Edited on Wed Apr-11-07 05:28 PM by malaise
MSNBC will no longer simulcast The Imus Radio Program. Advertisers have pulled out.

5. Who's next on the list....
I vote for Bill-O -- he's pretty much almost lost it totally anyway. I don't feel like it'll take much to set that psychopath off. :evilgrin:

7. Good idea - what about Michael Savage?
I don't think we can go after Oreally and Limbaugh yet, they are too big. But maybe Michael Savage?

12. Actually, I think the Imus issue
will be the only blood-letting and the rnc tools like rush and savage will cop a pass.

9. Yep.
I don't think MSNBC had any choice. Imus is being held responsible for his actions.

18. Much as I was habitually watching this train wreck every AM for a very long time,
Edited on Wed Apr-11-07 06:04 PM by PCIntern

I'm reasonably happy to see this occur.

Watching those remarkable women yesterday, this is a fitting punishment long overdue.

When I heard him, a few weeks ago, state that he'd been upstairs to see those 'money grubbing, beanie-wearing Jews" or words to that effect, I knew that he was on the thinnest of thin ice.

Good...and the hell with that other prick Bernard. They should bury him in Fed-Ex Boxes...that piece he did on Cardinal Egan was horribly blasphemous and offensive to me personally...and I'm Jewish for crying out loud. And I have a revoltingly perverse sensayuma at times, but this was all way over the line.

20. Vivian Stringer the Rutgers coach
is making profound comments on MSNBC right now. She has made the connection to taking back America and treating people with dignity. Hate radio is about to be buried as the center has power re advertisements.

22. Yep quite profound
outrage re this insult to a sports team has brought out hundreds of thousands of emails to both MSNBC and the advertisers. It means people are outraged and are glad to express their feelings re this Bushco culture of hate. This is the most important part of this entire Imus story.
