I disagree with Obama. Let his bosses decide. If Imus loses viewers and sponsors because of his behavior, he's toast anyways.

[Gunny]

Obama: Fire Imus

Gunny: Fuck Obama

[MtnBiker]

Let the market place determine Imus's fate. Btw I didn't hear of any politician asking for the Dixie Chicks being dropped from their label. They are free to speak their mind, at the risk of effecting themselves in the market place.

[avatar4321]

Amazing, we actually have a Presidential nominee who wants to punish people for speaking their mind. Granted, Imus is a complete and utter moron, but he has the right to say anything he wants. He is an American.

Can anyone honestly look to Obama as a protector of the Constitution if he is so quick to recommend people get punished for exercising free speech in a way that society disagrees with?

The market is taking care of it. His sponsors are jumping ship.


....U.S.-based car maker General Motors and office supplies retailer Staples joined several major companies that have pulled their advertisements from the show over the comments.

Other sponsors, including household consumer products company Procter and Gamble, and Bigelow Tea, also announced they will suspend their advertisements in light of the remarks. http://www.voanews.com/english/2007-04-11-voa50.cfm

Meanwhile why doesn't Neil Boortz the other right wing hate monger racist get the same kind of negative publicity for his racist statements?


Boortz: Rep. McKinney "looks like a ghetto slut"
On the March 31 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Neal Boortz said that Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) "looks like a ghetto slut." Boortz was commenting on a March 29 incident in which McKinney allegedly struck a police officer at a Capitol Hill security checkpoint. Boortz said that McKinney's "new hair-do" makes her look "like a ghetto slut," like "an explosion at a Brillo pad factory," like "Tina Turner peeing on an electric fence," and like "a shih tzu." McKinney is the first African-American woman elected to Congress from Georgia.

From the March 31 broadcast of Cox Radio Syndication's The Neal Boortz Show, with producer Belinda Skelton and talk radio host Royal Marshall:

BOORTZ: For instance, or for goodness sakes, jump in and I'm gonna say -- I'm gonna start out with something controversial. I saw Cynthia McKinney's new hair-do. Have you seen it, Belinda?

SKELTON: No.

BOORTZ: She looks like a ghetto slut.

Well there is a distinction between the Dixie Chicks who are artists (regardless of what we think of the merits of the music) and Imus who is..............not. He's something else, I'm not sure what.

Nevertheless all Americans enjoy the protection of the first amendment. Why are they hassling Imus so much when other radio personalities right and left from Rush L. to Al Franken say equally insulting, not to mention stupid, things all the time?

I think he's entertaining and I like listening to him once in a while. Sometimes I agree, sometimes not and I find it impossible to believe he means a lot of his sillier stuff, it's just entertainment. However the way his followers have put him on a pedestal is a real turnoff and totally out of proportion with his accomplishments. I feel the same way about other middling talents like Seinfeld or Oprah who are similarly feted. Actually they have more talent than Rush because they can act, but all are overrated and frequently boring.

I don't agree with everything he says either (Not sure anyone really does agree with everything anyone says). But the man is intelligent and he has definitely made me rethink a few things or atleast look at them in a new light.

There is no doubt he is entertaining, but I think thats the beauty of his programming. He conducts intellectual discussion about current events in an entertaining manner. And I don't know about anyone else, but its usually obvious to me when he isnt being serious about something.

So---who is really in charge of what it said, done and seen in America and should it be controlled or not. Bascially Imus was fired because he said somthing that a company feared would hurt thier bottom line. Does the dollar determine what we will be seeing and hearing or even who our elected officials will be ? There are a lot of things on public media that I think are detrimental to the public good and would rather just "disappear yet when someone is booted from a career because advertisers don't like him, I think it raises some serious questions. Again---does money = feedom of speech.
