, I did not use that quote. The quotes I used were from a partial transcript that matches the transcripts I found looking tonight.

I double-checked to be certain, because if my quotes were wrong in my article I would issue an apology and a correction in next week’s column.

So I thank you for the head’s up, it might have saved me if I had used that quote.

Blah, blah, blah.

I happen to agree with a previous poster that Barack hasn’t put forth an agenda. But linking him to Muslims, as you did, is just stupid. He isn’t a Muslim. He has condemned Hezbollah.

Oh, yeah! I forgot. I don’t read.

This is just one more step toward liberals pushing the fairness doctrine. I bet it will be be proposed within the next week.

I love to read stupid statements by you. Trust who you wish, but I will never trust a liberal.
