Here's the deal. No one told Imus the rules.

Got the cartoon from Darrell.
Maybe this would be more than a tempest in a teapot if the black community were not the ones who were the most chronic users of the words "nigger" and "ho". Just listen to your average rap crap. What a crock of shit this is. I repeat. Imus, tell these assholes to fuck off. Now I hear that Hillary "fucking Jew bastard" Rodent Clinton has weighed in.
"Don Imus’ comments about them were nothing more than small-minded bigotry and coarse sexism. They showed a disregard for basic decency and were disrespectful and degrading to African-Americans and women everywhere.”
This from a woman who is married to a man who really knows how to degrade women. Bill "You better put some ice on that" Clinton.
MSNBC has caved and fired Imus. Does anyone even watch MSNBC? If someone gets fired from a network that no one watches does it really matter?
Posted by denny at April 11, 2007 09:25 PMIf Imus get fired in a forrest of political correct LSM idiots/assholes and no one is around to hear it, does his loss of balls make a sound???
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 11, 2007 09:58 PMAmen! Rappers or maybe Chris Rock...if he had said it...nothing would have happened at all.
If you hear it enough...you begin to think it's okay and just funny. But when no one laughs with you, then you know you're not part of the club of fools.
Posted by: Mushy on April 11, 2007 10:00 PMImus didn't exactly get fired. He'll still be on WFAN radio. It's just that MSNBC will no longer broadcast the video from his show.
Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face. MSNBC has effectively cut their viewership in half.

He would've gained me as a viewer/listener had he actually grown a pair and told Sharpton/Jackson to go fuck themselves!
After this debacle, I hope he DOES get shut down for his display of another pussified American. *%#@!
Posted by: CharlieDelta on April 11, 2007 10:26 PMDoes anyone watch PMS MSNBC?
Posted by: Alan on April 12, 2007 01:10 AMMS(NoBallz)Craporation!!! Imus Rockz!
Posted by: dirtyPedro on April 12, 2007 01:40 AMUmmm...Who the fuck cares about Don Imus? I listen to Howard Stern on SIRIUS in the morning (for free). I watched Imus on pmsnbc a few times....what a colossal bore he and his "yes men" are. And that stupid "cowboy" hat...gimme a break!
Posted by: Rob Cooper on April 12, 2007 03:22 AMImus did not use the term "nigger." He used the expression "nappy-headed hos."
Which, in these politically correct times, is enough to get you in hot water. But the sad spectacle of the man apologizing to - of all people, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson, the former of which incited a deadly riot in Crown Heights and the latter of which made the crack "Hymietown," referring to New York - and having them say it wasn't enough!!! is disgusting.
Jesse Jackson, at the very least, should accept Imus's apology and STFU. Of all the people to be acting high handed about an insult...and, BTW, the one he made, way back when, was truly hateful...not part of a radio comedy routine.
Posted by: Elisson on April 12, 2007 07:26 AMDenny,
Read you often, have written a couple of times. You and your steady commenters are a breath of fresh air in the “plain old common sense” department.
A little off this topic, but definitely related to the whole double standard, Rap, “gansta” world that many of our children help to finance,, I have been sent several e mails about a young couple Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom describing their horrible murders. At first glance, I really thought this could not possibly be real. It was so horrible, I really thought it might be some white supremacy group trying to spread some of their propaganda. However, some simple web searching showed the facts to be correct. Four black gang member car jacked, and after several days of torture, mutilation and rape killed two young white college students.
There has been no national media coverage. This obviously does not fit the P C mold for any main stream media.
This was not just a black on white crime. This was gang members murdering our kids. This has had me so upset, it really made me want to drive from Colorado to Tennessee and sit in a car waiting to become a victim,,,, and then in the words of some astute modern rocker : “ let the bodies hit the floor” . Alan
Rob Cooper -
How do you listen to Stern on Sirius for free?

