Default Imus.

Be interested to hear opinions on this "story" for those familiar....

But...also..I'd like to ask: Why is some radio guy saying something dumb and offensive a 3 day headline news story?

That's my opinion, too. Much ado about nothing.

I think they should just leave the guy alone. He did nothing wrong. It's his radio show, he can say what he wants.



Al Sharpton, kiss my....

To play the advocate of the devil....

Imus makes a completely sexist, racist comment. Sharpton calls him on it. And your distatse in this situation is towards Sharpton?

Nappy-headed hoes. A joke for christ's sake! Tell me where the racist part in that is. Please.


I guess you only see it because they are black. Right? That makes you racist.

I can guarentee you this 100%: If the team was majority white, nobody would give a damn. Nobody.


And Sharpton, Jackson, and all of their cronies are all racists. Every single one.

My distaste is that Sharpton won't let it go. In this case as in other cases, he refuses to accept any apology and keeps pushing for some external action.

What ever happened to allowing someone to apologize for a mistake?

Why do people have to get fired for making a mistake?

That is my issue with Sharpton He does not care about the Rutgers people, he has a political agenda and he will use any excuse to further HIS agenda.

Imus is an entertainer. Nothing more and nothing less. Why would anyone take anything he says so seriously? Is anyone seriously considering him a role model??

People like Imus need to be ignored.
