That fucking racist Imus is going back on the air |
|
I can't believe the Boston Globe said this. A much needed voice? :wtf: DON IMUS will return to the airwaves on Dec. 3, marking the end to a hypocritical media morality play and bringing a needed voice back to the radio. http://www.boston.com/ae/tv/articles/2007/11/27/keep_talking_imus/

Now I can look forward to the daily threads that say. . .
"So and so said __________________ on Imus. . ."
That will invariably be followed by a litany of responses that say. . .
"Why do you bother watching/listening to that jerk. . .?"
I've missed them so.

5. Where did I say his going back was against my freedom? |
|
I know he has the right to broadcast, but like yourself I also think he is A most detestable asshole. But nowhere in my post did I say he did not have the right.

12. "1st Amendment" as in "CONGRESS will make no law...abridging freedom of speech"? |
|
Remind again what act of Congress concerned firing Imus from his multi-million dollar radio show? Oh yeah...I forgot - Congress didn't fire Imus, CBS did!

4. Hypocritical Morality Play? Yeah, That Sounds About Right |
|
Rush Limbaugh and others have worked their asses off for 20 years to destroy advances that several minorities made. I didn't see Reverend Al making much fuss there, though.

"Needed voice"? I guess some people need misogyny and racism, but I wouldn't want to meet them...

13. I wonder if he learned his lesson--about not crossing Bush |
|
seems he lost his job mere days after endorsing impeachment--after 20 years of similar "ho" remarks.

'How to handle hecklers', with Michael Richards on Monday. Tuesday's topic 'Too many Jews or way too many Jews' with Mel Gibson. Wednesday is on location with Bill O'Really at a Harlem restaurant. Thursday is just straight up Tom Metzger and David Duke. And Friday, redemption with Al Sharpton. Like saying the Lord's prayer for Catholics, Sharpton cleanses all.
