We still have Fred Imus.

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.

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

I wonder if Imus went hard after George Allen during the “maccacca” crap. First they came for the....

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.

So that phrase "nappy headed" came from a song by Stevie Wonder. It went something like this:

Looking back on when I was a little nappy headed boy.....

So now the words "Nappy headed" are bad words, right?

Do blacks no longer want integration?

What is this “our community crap”?

“MSNBC’s action came after a growing list of sponsors—including American Express Co., Staples Inc., Procter & Gamble Co., and General Motors Corp.—said they were pulling ads from Imus’ show for the indefinite future.”

The market working. These companies pay the bills—his salary, and the rest of the cost of producing his lowlife babble.

They no longer want their reputations associated with him or his foul mouth.

I hope this is the start of a trend away from trash-talk, profanity, etc.

What a load of crap! The PC police will put us all in jail if they had their way. Imus did a stupid thing and his life is ruined. Are we a bunch of zombies? This has got to stop or we will all be afraid that we will offend someone and lose our jobs and lifelihoods. Each one of us could be the next one to go. Imus has been calling Bush and Cheney “war criminals” for months and no one raised an eyebrow. But this puts him on a fast train to nowhere. Pure craziness. When Rosie O’Donnell comes on the “View” and defends Imus it has gone way past the point of no return. When does this end?

I’m surprised that no one has accused Imus of being a right-wing extremist—because if he’s not, he must be from the left wing. Has John Kerry come to the defense of his friend? He was always appearing on his radio show during the 2004 campaign.

Yep, Imus is a scumbag. And he is truly the 'ho' in this debacle. Politicians and reporters have used him like a 20 dollar hooker anytime they wanted to bash the Bush administration 'off the record'.

And MSNBC is the Pimp for not having the stones to yank him the day he uttered that drivel. MSNBC only canned him after Sharpton and Jackson got a fly in their panties. Who even knew Sharpton HAD a radio show?

Imus is an unfunny, nasty piece of work.

I can't believe anybody listens to him thirty five years past his prime.

"This is not a battle against one man. This is a battle against a way of thought," she said. "Don Imus does not understand the power of his words, so it is our responsibility to remind him."

Scary line of reasoning...
