Imus & Rev. Al Sharpton

Discussion in 'Politics & Religion' started by britishguy, Apr 10, 2007.

    Don Imus' morning talk show will be suspended from CBS Radio and MSNBC for two weeks following protests about his reference to members of the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos," both networks said Monday.
    http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ap-imus-protests&prov=ap&type=lgns
    Imus, who has made a career of cranky insults in the morning, was fighting for his job following the joke that by his own admission went "way too far." He continued to apologize Monday, both on his show and on a syndicated radio program hosted by the Rev. Al Sharpton, who is among several black leaders demanding his ouster.

    Well how about that :-

    I'm still trying to figure out whether it is funny that Imus has to go to Sharpton to expunge his racial crimes :confused:

    Al Sharpton (along with Jesse "Yes I have an illegitimate child" Jackson) are the main problems of racism in this country. They are both media whores (not the only ones, I tend to think O'reilly is one also) who will do anything to get any kind of coverage possible, which in turn just makes them $$...If the two of them would go away and quit ruining others 1st amendment right to free speech (oh my gosh, someone just got offended!:eek:) then we wouldn't see half the problems that we do...

    Should Sharpton really be the person being the mediator here? He has a history too.

    Imus has a little history of this,doesn't he?

    Few years back - didn't Imus say that the Williams sisters belonged on the cover of national geographic, not the swim suit edition?

    I was wondering when someone was gonna bring this topic up. My opinion is probably best described in my blog.

    I really think the only thing Imus has done wrong here is give Jesse Jackson another reason to march.

    I love the news headlines on CNN today. They said that "Apology, suspension not enough."

    I have a solution for Mr. Imus. Since an apology and suspension is not enough, what is? Mr. Imus, you should just kill yourself.

    God I wish they would just tell us who the father of Anna "Fat Ass" Nicole Smith's baby is so this no news day part two can end.
