Ban him please.

Dr John? That was Howard Stern, the original Stern, that imus was referring to.

Fair enough. The source I read said Kurtz. It changes nothing. It’s offensive.

Imus has gotten to think that he was invulnerable- that he could say absolutely anything he wanted and was immunized by the good things he did.

Doesn’t work that way.

Still, it’s the collective umbrage NOW that is miserably and suffocatingly hypocritical.

And I am bothered by the racism on display on this thread. I’d hoped that participants here were better than that.

This woman is so full of sh$te, her eyes are brown.
Oh, does that make me a racist?

No, but it makes you a jackass. Prove her wrong.

Otherwise, you have slandered her.

I think we can officially declare the 1st Amendment repealed.

Bull, Halley. Free speech? It was HATE speech. IF you think that should be OK, then walk up to a black woman and call her that. I dare you.

Dr John? That was Howard Stern, the original Stern, that imus was referring to.

Wow.

This is disgraceful.

Yup, sure is.

This is disgraceful.

Ifill is absolutely right. Imus has been slurring people for a long time, and I am glad she pinned some ears back. Maybe this doesn’t offend some of you without any kids, but he called my daughter a nappy headed ho I’d want to knock him on his ass.

And I would find that funny.

Maybe you also would not be offended by Imus calling Howard Kurtz a “boner nosed jewboy” but that offends me too.

It’s wrong. It’s been wrong for a long time. There is a reason I have referred to that self-righteous dope as “Anus in the morning” for many years.

THE question to ask Sissy Matthews, David Gregory, and especially John F’n Kerry is why THEY weren’t offended by this crap in the past.

Oh, does that make me a racist?

What a Massive load of BS that interview roundtable was.

You can see the same load of BS every week on MTP.

Anyone else tune-in to MSNBC this AM to see what programming would replace Imus?

In case you missed it, they had three hours of David Gregory and friends talking about Imus. Brilliant!

Anyway, she wants to know what the big deal is. If these gals got to where they are at in college sports, I guarantee you being called nappy headed ho’s is nothing compared to the criticizm they get concerning things that have a direct reflection on them personally. And that would be their performance on the court.

These gals weren’t scarred for life, but they were manipulated by the powers that be at their university to turn this into a week long recruitment stunt for Rutgers.

“Nappy headed ho’s” my a$$!! Call them a bunch of slack, lazy, ball players that don’t deserve to play against the real teams that get all the top high school players, and I guarantee you, that you’d get genuine indignation.

Every parent of every high school player in the country heard this coach talk about how much she values the trust placed in her by the parents of her players. That is a powerful statement in the world of high school and college athletics. I’d bet dollars to donuts the Rutgers athletic department gets a huge influx of recruiting videos from every corner of this country.

So spare me the fake outrage Ifill.

I didn’t imemdiately and soundly denouce Imus for what he did.

Please don’t fire me.

Really, I didn’t much care. I don’t listen to Imus, and a shock-jock saying something rude & stupid is normal. But apparently my not saying anything is racism of the nth degree, and a violation of the thought-crime based racism decrees of 2007.

Take me away for my thought crimes against humanity. Place me in a thught-crime prison… I’d like to be around people who think.

They are all freaking porch crackers.

I like to think in 10 years from now that Asia isn’t going to be deciding that she wants to get recruited for the college basketball team or be a tennis pro or go to medical school and that she’s still vulnerable to those kinds of casual slurs and insults that I got 10 years ago, and that people will say, “I didn’t know,” or people will say, “I wasn’t listening.”

A call to arms for the thought police if ever I heard one. Ms. Ifill, you have every right to be offended by offensive things. You have NO right to demand insulation from ever being offended, and certainly you have NO right to try to create a world where such offenses are made criminal, or are somehow prevented.

When a Christian speaks up and says that things like Imus, Howard Stern, South Park, or whatever are offensive because they are immoral, vulgar, or obscene, we are told to shut up and turn the dial. When you listen to Imus, if you think you aren’t going to hear offensive things you are an idiot, because you have provided the culture for his offensive nature to thrive, and screamed “First Amendment!” to back you up. Now that it is your ox being gored, it’s no longer about his freedom, it’s about your feelings, and he’s got to go.

That, or all those mean-inducing sports will have been eliminated, and athletic scholarships will be given out for playing healing sports like Earthball.

You can agree or disagree but she was called a cleaning lady as uncalled for remark

Thanks Imus for abusing your freedom of speech, to the detriment of us all. Thanks Jesse and Al for exploiting this moment in history for your own profit, further damaging free expression.

Everyone’s dirty on this one.
