Imus is on Huge Anti Bush Rant!

[illuminaughty]

Wow! Imus is going crazy! Says he's leaving the country if Bush wins.
He's rather be decapitated than vote for Bush. He'd rather kill himself than vote for Bush. Bush is a war criminal. Ha! This is great!

For those who don't know Don Imus. He has a morning radio talk show that also airs on MSNBC. Most viewers have a continual love/hate relationship with Imus, but he has a lot of listeners. And anyone who is anyone in the political world bows to Imus. He kisses no one's ass. His audience is huge and if he goes on like this everyday until the election, it will definitely have some impact.

1. I got a kick out him when...

the other guy mentioned that Imus formally supported Bush and he replied, "Are you CRAZY??? I'd rather be beheaded than vote for Bush!!!". Go Imus!

[sendero]

2. What is this guy - schizophrenic?

A few days ago he was villifying Kerry.

I think he's suffering from McCain's disease, he doesn't know what the eff he thinks. :)

[secular_warrior]

4. It's MSNBC whore disease,

probably caught it from Matthews.

[doni_georgia]

3. Yeah he started last Friday by saying he was in Kerry's camp

Normally he wavers a lot, but he has been pretty clearly anti-Bush for a while.

5. Did you hear it when the whole crew started ragging on Condoleezza

Some real harsh stuff they were dishing out, even the Pub supporters, Bernie and Charles.

24. The Racist, Sexist Hyenas

McCord is a Bunnypants boy...I heard him say so last week and is always defending his assholiness. McGuirk is a total ass is Rosenberg and the "contributors". Of course we're supposed to think this is "boys being boys".

I catch the first hour of Imus while waiting for Washington Journal (sponsored by the AEI) and to avoid the crap on Faux & CNNservative. I used to watch him for all 3 hours every day until 9/11 and since then I just can't stomache the insensitivity displayed regularly on that show.

Imus waivered from supporting Kerry before the RNC, then while the Repugnicans were in town, he become "uncommitted", now he's back on the Kerry bandwagon again? I guess any vote means something, but I wouldn't put Imus' name on the major endorsement list.

6. What is Howard Stern saying these days?

[Ruffhowse]

10. Howard is still definitely on board these days as a Kerry supporter.

Dumps on Bush regularly.

[lolamio]

12. Check out Stern's website!

The home page gives you voter information, and instructs us to "Clip the Bush!" He is on a mission!

[newyawker99]

27. Hi lolamio!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[dennis4868]

26. Howard has Micaek Moore...

on his show today because of the F911 DVD release....

[GreenPartyVoter]

7. Welcome to DU. :^)

8. Bob Schieffer is on Imus now

and he said Kerry has gone from being the loser to the underdog and that people love the underdog??? I don't watch Face The Nation. Is this guy fair or is he a closet republican that will try to stick it to Kerry? Or is he equally hard on both?

[H2O Man]

11. Bob Schieffer's brother

had a business association with Bush, involving Texas baseball. Many think that this could influence his questioning of the candidates on Friday. I do not. Bob is one of the more decent ansd sincere people at that level of the media. If we want to think about it in Texas baseball terms, Bob may be the coach that tells Bush the country has decided to put a new pitcher into the game.

[spooky3]

29. I like Bob S. too. During the Clinton debacle, he was one of the most

reasonable and courageous in pointing out perspectives the conservatives didn't like and refused to trash Clinton or Lewinsky--at least during the times I heard him.

[npincus]

9. interesting- what's your take on it... is Imus more revved up because

Kerry did so well in the dabte and poll numbers are up- do you think? I listen to him occasionaly and have found him to be quite down on Kerry's chances to win, indirectly suppressing support for him by demoralizing Dems. What do you think changed Imus' attitude? I haven't listened to him this morning.

[unfrigginreal]

13. LOL - Freeper Bo Dietl now calling Kerry his man

[DeepModem Mom]

14. Say WHAT???

[unfrigginreal]

15. Shocked me too

It's hard to tell with this program if it was just sarcasm but he went on and on about holding fund raisers for Kerry, having him over for lunch, what a great President he will make. The show has been great this morning, very unusual.

[Bombtrack]

16. Imus sucks really, really, really, really, bad

but I'm glad he's getting some of his small audience to change their votes.

[unfrigginreal]

17. Imus putting his money where his mouth is

just made a $10,000 bet that Kerry will win. Asked to bet $1 Mil. but the lady wouldn't go for it.

[Qanisqineq]

18. No, Imus said he was NOT one of those people that would leave

the country if Bush won. The rest is true -- the decapitation and suicide part, saying he's never been a Bush supporter. Said he did not vote for Bush in 2000, said he wrote in McCain.

Imus is a strange, strange individual but he is the only person I know that is grumpier than me in the mornings so I get a kick out of him.

[rasputin1952]

19. You got me to look at Imus this AM...what did I find?...

Coulter is on tomorrow! I just might, watch tomorrow...:evilgrin:

That should be one heck of an exchange....:)

[unfrigginreal]

20. I can't believe that they're having that skank on

If he starts pandering to her I'll probably :puke:

[helpisontheway]

21. NO...

WHen Coulter is on he will be laughing and agreeing with everything she says. Imus changes his opinions depending on who is on that particular day. Tomorrow will be a pro-Bush day....Oh and if Edwards loses the debate tomorrow Imus will probably say Kerry/Edwards no longer have a chance again.

[DinahMoeHum]

22. Don "I-am-an ass" is a flip-flopper, only thing he cares about

is himself.

But he still comes out only second-best to Howard Stern in the New York ratings market.


:evilfrown:

[yellowcanine]

23. "He kisses no one's ass." Uh, ok if you say so. Imus is a "wet finger in

the wind" fraud who will kiss ass when someone is on his show (particularly if they donate to his "ranch") and then stab them in the back if they suffer some public opinion reversal the next day. Also his tendancy is to tout the expert opinion of the last expert he talked to.

[Clinton Crusader]

25. He changes his mind more than his underwear

I cant take him seriously anymore.
:kick:

[JaneQPublic]

31. The one time I caught his show was during the 2000 Election

He was talking about George W. Bush and telling his audience emphatically, "You gotta vote for this guy!"

I turned the channel and haven't listened since.

[demosincebirth]

28. Don't forget, he also, was part of the partisan ...

attack against Clinton, during the Monica incident.

[spooky3]

30. my guess is Imus has decided that conflict on his show is more

interesting than if everyone expressed agreement with one (Repug) view.
