While I don’t condone what IMUS said, the “so called” furor, FUELED BY FOX is exactly what they wanted (to get advertisers to cancel and thus quite possibly get the show cancelled) and ONCE AGAIN they come in the back door.

Are we that moronic in America that we can’t see what this network of buffons is up to ? Not just with IMUS but with anyone and everyone who doesn’t preach and tow the Murdoch party line

I so agree with you. Anyone who watched IMUS, know’s he is such a good person, and donates so much money and TIME to worthy causes and sick kids. His show bashes everyone..everyone, no color barrier, no gender barrier, everyone. Especially he bashes the pResident bush,and cheney, who he calls war criminals. so it seems like without Imus around, no one is left to bash this putrid administration. I am not saying he is right, and I turn him off 10 times during each show, I even take offense, especially with some of his staff……but this seems like a ‘swiftboat’ style attack that just swept over the media way to fast for it now to have been planned. and I point to FAUX news..here is that link and see what ann coulter said about DARFUR..and did not make waves. Well, I did manage to send it to Olberman, MSNBC, several websites..etc http://mirroronamerica.blogspot.com/2007/04/ann-coulter-makes-fun-of-darfur.html

I absolutely agree with you. My God who gets bashed more on that show then BIll and Hillary. He dumps on everyone, thats the beauty of it. My nephew was lucky enough to do an internship with Imus and the entire time he was there Imus referred to him as the “fat intern”. You take it in the manner it is meant.

I neither like nor dislike Imus – in fact I don’t have time to waste watching/listening to him or others of his ilk – from what I understand he makes his living by making fun of people (you know, sometimes you’ve just got think “this is such a great nation”) – now – I’m not sure what being “nappy-headed” means – but sometimes you need to take the speaker into consideration …. so the guy is a loud-mouthed jagoff – well – that’s how he makes his living.

I’ll admit to snickering a bit while Jesse Jacksons comments on what Imus had to say – consumed by his outrage and enraptured by the sound of his own voice he apparently forgot the time he refered to New York as “hymietown” – and he’s an ordained minister – not a “shock jock” –

Guess it comes down to the old “let he who is without sin throw the first stone” – being a minister I’d presume that Jesse would have a working knowledge of the book from which that comes (the Bible) -

Plus – anybody recall “freedom of speech”?? Or does that only stand when it’s speech that offends no one and raises no controversy – if that’s the case – then it’s no longer free.

Truth 101 is so correct, but it never occured to me. This whole entire fiasco could well be organized by Fox. The payoff is clear: it takes down the highest ratings of MSNBC, and MSNBC had just caused CNN to fire their morning lineup to compete with Imus; Fox certainly does not care about minorities or they could never back Bush; by taking Imus off the air they have harmed African Americans because Imus works raising millions to help sick children-half of them black! He and his wife take sick black children into their own home. Would a true racist do that?
