The bottom line is that blacks are free to dispense whatever bile they want while whites’ free speech is drastically abridged by political correctness and, in this case, the alleged bias was misinterpreted.

Anyone believe this is what he meant by “Now we know,” especially in the context of the nightclub exchange that preceded it?

Yeah. At least two of us in the comment thread in the original post. Sounds like par for the course among the Northeast liberal set; hell, if that’s what Sharpton thinks, who are they to argue?

So its better to call every cop a racist than to actually be a racist. This is clearly covered under The Politically Correct Leftist Rules and Bylaws created by the United Guilt Ridden Leftist Media of America.

Exactly Dollayo. According to Imus Pacman Jones hasn’t been arrested 6 times because he’s a criminal scumbag, its just that all the cops are racist. Nice choice of people to defend in an attempt to more firmly secure your lips to Sharptons ass Don. Well done buddy. Very noble of you.

What the “F” are we going to do with grandpa?

Grandpa? How about great grandpa? How old is he, anyway? About 90? Looks like he’s going after George Burns’ record.

He already got slapped down once for stupid comments, whether it was right or not, he did. Now he’s making more stupid comments, of course he’s going to get beat down for the new stupid comment he just made concerning the same race. I personally could give a rat’s behind what comes out of this ignorant soul’s mouth but some people do, and more power to em’ if they’re that ridiculous.

Free speech also means you have the right not to listen to him either.

Imus was pointing out that he believes that Black people get signaled out profiled more then other ethnicities. He isn’t the first there is a list of on air folks who have made the same observation so why is Imus a racist for making the same observation? He isn’t a racist but there are people who really don’t want him Broadcasting the same people who want the Fairness Doctrine brought back.

The difference this time Phil Boyce of 77WABC talkradio knows how to protect their talent not like Les Moonves of CBS or Phil Griffen of MSNBC who insisted on Imus going on Al Sharpton and started the Apology tour back in April 2007. For whoever it is targeting Imus this is not the same situation Talk Radio knows how to protect itself ask Rush Limbaugh who went through censure letter from some in the U.S. Senate and auctioned off the letter with their signatures.

No, you just move to the other side of the street.

Salon carried Alexander’s story about the Morrison “designation” earlier in the political season, following Bill Clinton’s belittling brush-off of the Obama victory in South Carolina, as being equivalent to Jesse Jackson’s victories there in 1984 and 1988.

Morrison herself endorsed Barack Obama back in January.

In the Salon article, Alexander quoted Morrison’s words from that New Yorker piece:

“Years ago, in the middle of the Whitewater investigation, one heard the first murmurs: white skin notwithstanding, this is our first black President. Blacker than any actual black person who could ever be elected in our children’s lifetime … The always and already guilty ‘perp’ is being hunted down not by a prosecutor’s obsessive application of law but by a different kind of pursuer, one who makes new laws out of the shards of those he breaks.”

In other words, Elizabeth Alexander avered that Toni Morrison did not use the phrase as a compliment in reference to Clinton, or that he was somehow an honorary black because of his advocacy of black issues. Morrison was simply noting that, as revealed in the Lewinsky scandal, she believed Clinton was being treated as a black man might be treated under the circumstances — the “always and already guilty perp.“

Lol. Two pics of Imus above two pics of Palin. Talk about beauty and the beast.
