Imus wasnt fired for what he said, fired cause workers at station didnt want the association with

[sam sarrha]

his Moranity and because the advertisers pulled their ads cause they didn't want to be associated with his attitudes

1. 4 hours per day,5 days per week, 48 or so weeks a year....

25 or so years.....24000 hours.... and he said some things that offended some people.

3. He's been saying offensive things 5 days a week, 48 weeks a year

30 years, blah, blah, blah. He got busted...again and fired this time because he went after the wrong people, college women playing basketball who were not politicians, political pundits and entertainers.

4. So we've noticed. He's said lots of stuff that has offended lots of people.

Now, I can think of some others who deserve to be similarly chastised.

[Richard Steele]

5. And spreading hate and racist crap all the while....

6. Three hours a day. Watch 60 minutes - interview from 10 years ago.

And then judge who he is and whether he changed.

And then listen to him tell you how good a person he is.

No decency, no discipline, no discretion. All more important than free speech.

Informal poll:
Why did he keep on doing it and abusing NBC employees?

Because he could?
Because NBC allowed it?
Because he's a bigot?

Has he apologized to the employees yet. Maybe he's working on it.

7. Difference between Imus and Stern ...

I get the gist that the difference between Imus and Stern is how mean one is vs. the other.

I get the sense the Stern's sole aim is to shock. Imus' aim is to humiliate and then grind it in.

In any case, it was interesting to hear Insanity Hannity talk about the liberals "assault on free speech". He was talking about a liberal Cabal to remove conservatives from the airwaves.

8. I love it when they praise free speech plus unlimited surveillance,

spying, data mining, a database with everything in it - obtained from telephone companies who got paid for their 'service' and probably from all those convenient theft of critically personal data.

2. Ok, works for me.
