BOSTON Senator John Kerry gets behind radio and T-V personality Don Imus, saying he should NOT have been fired for making racially insensitive remarks.
Kerry also says he'd be willing to go on Imus' show again as long as it wasn't (quote) "the same-old, same-old."
In an interview with New York television station New-York-1, the Democrat says the punishment has to fit the crime, and that Imus should have instead faced a long suspension.
Imus was fired last week for calling the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on his radio and T-V program.
Kerry pointed to the decision by members of the team to accept an apology from the shock jock.
The 2004 Democratic nominee for president was a frequent guest on Imus' show.
This is a mutilation of the Bill of rights. Imus, as racist as the comment might have been has the right to say whatever, within reason, he wants to say. Since when is it okay for blacks to call whites “crackers”, yet we get all worked up over “nappy-headed hos”. What happened to the blacks during the slave labor era in America was horrible, yes, but it blacks need to stop using it as an excuse to say whatever they want against whites.
Geez, that’s funny!
Is this the same John Kerry that served in Viet Nam?
Kerry probably is thinking that Imus might make a comeback and with the media focus finally off the guy, he is safe in saying this.
LOL! Perfect for this thread!
I win again huh? Guess I get a big WOO HOO!
Have noticed that global warming has reversed course....now that Imus is HISTORY....
Mighty nappy of Kerry. A day late and a dollar short.
Hmm.. Conveniently late for Kerry to chime in now long after Imus was attacked by Sharpton et al and then fired. Where was JohnBoy when Sharton and Jackson were on a frontal assault (maybe once again picking rice grains out of his posterior?).
No, you have the wrong John Kerry. The one I am aware of didn’t “serve”. He just “dropped in” to Viet Nam thinking it would be like John Wayne in the movies but quickly found that real bad, serious and deadly dangerous stuff was going on. So, he faked and falsified a heroic record in a magnificent 7 weeks and departed. He is total garbage. Phonies are always high profile scorekeepers and not low profile true grit players. BTW, where the hell is this phoney’s Form 180? He has a lot to hide....piece of garbage
Notice he makes a public statement a week after its all gone down?
Nice one Lurch. I’m sure Imus actually believed politicians like Kerry would come to his rescue.
Libs shoot themselves in the foot again. They just lost one of their biggest propaganda outlets.
the democraps shot themselves in the foot.
imess had more liberals on than rino’s.
Just never saw the fickle finger of fate...pushing Johan F. Carry out of the frame before.....
Thx!!
Well he was againt Imus before he was for Imus so it somehow makes sense -— in leftyland.
Lol, mine is pretty old too. I especially like the final “E.T.” moment.
Thanks.
Kerry misses the only person nutty enough to want his company.
