Is Imus going to get fired?

I sometimes watch on MSNBC in the mornings being a political junkie and all...now I heard about the comments the racist bastards Imus and Bernie said about the Rutgers ladies' B-ball team but hadn't heard anything about a firing...what did I miss?

He is not going to get fired.

It took two days for even a stink to be raised about it.

If Hannity or O' Reilly said the same exact thing, they would have been deported to the South Pole already.

In fairness, Epiphany Prince was tried but acquitted in Brooklyn for assault in a school right before Vivian Stringer recruited her.Must be great to be paying $20K at Rutgers for your kid to go there while keepin' it real Epiphany gets a free ride. Main reason I stopped watching college hoops is because I had to hear idiots like Billy Packer, John Thompson and Dick Vitale make it sound like a free college education was such a pittance for these wonderful student athletes like Greg Oden doing that compare/contrast paper about Black Sabbath/Led Zeppelin. Meanwhile the rest of us have to plan to pay college tuition at great expense.But no surprise there at Rutgers-Stringer's nephew is a convicted murderer. Imus's big offense is he might be close to the truth, if he stated it rather inelegantly.

What a surprise-Imus to be run out of town by that paragon of virtue and decency, Al Sharpton.

Bernie McGuirk said it was a game between the Jigaboos and the Wannabees-come on man that's being an ignorant rascist-I don't want my kids using that kind of language to describe a race of people...

I grew up in a household where every rascist name was used to describe anybody else but my own-I had to live 30 something years of my life to purge that poison out of my system and do NOT allow that kind of talk in MY house in front of MY children-hey but that's me...eveybody has the right to do and say what they want in their own homes but when it comes through the TV...that is a different story IMO

Put it this way. If I described a girl at my job as a nappy headed ho I'd be out the door.

I honestly think he's gonna get the boot and go to satellite.

from what I read in a Times story from yesterday it doesn't look like he's going anywhere Matt-he should...but he won't...hey I wonder how much the FCC would have fined Howard Stern had HE said the same thing when he was on regular radio?

So people who share your racist views should be able to do what ever they like, and people of other races should be shot. Got it.

I'm a racist because the fact of that if this was about white men or even whties it would not be an issue? The facts are the facts. If Imus is bashing a white male team like oh I don't know, Duke, which is mostly white, nothing comes of this but maybe a slap on the rist. But, oh no, its women and african americans so he should lose his job? Give me a break. I'm not the racist one, the racists ones are the idiots who can't see that the race and sex card are played entirely too much in this country.

Okay that is twice that the same post was deleted by two different mods. This topic didn't have to sink to the level it did. Sociology Class is a great place to discuss such issues.

I am just going to lock this. It is a shame because most people would probably be able to discuss this reasonably. But rather than continue to delete posts the entire thing just gets locked.
