I find it completely outrageous that the Liberals who have supported and coddled Don Imus all these years-HE WAS ON CBS RADIO-duh! Now they want to either say what he did was not worth getting fired over or that he is a conservative. GROW UP and grow some !@^$@#s.
The man should have been off the radio years ago as Wanda Sykes put it this week, 'I thought he was off years ago, I didn't know he was still on.' And it's true the man shouldn't have been on the air this long, I don't care about other shock jocks, he is a shock jock who is made of racism, bigotry, and sexism. He is the worst kind of liberal-one who believes that because he advocates welfare and gives money to 'nice' liberal groups that he can say whatever he wants and it doesn't matter.
His whole show was about degrading people of importance in our society-the most righteous liberal who tears everything up and leaves nothing sacred behind. More importantly, his behavior shows that he is not sorry, he attacked Al Sharpton and it's true neither Sharpton or Jesse Jackson can say they have never practiced hate speech because they have-the whole situation had the effect of being a laundry clearing house for people who are hypocrites or just racist.
He's a relic, I listened to his show once in 2004 on election day thinking it must be really important and was sadly dissappointed. I saw just an old man with a haggard face and frame of a drug addict that seemed more cantakarous than entertaining to my ears. Really, I had no idea why he was on TV. (See his 2005 interview in Vanity Fair for a history of his drug abuse, also Vanity Fair only profiles people they flaunt as liberal fans for their values.)
It's just a fact that many liberals are racist themselves in that they assume everyone is a racist jerk or worse yet that because they have some friends who are not white or because they lib women's rights that they can talk in the same way that encourages the behaviors they say the oppose.
IN fact, CNN aired a segment today saying that Don Imus will be carried on one station only in San Bernardino for the LA market-get it? Crass and liberal people, which is what I generally encountered in Hollywood as a menacing undertone to all the openness. Think Paris Hilton using the n-word and you begin to understand...
The Washington Post ran a piece yesterday on Don Imus and his behavior to call him a conservative which is true if you think the Pope is Muslim. Why else do you think so many of the media defended him? Why else do you think MSNBC and CBS allowed him to continue on?
I have entertained the theory and I think anyone who has spent time in the work world will agree-it's possible Don Imus was a relic that only survived as long as he had endorsements, there may have been a long line of people just waiting to fire him, salivating to see him get it for all the nasty things he has said, and all that needed to happen was to stop the precious money flow behind him. This actually comforts me.
The man is just past his time and this was overdue.
