1. – Why Don Imus? There are many shock jocks, rappers, etc far more offensive than Don Imus so why single out Imus?

2. – Why Now? You can’t say because he crossed the line, Don Imus has been crossing the line for more than 30 years and often to a greater degress than this.

3. – Why Kill the Cash Cow? – Controversy does not turn off the type of people that listen to this type of material. Just like Hollywood, there is no such thing as bad publicity.

4. – Corporate America developed a Social Conscience? – Only possible if you believe in the “Enlightenment Fairy?”

MOST IMPORTANT
5. – Why did the ntetwork people invite Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton to wiegh in on this issue? That makes as much sence as a bank robber going home after a heist and call 911 to ask their opinion on whether it was an armed robbery because he held a gun on the teller.

Anyone who has followed the Imus show knows that Deidre Imus has become a more frequent and outspoken guest on Don’s show. Do you think it is a co-incidence that Don Imus’ firing came within two weeks of Diedre’s appearance on the Today Show promoting her new book on cleaning product that you make out of ordinary household products that are not only inexpensive but free of toxins that are dangerous to your health. Deidre’s rebuttal to the industry’s statement that these products have been proven safe was unequivical, just not true she said. I had two thoughts at the time: 1. This woman has cast-iron gonads! – 2. There is going to be fallout! Take a look at a list of the sponcors and tell me this is all coincidence.
The cleaning industry’s statements that the ingredients in their products are safe is the 21st century equivalency to the tobacco industry touting there is no scientific evidence that smoking is injurous to your health.
I am not alone in this stance, needless to say, however, it’s pretty difficult to get any time on the airwaves. Instead of “…now a word from our sponcors.” it’s “..NOT A WORD” say the sponcors.

Young women who participate in sports and are trying to improve their lives by studying are models for the community and deserve praise. I don’t mind if someone wants to make jokes about women playing basketball but not about their morals if those remarks are made with no justification whatsoever.

I am tired of watching Sharpton & Jackson fill their pockets by using the hopes of the under privileged African-American communities through out the country.

The Frankenstein Imus has been burned and his carcass left out for the other scavengers now that the primary vultures in Sharpton & Jackson has been duly fed.

Little will change in the village. Everybody will go back to placing their little blinders with the holes in them just like before.

Jason Whitlock, a African-American columnist for the Kansas City Star, said it best: “(Imus) got the death penalty for jaywalking.”

While I abhor his remarks, I find them far less racist (in the truest definition of the word as his words do not infer that he believes one race is inferior/superior to another) than sexist, but certainly not in good taste.

I would never have said such things on air and I have been live on air many times. What irks me the most about all of this is the blatant hypocrisy exhibited by those who called for nothing less than The Monster Imus’ professional demise.

Whitlock then called for a new generation of voices and spokesmen in the black community because these guys do not speak for the non-1965 Civil Rights issues that exist in the 21st century.

And I have to agree with him.
