Don Imus, let's hear what you think about it...
What about everyone else? Was anyone offended by it? I agree 100% w/ Patrice O'Neal, if you caught him on Hannity and Colmes

I don't really like what he said...but this is America where we all have freedom of speech, unless of course someone gets offended, then you must lose your job and die.
I feel it has been blown way out of proportion. If it wasn't for that one listener of his, we would never know about it.

he referred to the Rutger's women's basketball team as 'nappy-headed hoes' in a joking manner, and it wasn't taken too well...

The 'nappy headed' thing is just wrong. But, I always stay with freedom of speech FTW!
If you don't like what Imus has to say, join the rest of the world and don't listen to him.

Exactly.
I've actually watched Imus before on several occasions on MSNBC. He reminds me of my High School Constitutional Law teacher. He said what was on his minds all the time. He'd make fun of everyone in the class if he didn't like something about them. He made a fat kid cry one time. (The only reason he didn't rip on me very much is because I pwned his tests and essay assignments.) But, it was funny when he ripped on us. The world needs people who speak their minds. |

Exactly! The world also needs people that don't get so easily offended.

guys.. the right to free speech does NOT apply when you are representing your employer.
go get a job as a clerk in a store, tell a customer to **** off, and then tell your employer he's violating your rights when you get canned. see how far that gets you. now,.. im not saying he should be fired or anything.. its no secret that radio shows largely get their ratings from controversey.. so to say this is a suprise would be an utter joke. i think he just made a joke in poor taste, and the suspension was probably fair so cbs could show they dont agree with his words. i also think a lot of people get way too butthurt too easily in this country!

The joke was made in poor taste. The moron's JJ and the Rev. jumped all over him calling for his job. They made a bigger deal out of this over the rappers (I heard the argument on one of the programs so I'm just repeating it). It's what they do. If people like them weren't around to MAKE an issue out of it, NOBODY WOULD GIVE A ****!!!! The girls would shake their heads and say, "those crazy damn crackers!" But no, the dildo JJ and the Rev. have to get themselves attention. Did anyone see when Imus went on the Rev's show and said the words, "you people"...I can't wait for South Park to make SENSE out of all of this nonsense.
Imus is an idiot anyway, it's no surprise that he has bad humor also. It's still his radio show, and when you have your own show or are part of the show, it's all about the controversy. Last edited by ITSTOCK; 04-09-2007 at 11:20 PM. |

Why the **** would IMUS meet with them? The same thing is going to happen that did with the Rev. (you know, since that's everyones idol and all!!!). He is going to show up, they are going to be intolerant of him and his words, probably call him a dumb, mean person, and talk about "his people" not giving "their people" proper respect (and monetary dues ;) ) and it all comes right back around.
SO ****ING STUPID! |

People should have respect, but the relativism of today is absolutely ridiculous.

I look at it as being called a greasy Italian. I get it all the time and think nothing of it, so I agree with you.

If Howard would have done this he would have been canned the next day. No apologizing, no comments, no meetings. He would have been fired on the spot and made an example of.