Posted by: GT on April 12, 2007 09:31 AMI am not an Imus fan, however he did say some stupid things. For this the great liberals cut his sack off. Now when one their own white liberals degrades Condeleeza Rice (Neil Rogers on his Miami radio talk show) in his little song about her cleaning toilets in da "White house" and shining da shoes for da man, not even the local chapter of NAACP said a word. Where were the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson? Where was Hillary? I do believe Condeleeza Rice has achieved a hell of a lot more than a Rutgers basketball player.... Again listen to any rapper or black comedian and see what they say about da black hoes and not a word said. Makes me want to puke with all the hypocrites, two faced, sit in the front row in church pieces of crap slapping down Imus. This country is getting a little to nit-picky. More is going on in the world and more important than Imus saying something stupid and who cares about some addict whore with blonde hair with fake boobs and what else she had done.. Good God can anything happen to make these dumb f***s wake up in this country? Does anyone remember there were a couple of towers in NY City? Does anyone care that even now in England they are now not going to teach anything about the holocaust because it "didn't" happen according to a certain bunch of terrorists. It will happen here soon enough and we all can walk around and beat women in the street for not wearing burkas or being doctors or teachers. If you are straight haired, nappy headed or bald ladies you will soon be 5th class citizens when the "lovely terrorists" (Nancy's new friends) take over here. Think I will head for the desert like John the Baptist did... C-ya...
Posted by: Jd on April 12, 2007 09:40 AMbullet points:
1. If advertisers want to pull there money and effectively unplug Imus, thats capitalism not censorship.
2. If there is the possiblity of a $ to be had, you will find sharpton and Jackson tripping over each other to get in front of that camera. If the $ is not there to be had you will NEVER find them. They are so very predictable.
3. Many of you are right in that Imus missed a golden opportunity to tell Sharpton to eff off. that would have been beautiful.
oh, bullet point #4
- I do like to sometimes watch "lockup" and "tucker" on msnbc.....I love "to catch a predator"
Posted by: patrick on April 12, 2007 10:27 AMthis is just another case of backward discrimination: afro's can use any words they choose, but anyone else using them is a bigot. in other words, they have privileges no one else can have.
Posted by: paul on April 12, 2007 11:49 AMLooks like we have could have a three way tie for AOTW between Jesse, "Reverned" Al, and Imushole (Because he is working so hard to please the first two).
Posted by: Darrell on April 12, 2007 12:22 PMDarrell....
You might be right about a three way tie, Honest Al & Rev`d Jackson are goldplated assholes, compared to them Imus is a rookie but kissing their asses is worth an honorable mention.
I also wonder what the F--K is the matter with people in this country who tolerate racist comments & behavior by Blacks, leftwing liberals as well as former clansmen who happen to be Senators but blow a gasket when somebody white happens to mention something which can be construed to be racist.....even if it be a clown like Imus.
Idiot behavior & comments from the leftwingers & the LSM are standard operating procedure & nothing is considered to be amiss....but let a conservative state something even if true, you would think a henious crime was committed.
Posted by: Dudley1 on April 12, 2007 02:20 PMDon't you just love it when liberals screw each other. They sure deserve everything they get.

Posted by: vetfromhell on April 12, 2007 05:19 PMBefore, I could switch back and forth between Imus-in-the-morning and C-Span. (Fox didn't, and still doesn't enter in to it as it's morning show is too infantile, like being locked into a second grade classroom). So, what can one watch now early in the morning? CNN? (for the stupid)
Well, I guess I can learn to sleep late.
Gota love America.
Howard Stern... Sexist Pig...total degrades people...makes lots of money
Imus...Helps many many children....Makes a slip of the tongue...nappy hoes gona get rich cause they have been scarred for life..what a crock of shit.
Bill...
There you go again using common sense , whats wrong with you? As I have stated ...I think Imus sucks,is too liberal,Hates Bush,hates Cheney & is boring as shit. That still does not justify the double standard in play with the Nappy haired ho`s, honest Al, Rev`n jackson ,the LSM & leftwingers everywhere .
Even our local black rapper 'MC Mumbles" agrees, says instead of watching basketball this week , hes going to watch bowling in protest for the injustice to Imus. Besides he said those bitchs really are nappie haired ho`s, what da f--k`s the big deal.
