Can we talk about Don Imus

[fett]

or is this thread going to be gone?:ROTF: I will leave it at that.

[charvelguy]

He would have been better to refer to them as swanky mo's. I'm gonna have to rent Tapeheads again.. that movie cracked me up.

[Jack The Riffer]

Fuck Imus. He looks worse than Keith Richards.

[fett]

I used to watch him on TV and he is funny as hell. It's his producer. That bald guy that is the real culprit. But, Imus still has a brain that works. They sit around and plan all this shit. It's not spontainious (sp).

[rjohnstone]

Don Imus has been a dick since forever. So I find it interesting that anyone would be "upset" at anything that comes out of his mouth.
He bashes everyone equally.
I personally don't give a shit either way.
I've been called much worse... get over it people.

If they fire him, then every "person of color" that has a radio or TV program that bashes "whitey" needs to be fired as well.
I find a majority of what comes out of Al Sharpton's mouth offensive and to generalizing of white people.
Oh wait... I forgot about affirmative action... he needs a little slack because he's black. Hypocrite.

[fett]

That is what he does. People love to be on his show and laugh and scratch. There seems to be a bit of an overreaction in this case.

[fett]

"Imus" spelled backwards is "Sumi". Let the suits start.

[fett]

Now, I have lost all respect for Imust. Imust apologize again and again and again. Now he is just a wuss that is on the verge of losing his meal ticket. That's OK. He's rich as hell. But, that's not the point. He should stick to his guns. Money talks and Imus may walk.

[lerxstcat]

Stern was right, Imus should've just said "Fuck you, it was a joke!" Have you seen the South Park episode about the "N-Word Guys"? Imus has joined that group without even saying the word!

Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are 2 of the biggest racists on Earth....

[fett]

There are "No Jokes" when you go "There". What a sad state of affairs. Look at all the people that have come out of the woodwork on this one.:ROTF: It's all just, "How can I get on camera again?" If anyone takes Imus seriously, there is something really, really wrong.

Well, I have always said/felt that you have the right to like/dislike whoever based on any reason......whether it is color, religion, sexual preference, .etc. That is YOUR right. I also reserve the right to like/dislike whoever I want based on the same reasons. You should never have to say " I'm sorry" because you feel that way.

You don't want to like a person because they are black/yellow/red whatever.....that is your right and I will respect you for it. However, I reserve the right to drive right past you when you are broken down on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere without a phone and not offer you help because you feel that way. :P

No one should EVER be told who to like or dislike for any reason. The last a$$hole that attempted to control who people liked and disliked had a tasty little book you should read...called Mein Kompf. -Lou

[Ralph E.]

Totally ridiculous situation. He's a fuckin' shock jock comedian, everyone gets roasted on his show.

This is only an issue because it gives the REAL hate mongers like Sharpton and Jackson a platform to bitch (and make political hay).

[Jackson-Charvel]

Now they want him to apologize to each and every woman on the Rutgers team? Ironically there are girls on there that are white he is suppoosed to apologize to, I don't get it...

[Ralph E.]

We have really become a PATHETIC society.

I can watch BET and MTV and hear "ho's", "bitches", "pimps", and "n*****" all day long but GOD FORBID it slips out of your mouth once, you're strung up in the gallows for life. Even though it's constantly drilled into your brain daily. That is ok with the Sharpton and Jackson crew as long as there's $$$ being made doing it.

[Jackson-Charvel]

Just a thought, when it comes to race I don't see the ACLU siding for freedom of speech, UNLESS the victims are minorities or black. If there were offensive white remarks, would the ACLU would stand up for freedom of speech? hmmmm....

Not defending bigoted speech, but you shouldn't be allowed to pick and choose, even though they do.
