It’s not. It’s just an excuse race baiters like Sharpton use to make an issue where one doesn’t exist. I’m just glad they didn’t ask Imus a question he could have answered with... “Oh boy....”
Writer Buncombe proves he is full of Bunc in his very first paragraph. Thanx for demonstrating your IGNORANCE from the get-go, Mr. Bunc.
Not particularly fitting to today’s standard definition, Imus was one of the original shock jocks from the ‘70s.
A typical multi-level smear from the word "Go!"Does the term "right wing cold warrior" mean anything to this guy?? That was the term for people like Ronald Reagan - until Reagan won the Cold War. After that, leftists had to cover their tracks and protest against Republicans taking the credit they deserved for winning the Cold War. So the term, "right wing cold warrior" - and even the term "right wing" - has been far less in vogue among leftists since then. After all, although leftism is still in vogue under the guise of environmentalism, open leftism is not nearly as easy to espouse after the self-destruction of the Soviet Union.
The case that Don Imus is or was a Republican, let alone a "right winger" cannot IMHO be made; I think his primary audience is RINOs and Democrats. Republicans are in the pocket of Christians, who are repelled by the broadcasting of irreverent humor.
“The right-wing US broadcasters who fill the air with invective operate way beyond the conventions of good taste.But now one of them, Don Imus, has gone too far - and paid for his loose lips with his job”
Andrew Buncombe, I pity just how utterly stupid you are.
Not even zero credibility. Is it possible to be that ignorant?
LMAO!..right wing?????..I guess he saw the light and converted just seconds before he made that remark!!! on a brighter note..it appears the authors lobotomy was successful and he'll be able to continue writing and getting paid!
Is it ignorance of who Imus really was? or just part of another Stalinist big lie.
Imus was carried locally during part of the Clinton years. I remember him reprimanding his staff to stop bashing Bill Clinton.
I still remember regular guest Tim Russert excitement that a White House insider told him that the Clinton's were going to name their new dog after his son.
Ignorance or another big lie by the left? Imus of course was a favorite haunt of America's who's who of the liberals and RINOs.
Only till Sirius or XM radio picks him up!
being a bit of a capitalist I expect the stock of both to start edging up and a 10% spike on the day of the announcement... http://finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=siri+xmsr&t=3m&l=on&z=m&q=c&p=m20%2Cv&a=m26-12-9%2Cfs%2Css%2Cp12&c=
Ya need to go learn your Irish history...
can someone please explain to me how calling two or more human beings “you people” is so d**ned offensive?<<
errr...errr...Will someone from the “Thought Police” please pick up the courtesy phone at Free Republic...we have an inquriry....
Howard Stern is a bigot? Who knew?
“I don’t think there’s any difference between the pope wearing a large hat and parading around with a smoking purse and an African painting his face white and praying to a rock.’
Except that the rock is real...
Ah, THAT Andrew Buncombe. He normally writes for the Independent as an America-hater without peer.

I don’t know enough about Don Imus to know if he was to the right or to the left. I never heard him on radio and on’t know anyone who did.
Why don’t you educate me?
???!!! Was this on satellite radio or regular radio? Did the FCC move in?
didn’t show up
They also were on CBS. Infinity pulled their show. They are now on XM.
