I don’t give a damn about Imus but free speech is everything. Another example of the tyranny of the minority destroying a professional for a misstep. It is clear that the constitution gives certain citizens more equal protection under the law than others. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have a history of anti-white, antisemitic racial and religious slurs yet have complete immunity from libel. I guess certain “hate” is protected speech and other “hate” is criminal. More evidence that certain “minorities” greatest power is derived by remaining “victimized” and/or being perpetual under dogs. Can one be less than but equal? We are losing our republic. Pathetic.

I agree. As I posted on another thread, I find myself in the uncomfortable and unfamiliar position of agreeing with Howard Stern and Rosie O’Donnell. Imus and his corporate masters are cowards, pure and simple.

“I don’t give a damn about Imus but free speech is everything”

Imus still has free speech rights, but what I see this case as an example of is a feeding frenzy which has taken on a life of its own against someone the left would probably have just as much preferred to leave alone. If you are a white public person and you say something like this, unless you are *very* well connected (as in being a member of congress) and a democrat, your career is toast.

"I don’t give a damn about Imus but free speech is everything."

Free speech originally pertained to political speech, not to all speech, as set up by our founding fathers.
