Bernard McGuirk called the players Gigaboos
in the same broadcast. I hear it in the tape, but no one hardly ever comments about him. I'm not trying to take away from what Imus says. As a matter a fact, I think it proves even more that Imust is a racist because he lets this guy be his producer.

I have hated that guy because he is a true blue racist, sexist, homophobic and dispicable human being. I have heard very many disgusting remarks about women come from that mans mouth. He is truly disgusting.

16. Me too. From the first time I saw and heard him, he was a complete turn off.
So I turned them off.

3. He sits in the corner out of sight and stokes the fires.
He's worse than Imus.

4. Boy ! I hadn't heard that one for awhile....
White people used to call us that all the time when I was kid. And most of the time, they didn't seem to mean it in a mean spirited way...... :evilfrown:

5. I'm sorry to have had to type it, but it is the truth, that is what he said.
The guy is a real sicko, believe me, he actually scares me sometimes.

12. I agree, it is a true racial slur as far as I'm concerned. No excuses for its use. nt

7. 1) Extend index finger. 2) Press "POWER" button to turn radio off. 3) Problem solved.

8. No, that does not solve the problem. This is a reflection of part of society. You cannot
just turn it off. It happens everysingle day to people.

I choose to not stick my head in the sand and think just cause I didn't hear it, it's not a problem.

Ignoring racism will make it go away.

17. Those on the bottom just need to think positive.
If they don't worry about it, they'll be fine.



... apparently.

18. Christ, do you all miss the point enough? If enough people stop listening, the show goes off
the air. and the racism stops being broadcast.

Duh.

Jesus, am I speaking Turkish here?

10. Piece of shit.
Sounds like jealousy. Seeing young black women strive and succeed at something positive. Must tear those little men up inside.

15. and people admire and emulate this behavior.
because they think it's cool.
And advertisers endorse this behavior.
Which perpetuates it further.

21. I heard that on DemocracyNow! this morning.
That surprised me because I had not heard talk of it either.

These bastards have to go. The entire group must suffer for spreadinhg their hate, and right now the easiest way is to pound Imus I guess. Whatever hurts them is fine by me.

I am offended by those who would treaten critics with the future of the ranch. I'm sure the ranch could find another way to solicit funds than Imus merch.

These racist assholes do not belong on the People's airwaves.

23. No he did not
He was making a reference to Spike Lee's movie School Daze which uses that term.

25. Don Anus' ranch in New Mexico is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
He gets to live on this beautiful, huge ranch for NOTHING! And he broadcasts from there as well which means he uses it for PROFIT! Wake up - he's doing the same thing DeLay does and all these rich bastards do. All he has to do is have some kids with cancer there a few times a year which he uses for photo ops - and he gets it all for nothing!

27. what does that mean??
I get that it is a derisive term for some reason, but I am not even sure how you are supposed to pronounce that odd-looking word.

28. If I find him on the TV in the morning, I change it as fast as possible.
Very low energy people. Not healthy. Not happy. Just alot of old fat men bitching and complaining.

They just ridicule anyone who actually does something in this world, and then they punch their timecards and congratulate themselves that they went to work today.

Losers. Period.
