Condoleezza Rice ain't no nappy headed ho, and this Imus business is below her pay grade, but if biff if right about how Imus continually attacked her, I say good for her.
Exactly. Forget racism. It's bad manners.
Take care of manners, and you can't (legitimately) be accused of any "isms."
Proof positive that Rice is a big government totalitarian. What a surprise.
It would have been nice if Condi had stated this line to the press in criticism of those who stated in public that they thought President Bush might be assassinated.
Not to mention that a whole bunch of nappy headed homies say worse than what Imus said regularly in widely broadcast Rap music. Then there are the statements of Louis Farakhan widely broadcast on radio about white people. I don't think the Sec State has any business censoring anyone. Is she changing her mind about a presidential run?
I dislike censorship of this kind. Next thing you know the libs will try to shut off Anne Coulter and Rush Limbaugh.
Is she glad that Rosie thinks Bush created 911?
Why only fire IMUS for outrageous statements?
The real story in all of this is the HUGE double-standard tha exists in this country. Why anyone would have to genuflect at the altar of Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson as they are somehow the moral authority on these issues baffles the mind. Sharpton and Jackson are race hustlers of the worst kind... and two of the biggest racists in the country. Did Sharpton apologize over Tywanna Brawley? Did Jackson apologize over “Hymie-town?” Hate is actually tolerated and encouraged for some. SICKENING!
Those are two different things.
Who writes these headlines, anyway?
And how many freepers will read the headlines and bash Condi without reading the article?
(Rhetorical question.........to which the answer is 'lots').
She’s entitled to her opinion, but the SoS ought to have more than enough on her plate to be getting involved with this stuff.
I’m waiting for Imus to come out with a rap album. He’s got the attitude. He’s got the words down.
You know, until she came down on the side of firing what's his name (I had never heard of him until this)... I actually thought Rice would make a better candidate than Hillary.
But if she's going to be this short sighted and issue-blind... And if she can't understand that there are in fact times when coarse language is exactly what is called for... Well, then, I have to admit I was wrong, she is the wrong woman for the job.
It’s a big disappointment that she feels that way. Let’s “be real” about this, what he said was disgusting in it’s poor taste, and most uncivil, but now that he’s been fired, that same standard has to be used with ALL offenders, or else why just fire Imus? IS THIS BASKETBALL TEAM MORE IMPORTANT THAN ANYONE ELSE? WHAT ABOUT OTHER GROUPS, NATIONALITIES AND RACES THAT HAVE BEEN INSULTED AND DEFAMED IN THE PAST AND IN THE FUTURE? IS IT STILL OKAY TO SLANDER OTHER GROUPS? IF SO, WHY?? Imus shouldn’t have been fired, particularly at the urging of those two immoral clowns Jackson and Sharpton. Go after Chris Rock’s little ass next! He’s always insulting white people in his so-called comedy routines. Why is he allowed to get away with it? All KINDS OF HELL NEEDS TO BE RAISED FROM NOW ON! ALL THESE HYPOCRITES ON THE OTHER SIDE SHOULDN’T HAVE THEIR FUN ANYMORE!! You see, as despicable as Don Imus is, and the poor taste in what he said, firing him was a mistake. The bar can’t be raised and lowered each time to accomodate political correctness. The left will attempt to go after political satire and even sarcasm from the right. The camel has gotten his nose under the tent now with Imus, so to speak. The leftist/fascists will have to be stopped on this one, if only those on the right will just grow a couple and do what has to be done.
Doesn’t she have more important things to make comments about? Seriously...
If I were in her position, there are at least a thousand other things that nobody else is saying that needs to be said.
Oh, Imus, won’t see him no more.
Condi is making a very clever and calculating move by this. Imus is a leftist and all his guests are leftist politicians. They’re privately worried about the impact of Imus’s firing on their ‘base’ which is white leftist men. They think it could lose votes for the Democrats. Condi’s piling on is a political statement that drives the point home, further weakening the left. Condi has made a brilliant move in condemning Imus. She’s helping the right.
Shut up Condi. You’ve got enough on your plate.
Course if it were made about EyeCondi he would have been cutting edge. Because it is about a basketball team he is fired. How many Aunt Jamima cartoons were done about Condi?
