After Grilling by Sharpton, Imus Is Suspended

Submitted by Jacques Bakke, Apr 11, 2007 01:16

Imus should take Howard Sterns advice. Imus was making a joke and if anyone believes he was personally attacking these young wormen, making sport of them or of their school is simply using this issue to forward their own pathetic agenda. Is this a free country or not? Do we have freedom of speech or not? What happened to all of the dialect comedians we used to have? Gone with the wind of the likes of fake preachers and phony hypocrites. These are the real hate mongers and racists who alienate all of us.

I don't watch Imus because I can't stand to look at him and I don't listen to talk radio anyway unless by accident but if one of the talkers says something insensitive, tune to another station! Howard Stern is for immature teenagers who get off on lascivious tit jokes at the expense of immature (mentally)women....Jeeze, check out who listens?? Shunning is most effective.
