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’d take an awful lot more than that to bring Rice down to Hilliary’s level.
Secretary Rice did well. Imus deserved to be fired for his idiocy just as Amos & Andy would be fired today if they tried to air their bigoted old blackface “comedy.”
...and firing people isn’t censorship, for all of the brainiacs out there who are hopelessly confused on the subject.
Censorship is the government banning your right to utter words.
Firing is a corporations right to decide to whom they extend paychecks.
Thus, firing and censorship are two vastly different concepts.
Leave bigoted blackface behind. The whole “I’m gonna shock my audience” schtick is old, anyway.
Fire ‘em all.
So you are saying that there are in fact times when "nappy headed ho" directed at strangers unprovoked is exactly what's called for in reasonable dialogue between reasonable people?
“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.”
So it is Hillary in 2008 for you if Condi runs, for a conservative this is a very interesting thread, the man that opened your heart is called Imus.
