Imus has been slamming Sharpton for years. This just gave him an excuse to go looking to get Imus fired.

Yea that outburst from Imus was soooo hate filled and sooo like Michael Richards.

Pfft

and yes, imus is a jerk.

My Aunt got her Master's at Rutgers. It is NOT an "All black school". Dred's son attends Rutgers on top of it, I believe.

Imus is a Howard Stern wannabe.

Long Live Imus
Long Live Free Speech

I have to say I spit my frosted flakes all over the floor and split a gut laughing when I heard him say that. I couldnt believe it.

I'd hit that Heather chick on the team, but the rest look like they were beaten with a bag of nickles.

I heard one of the members of the team on the CBS evening news saying she felt this would "scar her for life." Anyone smell a law suit? If the opinion of one or two old men scar her for life, she has a hard road to hoe.

Long Live the forgetting of "Free Speech as long as it does not infringe on the rights of others". Imus forgot that.

Free Speech is not the same thing as appropriate speech.

I am free to tell my boss he is a complete idiot, but I should expect to be fired for it.

Anyone who thinks both kinds of speech are the same is a fool.

Really, who cares what he said? Are peoples lives so small that they have to listen to someone who they know is going to insult them. I don't give a fling about what Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson has to say, so why should anyone care about what Imus has to say? I don't and won't listen to any of them.

Just curious, cos I'm a lil confused by the news.

I know the US uses the term diapers a lot. Here we call em nappy's. Do you guys call em nappy's or diapers in day to day speech?

Just wonder cos sometimes when gaming I tell people "I'm on nappy duty" ...

Here we call them acrylic Pampers destined to outlive cockroaches (if you can believe it).

I actually remember something called a diaper service, and something called a diaper pail.

Incredibly, Bill Maher has something useful to say:

I'm sorry, but if this is the biggest problem for a black leader in this country to address day after day, then the civil rights situation is a lot better than I thought it was in America.

Perhaps someone will notice that CBS (radio), which suspended Imus for 2 weeks, indirectly owns much of the frightful rap music lyrics to which Imus's remarks pale in comparison

He's white...old...and said something deemed inappropriate by some.

IF he was black and said something along the same lines in regards to white people...he would be heralded in the community for speaking out.

Double standard PC crap....

The day Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson , Louis Ferrakan are considered to be the standard for what is right when speaking about racisim is the day I'll eat my hat. They're just as racist as anyone.

Imus is an Idiot....should not have said it...but just because he did means Al can call for his Job like some sanctamonius *** just leads to nothing more than pouring fuel on the fire.

Al , Jesse , Louis are all nothing more than mouths. Who like to pour fuel on a racist fire to fuel and to promote thier own racsist agendas.

I'm sure this post will hit a nerve or 2....

Get over it....PC suks.
