What is problem with turning the dial if people don’t like what they see or hear? No one is forced to watch or listen to any of these shows.
I am offended by all liberals, should they then be forced off the air? Or should they be allowed to attract the lousy ratings they do?
This whole argument is bringing on complete censorship by a totalitarian sect.

I agree completely! As for me, the only thing i'll miss about Imus were his musical guests and Rob Bartlett. I even emailed msnbc about that but....no reply. ;o)

Good point. But if you are offended you have as much right to say you are offended as the person does to say something offensive. The irony is that people say and do offensive things then get mad when they get the response they wanted in the first place. If you are going to say something you know is offensive you should have the integrity to take it on the chin when people hit back. You asked for it. Furthermore you often don't know if something is going to offend you until you hear it. Once you do, you have a right perfect right to say how offensive it is.
