Don Imus gets fired...what BS!!!

[jkarolyi]

I agree totally with your statement, Mike, but I am talking about differing consequences of freedom of speech depending on the color of your skin.

Imus was already working a deal with Sirius and will get plenty of sponsership income. Anyone who thinks he won't is stupid.

Racists are ruining this country and I'm not talking about Don Imus.

I hope Rev Al and Rev Jackson are happy that Imus is fired. Because with him, they likely fired his whole staff. So figure, that the people that worked on his show are now out of a job because of this nonsense.

This is only the tip of the iceberg. Wait until the lawyers get involved. They inevitably will.

As long as Howard is there Imus will not be there.

I'm told that he also raised a lot of money for charities too.

That pesky double standard thing is very eloquently explained by Snoop "Whatever-The-Fuch-He-Calls-Himself-Now" right here:

See, only white guys that say bad things like this are a threat to the childrens' and teenagers' senses of self esteem. When it comes from a black rapper, it gives them something to aspire to.

What a crock.

Imus lost his job because he lost his sponsors.

And why did he lose his sponsors?

Hint: See the picture of the book on page 1 of this thread.

Sharpton and Jackson will both have time to relax on their respective beaches without that damned bat-fone interupting their well earned respite.

that looks quite entertaining, actually.. do you have a video?

What are you talking about? THAT is a video...

[Aerkuld]

At least it will give South Park some more material for a future episode.

Those snails are great. Maybe they can get their own show on CBS.

I would have probably fired him for being so freakin' stupid,

just like I would fire Sharpton and Jackson as the mouthpieces of "Black America"

That looks like the Paris Hilton Sex Video...

Al Sharpton amd Jessie Jackson are the biggest racists in the world.

i didn't know that slugs fuk...glad i checked out this thread.

The thing that upsets me the most about those two is the fact that they probably do not want progress. Jesse and Al don't want to fill the racial void. Think about it, they'd be out of a job! They don't want people to get a long and be happy. Why would the black community "need" them anymore? They thrive off these media frenzies and do nothing but draw attention to themselves in a sick sort of downward spiraling self promotion. The first response is "hmmm... should I accept CNN's CrossFire invitation or NBC's offer..." $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Jesse and Al are sitting in their big comfy homes right now keeping their fingers crossed that this sort of Imus incident is repeated at least four times a year.

What I don't understand is, if Imus is employed to talk, theoretically he has some attachment to what he says. People who say what they mean don't apologize for it. Perhaps they feel bad about the consequences of something they said, but not the words themselves. I'll just conclude Imus is a puppet like every other kunt on TV...including Al Sharpton, JJ, CBS, NBC, etc., and most of what they all say is of no importance.

You got that right. They get PAID for going on those shows so they have profited from the whole thing.

What if Imus had said something stupid about a group of Latin girls? Who would have defended them? Good thing Black American has Al and Jesse. No other group has leaders like them.

Agree totally. CBS was just deleted from my TIVO unit and any advertisers gone from my budget.

All Proctor & Gamble brands, Staples, GM, American Express, Random House, Simon & Schuster.

Good luck with that.

Funny how the execs never complained about the ratings he brought in by routinely offending anyone else. . . Friggin' hypocricy.
