Its much ado about a hair doo...... again!

I'm not sure I get this:

"NEW YORK - MSNBC said Wednesday it will drop its simulcast of the “Imus in the Morning” radio program, responding to growing outrage over the radio host’s racial slur against the Rutgers women’s basketball team."

Which of the simulcasts are they dropping? The TV segment, or the radio segment?

Will he and his goons still be on MSNBC in 2 weeks?

I'm confused too.

The TV broadcast that pulls in most of its audience is dropped. The thing is Imus is broadcast from MSNBC world headquarters.

I just want to shoot Steve Capus right now.

April 11: Why have other radio and television hosts, whose racism has been more clear-cut, more fully-intentional, more hurtful than Don Imus' comments not been the boycotted, suspended or worse? Rev. Jesse Jackson discusses on "Countdown."

So let me get this straight, all rappers who call women whores and use the "n" word are all going to be pulled from radio and CD stores?

I am reminded of the phrase: "When pigs fly.........."

Im reminded of another phrase "they're Hypocrites"

So Imus is gone, but Dave Chapelle and Rosie O'donnell are still on the air?

American hypocrisy.

 

[Pete]

I'm reminded of another phrase, "In 3 months people will be saying "Imus who?"

 

[AndyMarquisLIVE]

Meanwhile, CBSABCCNNFOX are all smirking in glee right now.

Agreed. :sux2bhim:

But they are oppressed people. he’s black, she’s a lesbian. It’s ok for them to say what they want.

Haven’t you read the fine print of the first amendment. I reads "Does not apply to white males"

 

[Pete]

Agreed. :sux2bhim:

I meant it will all be forgotten and he will be right back in obscurity pimping his corn chips, salsa and western shirts like he always has been.

The really stupid thing here is the man cracked a stupid joke. It is not like he said it with any malice at all. Imus has made NBC a grunch load of money for decade and his ranch has helped hundreds if not thousands of kids yet good old loyal NBC threw him off the bus faster than you ban Azzy MPD's. They did nothing to lessen the onslaught, just tossed him out like nothing.

Not to mention that Chappelle is actually funny. Imus is just a fossilized tard.

Chappelle and Rock may be funny to you, but I find them offensive and racist. I'm waiting for an apology to the White community.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I had an interview a while back:

Interviewer: Do you belong to or have you belonged to any racist or extremist groups?
Me: Define a racist or extremist group.
Interviewer: Skinheads, Klan, Neo-Nazis, NAAWP, EURO
Me: How about the naacp, are they considered racist and extremist?
Interviewer: Well...no
Me: black panthers?
Interviewer: Ahh....
Me: black caucus?
Interviewer: I don't think those groups are considered as extremist as the ones I've mentioned.
Me: You honestly believe that?
Interviewer: I think we're done here.

Someone on CNN was saying MSNBC should fire Scarborough

I agree with you, I'm not happy with Steve Capus or MSNBC. At least now I can turn on MSNBC and not hear someone who sounds like they're eating they're face on the air.
