Stupid White Men: Don Imus' Racial Trash

(1/8) > >>

Phillip Dampier:
Don Imus.  By now, we all know what he said and MSNBC and CBS Radio have given him a two week vacation for saying it.  But is that penalty enough for the decrepit stable mate, the boneheaded buckaroo with the cowboy hat living in Connecticut, forever stuck in the past of his shock jock days.  Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson want him fired, but with their past, are they any better?  And what about the comments of El Rushbo about Michael J. Fox "faking" his Parkinson's symptoms, Ann Coulter for attacking gay people, 9/11 widows, anyone to the left of Attila the Hun, or "Dr." Michael Savage, who has used every ethnic slur in the book, especially if he thinks they are crossing the border into the United States.

Wishes:
I say give him the two weeks. Then let people decide if they want to watch/listen him or not. I certainly never have.

I agree with your post. Many terrible and wrong things get said. Both in the media by the well known and on more personal levels. People should be held accountable for their words if they have said something offensive or plain wrong. I'm just not sure how long this should go on. And lets face it, that stupid Rush and mean, mean Savage stay on the air. I guess some people want to listen to their hate.

David In Indy:
Don Imus needs to get his ass fired (pardon my language). What he said was racist and biggoted; border line hate speech in my opinion. It doesn't matter whether such speech targets gay people, African Americans, Native Americans, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, ect.  What he said was rude, disgusting, hurtful and hateful.

The days of trashing people on the radio and television are coming to an end; THANK GOD. Don Imus probably knew better and he chose to say it anyway. And if he didn't know better, then he's too stupid to speak publicly on the American airwaves.

Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh need to have their asses fired too.  >:(  >:(

isabelle:
OK, foreigner here: what did those people say, please?  Sounds bad anyhow???

Cameron:
I hate what he said, absolutely hated it.  He never, ever should have said such an ugly thing about those wonderful and amazing young women.

But somehow it sorta bothers me for people to get fired for saying stupid things.  Even as stupid and horrible and as revolting as that.

I don't know, what if people start getting fired for speaking out against important things, like war and prejudice and injustice?

Where does it end?

Even though I detest things he and others (Ann Coulter, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc.) say sometimes much of the time.
