You think maybe he has earned an honorary spot in the Dumbest Damned Thing I Ever Did thread? 1981, San Francisco, Hotel Canturberry, Hotel bar; Phil Foreman, Don Fithian, Don Imus, and Fred Imus, sat at the bar and got smashed on Anchor Steam beer.

If Imus caused so much fury over the words, "nappy headed ho's" then Al Sharpton ought to be after guys like Chris Rock and Dave Chapelle with a shotgun! It just goes to the old double standard. White guy says it and the world stops spinning. A million black guys say it and noone notices a thing! Racism, I tell you! It's racism!!! Don Imus ought to sue Sharpton and all the others for discrimination.

I've changed my mind, I hope they fire the sumbitch! It's absilutely rediculous the way the man has cowered and crawled before those who've made such a circus out of stupid phrase, such as "nappy headed ho's". The Rev. Al Sharpton had him on his talk show. Did Don Imus go on the offensive and attack the double standard? Did he point out that the Rev. Al is one of the most racist sumbitches around and that he regularly makes disparaging remarks against the caucasian and the jew? Did he point out that another of his most vocal critics, the Rev. Jesse Jackson also regularly uses racial remarks about the caucasians and jews? Did he point out that he is an entertainer, no different than any other entertainer on the airwaves, but that black entertainers use racial slurs in their work daily without raising an eyebrow? NO HE DIDN'T!!!! Rather than actively fight the stupidity of their allegations, he's been crawling around apologizing and asking for forgivesness because, "I'm not a bad person." I've lost any respect I had for him now. He deserves no better than he gets if he's too damn weak to fight!

Have any of you ever pondered the notion of taking our Country back? No really? I mean dont you think "We the People" have let the Liberals and all their pet charges screw with the American way of life long enough?

Take our country back? You mean play cowboys and censored s?
Okay, that's a little harsh, but here's my thoughts on it. Eventually, our society is going to break down. I pray that it doesn't happen in my lifetime, but it's gonna be ugly.
The middle class is collapsing. "The rich are getting richer, the poor are getting poorer", sound familiar? I've heard it for years.
Our liberal politicians are proposing some of the biggest tax hikes in history and even our GOP front runners are admitting that, "numerous tax cuts implemented by the Bush administration will have to be sacrificed. (Mitt Romney)"
The minorities, especially the illegal aliens residing here, continue to drain the welfare system and are bankrupting government funded health care. In order to keep those programs, the middle class has to provide the funding through additional tax money.
Why the middle class? Because the politicians have already passed tax exemptions for the elite rich and the supposed poor and the illegals contribute NOTHING! Who else is gonna pay it?
So, the middle class gets smaller and smaller and eventually the government handouts are going to cease to exist and the generations raised on handouts are going to take to the streets. When they do, it'll be complete pandemonium and every man woman and child will be a perfect victim because our thoughtful legislators are wanting to remove weapons from all but the criminal population.
The first demographic to erupt into violence? So called, African Americans. They're being led to it by Sharpton, Jackson, and others of that ilk. They're a violent race and will get out of hand really fast if they begin to lose their handouts. They've learned a long time ago that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. They're squeaking loud and clear right now.
Yep, it's doom and gloom on the horizon if someone doesn't take a stand real soon, kind of like Don Imus isn't doing. Eventually were going to be forced to dust off the six-shooters and play a round of cowboys and censored s!

Speaking of "nappy headed hoes," I have a musing question...now I'm the first to admit that my fluency in the Italian language is a bit lacking. But I am fairly fluent in Spanish. Since the two languages differ only slightly in spelling...most of the difference is in accentuation of the word. In Spanish, for instance, the word "peloso" means "hirsute." So the point I'm getting at is...does "Pelosi" mean the same thing in Italian? If so, can we assume that Nancy is one of those people who don't shave the pits? ;D ;D ;D Picture this...Nancy Pelosi...sleeveless blouse....brillo pad under each arm....YUCK! See Paws, I'm just as sick as you and Toby! -Rogue-

OH man, you the leader of the pack! Whilst away on a National Guard junket to Hawaii I was walking down the beach with several comrades when one named Bob decided to visit and chat up a couple young lovlies sun bathing there. He says to them, "You aren't American are you?" "How did you know?" Came back a response with a heavy Brit accent. Bob reached out and quicker than a flea farts reached under her arm pit and grabbed a pinch of scruff while shouting, "Because of this nasty crap!" Then he ran away quicker than the Ever Ready bunny leaving me standing there with my mouth hanging open.

