I caught part of the Sharpton/Imus on the news. Sharpton was hiding behind his daughter.
correction:
"You know you, lots of these conservative talk show hosts always say racist things.”
Because that was before all DUKE LAX charges were dropped. It was just bad timing. If the Duke charges had been dropped by the time of his interview with Sharpton, he would have said these things to Sharpton's face.
The link below will take you to a picture of the druggie ho that the two black Raci$ts, Rev Un$harpton and Je$$e HyJack$on lied about to make headlines and bucks for Je$$e and $harpton.

I just wonder which ones in particular he's talking about?
If you want to show why conservative’s always wonder why we are tagged “racists”, you’ll have to come up with better reasons. Because the example you gave is like comparing apples to oranges.

Al’s trying to “Jew them down” again (his words, not mine).
LOL
Imus has just found out that liberal leftists are just like Muslims. When there is no enemy to attack that is outside their clique, they waste no time going after their own.
Last year, a Chicago Cubs coach made it clear. He could say things, becasue he was black, that others, who are white, cannot say. Snoop Dog basically said the same thing yesterday.
Many white people fear saying this now, but I don’t. This whole deal is exactly that. Black people can say and do one set of things and white people must do another. Martin Luther King Jr. would be so proud of these people today huh? THERE is the real disgrace showing clearly today.
If only people would admit it.
Check out how advertisers made moves on this. Notice how they DIDN’T move when Rosie blamed 9-11 on our own people and government. I can tkake nothing from that but that those very advertisers agree with that position. How could I see it any other way? Let’s not forget the ‘ching chong’ thing. No Advertisers went running scared then either.
ED Hill just asked the question “Does Freedom of Speech depend on the color of your skin?”. Apparently the answer is yes with a disclaimer to that being gender, sexual and political orientation. Be gay, super far left or black and you can say and do anything you want without retribution.
Be white, straight and not so left (heaven forbid you be to the right) and you cannot say the very things those on the left, or gay, or non white people say all the time without losing your job or paying some other such heavy price.
Enough is enough with this clearly RACIST ‘policy’. You bet, I said it, RACIST against white people!!!!!!
Last year, Sharpton on O’Reilly:

This whole story has taken on such vast proportions - jobs lost, lives “scarred for life” (one of the players made this statement to the press, naturally), Sharpton making the threat that more of the same will be coming - that one must begin to wonder if the Lefties have not had some hand in it somehow. You have to give the Lefties credit. They do have their ways of thinking ahead to the How-to’s, and they’ll do ANYTHING to win the Presidency. Even destroy Imus because they think he’s expendable. They use whatever they can, whoever it hurts, whatever it is, to get where they want to go. Only this time, they’re beginning to point that gun right at their very own feet. Just a thought. But wait. Just wait. I predict that Imus will come back a whole lot bigger than he was before all this happened. Remember, there is no “bad” publicity, just publicity.
And while we're on the subject of up is down, Mr. Sharpton, put this in your pipe and smoke it:
[British Prime Minister Tony] Blair said: "Economic inequality is a factor and we should deal with that, but I don't think it's the thing that is producing the most violent expression of this social alienation."I think that is to do with the fact that particular youngsters are being brought up in a setting that has no rules, no discipline, no proper framework around them."
Some people working with children knew at the age of five whether they were going to be in "real trouble" later, he said.
Mr Blair is known to believe the tendency for many black boys to be raised in families without a father leads to a lack of appropriate role models.
He said: "We need to stop thinking of this as a society that has gone wrong - it has not - but of specific groups that for specific reasons have gone outside of the proper lines of respect and good conduct towards others and need by specific measures to be brought back into the fold." -- The Guardian, April 12, 2007
Being a liberal means you don’t ever have to apologize. Sharpton is the leader and we are simply the masses. Surely we’ve learned that by now.
Imus always reserved his harshest criticism for conservatives, evangelicals, Catholics, and true Republicans. He always sucked up to the liberals like Biden, Dodd, Kerry, Russert, Gregory, Andrea Mitchell, Goodwin, Ford, etc.
Isn’t it ironic that the right is pretty silent on this issue, while his buddy liberals dig the knife deeper every day?
Nor should he. Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson are encouraging racist blackmail – it is their bread and butter. The Tawana Brawley creator, the Rev. Al Sharpton, is placing himself as judge and jury when his past and present activities are little more than a shake down. The Rev. Jessie Jackson is the King of shake down , take no prisoners type of blackmail. Both men are far more guilty of racist slurs than Imus ever was.
It is sickening to watch the media wallow in this cess pool of racism ignoring real issues and real problems go wanting all because of a stupid remark made by a known shock jock. - that or Anna N. Smith……………….Ohoooooooooooooooo.
My God, a newbie nails a tag line! I may swoon; there is hope for the [Free] Republic yet. Good job, newb!
If this had happened to a decent human being it would be tragic. Luckily, it only happened to Imus. I’m only surprised he hasn't ’t run to rehab claiming he relapsed.
