Imus under fire after on-air racial slur

[shawn55576]

The reason why this gets on my nerves is he went out of his way to offend student athletes. I mean these are 18-21 year old girls who have done nothing wrong yet the majority of you guys seem to be alright with it. I just don't get it.

I admit that what he said was stupid, but i do not see any reason to be fired for it.

I disagree with Rush and Michael Savage say most of the time but understand they have the freedom of speech to say what they so desire.

If you disagree with what he said, just don't watch.

I also think this story is gaining more traction because cnn is running it non stop, perhaps because they just fired their morning team because imus's ratings are catching up with them.

I don't listen to him. I actually didn't even know who he was until this came out.

Al Sharpton is an idiot.. Same old bullshit..

White people "can't" say anything even remotely offensive regarding blacks but blacks are allowed to say anything they want about whites..

I don't listen to him. I actually didn't even know who he was until this came out.

That explains a lot about why you were offended. This is him-he's always been "a little" crazy.

The Imus show has been racist for years. This is nothing new.

Al Sharpton has been an attention whore for years too.

They need each other.

People who babble on about "free speech" are missing the point: such speech very often has restrictions, like the one that says you can't go yelling-"fire"-in-a-crowd deal. One of the most obvious restrictions people who are in prominent and lucrative positions know perfectly well that expressing themselves in a certain manner sometimes has a price, and that price is often their jobs. You guys can bitch and moan about "PC" times and pine for the "good 'ole days" all you want, but I'm sure Al Campanis, Jimmy the Greek,
Steve Lyons, that pumpkin headed doper Limberger, and, for you "forgetful" folks who whine that blacks never get punished for inappropriate remarks,
Tim Hardaway, all wondered what all the fuss was about-after they got kicked to the curb...

i have read all this posts in this thread. Im a black guy and i think Al Sharpton is an idiot and an attention whore. I dont care what color u are if u dont see that u are blind. Second the rascim people are yrying to draw from this is the nappy headed part. Ive been in the military and around a whole lot of white people i have never heard nappy headed referred to anyone but blacks. Now let me say he should not be fire because he has said negative thing about anyone he doesnt like if u dont like it dont listen. Also all u freedom of speech boneheads. Have any of you actually read the constitution probably not. Freedom of Speech doesnt mean you can say anything out your mouth. There is also a freedom of Press which doesnt mean u can write anything you want about people. Go back and actually read the constitution cause if freedom of speech is that clean cut i will make sure i will fly with yall next time and yeah alqueda and bomb.

[JakeT.]

Guy won't be fired. Shouldn't have said "nappy headed hos" but he apologized. Time to move on... that means you Al.

 

[billhill999]

Rev. Al will have Imus on his radio show today.
He's publicly ranting 'fire Imus'
Privately he knows nothing should and won't happen, but the attention whore will scream bloody murder, because he's, well, an attention whore.

I-Man should call him out on his show today and ask fat Al, "where exactly do you preach, reverend"

Maybe ask him about the Brawley case.

Sharpton will also being singing his latest hit song about Barack Obama

[ILMW]

99.9 percent of them ho's would kick the shit out of Imus.

 

[gtc08]

i kind of like this imus getting put in his place. maybe if it was some adult who did something wrong id be more forgiving, but not female student athletes.

 

[teazeman]

Imus is at best a washed up, phlem hacking doper that will now be forced to kiss ass for the remainder of his days in order to hang on to what he thought was an enlightend act. He'll become accustomed to the taste of dick as he's sure to suck jesse and reverand al in order to remain on the air, justice imo.