MSNBC gave Imus the boot! Now how am I going to know it's time to get up? Seriously though, this stinks! Just because he happens to be a rich white man he is not entitled to say a joke or two in public that the rich black man, rich white Lesbian, rich black gendercurious, or poor black any sex preference citizen says every day and all day long. This crap is worse than a double standard it amounts to selective censorship encouraged by the freakin' liberals who are liberal and tolerant of everything except what a conservative might happen to think or do. This kind of stuff is going to evolve into a war similar to what is being experienced in Israel, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Ireland. If the world stands long enough.

Arm pit scruff? No problem, make her keep her shirt on, dat ain't de parts I'm interested in no how! Imus..... I give up on the guy! If he can't stand up for himself, then why should I let it bother me if his career flushes down the toilette? I never have been a regular listener, but I had the impression that he was the kind ofguy who wouldn't get pushed around too easy. Conservative, intelligent, and willing to make a stand. Now when he's under fire, he folds up like moist toilette paper. What a shame!

Well, personsaly I don't like Imus. I gave up watching him on groundhog day last year when he stated that using a groundhog for such should be considered inhumane and the handlers charged with animal cruelty. However, the ones that should be removed from TV appearances are the nappy headed ho's from rutgers. They may be educated nappy headed ho's but so what. Racism is not illegal or immoral.Everbody is racist to an extent. I seriously doubt those ho's were offended and I'm sure they have called each other worse and said more offensive things to opposing team members or about them.

This is a violation of Imus 1st amendment rights for sure....He isnt called "The Shcok Jock " for nothing.....This kind of comedy has been around for years.....He did appologize explaining it was done in a comedic manner.........That should have been enough....The following is in my opinion only and explains why I think its all a crock of shiet just to get at a white personnality.....People like Howard Stern get 500 million a year to berate bitches and Ho's both black and white, everything out of Whoopi Goldberg, Martin Lawrence and Spike Lee is a racist remark of some sort.....Black Entertainment network is very racially motivated in their programing, rap artists and black comedians do the same.....The TV show "In Living Color" was a major player in comedic racist bantor.Al Sharpton of all people who tried to promote a rape of a young black girl ,blaming it on whites , while looking stupid when he lost the case......I could probably go on and on the racially motivated material theyre using.....One of the biggest issue today is some black leaders are trying to get the "N" word out of the language of their peers......It aint working and doesnt that show dissrespect??? I think it does.....Rosie O'Donnell cant keep her stupid mouth shut while demeaning everyone whos not a liberal or gay is one of the biggest players in this deal.....Why dont they dump her???..... ....

Yep, the boy's fired from CBS. If he'd only have stood up and fought back, he could have turned this into a giant media circus and his rating would have gone off the charts! The general conservative demographic he's broadcasting too is about fed up with the racial double standard and he could have cashed in big time. Oh well, he chose the spineless route and now he gets his just rewards.

Imus is a whole lot like Playboy magazine; so many folk watched him for the articles not the pictures! His interviews with personalities were pretty much empty but always gave a little insight into a piece of their private lives telling me more about them than a dozen "searching media interviews". I'm a bit concerned for his ranch too. A lot of kids, some nappy headed ones too, are not going to have a smile on their faces during what might be their last days I'm afraid. Koot, for the first time I think I totally agree with you. This divisive horse crap has got to stop somehow.

This whole thing burns my arse.....Now we hear that the Rutgers Girls accepted his appology.....So what does that do for him, besides being on the air for many years using a non scripted dialogue, how he was able to continue this long....I think he had a total of 4 hours a day.....I dont think I could have talked rationally for 4 hours, let alone 1.......He was also very respected for his donating time to better hid fellow man, and I believe very philanthropic too....Your right Phil, alot of kids may be very saddened by this .....So Ifeel his good points definately out weigh his bad and he should be given a chance to return.....

You know the msore I hear about this the more it sounds like he was difficult to deal with for management and peers and this may have been the opportunity they have been looking for to cure the problem.
