Sharpton on MSNBC now saying that tomorrow he will protest outside CBS.
Good. And then the protests need to move to CNN and any other network that carries this kind of crap. Sharpton is saying it is about the "use of the air waves." Do we have a movement to get the airwaves freed of hate speech?

3. While he's at it, he needs to go to Clear Channel, since they're employing
the likes of Limpballs and Handjob.

4. Does Anybody Ever Protest Limbaugh, O'Lielly, Hannity, Savage, Etc.?
If they put as much effort into protesting the hard core right wing facists, perhaps things would be better.

I realize Imus is a schmuck, but still....he had no kind words for the current administration.

I'd much rather see one of the above mentioned folks taken off the air.

10. I don't care....
...the rutgers girls team can stomp him for all I care.

He needs stomping, but I have heard that the 'Imus ranch' helps out terminal or disavantaged kids.

If he really tries to help kids who don't have anyone else to try to give them a good time, then I am willing to give him a pass for "nappy headed ho's".

I really wonder why we, as a society, cannot just lighten up and realize that there are good people who sometimes have a brain fart. Hell, I've had enough of them. I will not apologize for having a brain fart. I was raised with a grandmother who had a 'nigger dog' etc.

Live with it. Don't be happy, just realize that life is NOT fair.

My youngest daughter is deaf, and socially disabled.

If you are black, jewish, or some other 'opressed' minority, I challenge you to face the kind of discrimination that my daughter faces day-to-day. I can ensure that you do NOT
deal with the kind of 'look down your nose' discrimination that she faces.

She makes A's & B's in school - 130 IQ.

Wake up, and realize your doing better than you ever have. If it is not good enough, it is up to you to make your situiaton better.

Yeah, it's not great, but I can assure you that you are doing better than someone who cannot hear.


Not to mention those who cannot see.

I am continually amazed at the able-bodied people who whine about 'discrminination', wnen they really don't know what it really means.

FLAME ON!

11. I don't want Imus in prison, just have him fired
He doesn't have a "right" to be on CBS, and if CBS doesn't want to be boycotted, they will fire him. I couldn't care less how "wonderful" he is.

9. EXACTLY. I don't care if Imus is on the radio. I didn't want him on MSRNC...
If Sharpton doesn't protest Glenn or Rush then it is empty and hollow.
