Well I know he has a Ranch for children who have cancer or blood disorders, and he dedicates his summers to being there. So does his wife.
I can't take him personally. I think he is a crotchity old bastarto-numbskullus.

“I’m not a bad person. I’m a good person, but I said a bad thing. But these young women deserve to know it was not said with malice,” he said. :smack:

Who the hell listens to Don Imus anyway? Take him off the air permanently.

(And BTW-tell Sharpton white people still want an apology for the entire Tawana episode.)

They were talking about this on FoxNews this morning. One of the anchors brought up an interesting point. He said that he was really confused as to why the Al Sharptons of the world were up in arms about this when the majority of songs put out by the Hip-Hoppers have lyrics just as offensive and in some cases more offensive yet no one criticizes them.

If they want respect from anyone, they should demand it from everyone.

MSNBC said it will suspend telecasting Don Imus' radio program for two weeks following his reference last week to members of the Rutgers women's basketball team as "nappy-headed hos." :howdy:

He is an old geezer and I do not get hear his radio show but he has been off the wall entertaiment for me since the 70's when he had a show on T.V. called Imus Plus.
Since when did Sharpton become holier than tho? I love free speech and am so tired of political correctness. Call it like you see it.

The camp for kids with cancer is his wife’s idea. Imus’s statement is the true Imus. Howard Stern was talking about what an a-hole Irmus was when they worked together at WNBC in the early eighties. He mentioned the Brenda incident were Imus called the receptionist, a black women, the “N” word. This was brought up to Imus by Larry king at one point and Imus couldn’t deny it.

Don't lump every black person in with the ignorance of Hip-Hop. Most blacks do demand that respect.

Howard Stern calling someone an a-hole? Since when is Stern some sort of standard for defining anyone's sense of decency?

When I say they, I mean the people we see on TV #####ing about what Don Imus said, when you know damn well they weren't listening to his show at the time.

And before they ##### about someone like Don Imus, and marching on his studio, they really should be marching on Def Jam records and the dozens of other places that regulary portray blacks in a negative light.

ANd since when has "Nappy Headed" and "ho" been racist? It may well have been an unjustifed insult, but racist?? Is this another Macaca?
