Imus says what Republicans think

[gabosaurus]

I actually feel sorry for Imus. He was merely expressing the opinions of his fellow Conservative Republican when he made those comments about the Rutgers basketball team.
You only need to read this forum on a daily basis to know this is true. Republicans love to blame most of the nation's problems on blacks and Mexicans. They are mocked, belittled and rarely taken seriously.
Imus put those thoughts into words because he felt he could get away with it. All he had to do was consider the past media personalities who have lost their jobs due to insensitive racial comments.
So long, Imus. Perhaps you can get a radio job in New Orleans.

Gabby, I should feel sorry for you. Apparently, your brain is so fried with hatred towards Bush and conservatives that you can't think logically. It's probably caused by reading the New York Times or hanging out with moveon.org types. Well, it's irrelevant, the fact is, if you believe your statement about conservatives, you need help.

You not only need help overcoming your hatred, you also need to grow up.

Your wholesale bigotry of conservatives is no better than racism.

The sad part is, that there are so many like you.

Gabs, Imus isn't conservative. He isnt even close to conservative. He was a huge Kerry supporter in 2004. He is completely opposed to the war on terror. The man leans to the left.

Your accusations of Republicans mocking and belittling blacks is just unfounded. This is a myth created by the media. That's the problem,you all believe every myth and load of crap the media tells you.

[Gaffer]

imus has always been a liberal. That's why he felt safe in talking the way he did. He didn't expect the libs to turn on him. And then to call him a conservative on top of it is even double the insult.

THE IMUS SCANDAL: POLITICAL IMPACT
Democratic politicians lose a soapbox with firing of Don Imus
His show helped many of them reach a national audience of white males -- a crucial voting bloc.
By Peter Wallsten
Times Staff Writer

April 13, 2007

WASHINGTON — They came by the hundreds that hot August day in tiny Johnson City, Tenn., gathering on an asphalt parking lot to meet Rep. Harold E. Ford Jr. It was not just that he might become the state's first black senator. More than that, even in Republican eastern Tennessee, the Democratic congressman was a celebrity — a regular guest on Don Imus' radio show.

And today, with Imus' career in tatters, the fate of the controversial shock jock is stirring quiet but heartfelt concern in an unlikely quarter: among Democratic politicians.

That's because, over the years, Democrats such as Ford came to count on Imus for the kind of sympathetic treatment that Republicans got from Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity.

Equally important, Imus gave Democrats a pipeline to a crucial voting bloc that was perennially hard for them to reach: politically independent white men.

With Imus' show canceled indefinitely because of his remarks about the Rutgers University women's basketball team, some Democratic strategists are worried about how to fill the void. For a national radio audience of white men, Democrats see few if any alternatives.

"This is a real bind for Democrats," said Dan Gerstein, an advisor to one of Imus' favorite regulars, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.). "Talk radio has become primarily the province of the right, and the blogosphere is largely the province of the left. If Imus loses his microphone, there aren't many other venues like it around."...

Is there a point to this post? It's just lies you cannot substantiate.

[gabosaurus]

OK, so Imus is not a conservative Republican. Mea culpa and all that.
His statement still reflects the typical Republican dislike of blacks and Mexicans. And he remains an idiot for saying so.

[Samantha]

I also thought Imus was a Republican due to his racist comments. Maybe all Republicans are not racist, but on boards like these, it's always the Republicans making racist remarks. Just yesterday we had a whole conversation on how "paki" is a racist slur. The Righties were very happy to keep using the term even after finding out about that.

I also feel sorry for Imus. He is the posterchild right now for racists. I hope that it doesn't end with him. He is taking the brunt of America's anger with hate speech. I hope rappers, leaders and other radio and TV news show entertainers are also held accountable for what they say.

[gabosaurus]

Imus is merely the latest member of the media to be shot down by an inopertune racial comment. Who remembers the "that little monkey" and "blacks are born better athletes" comments?
That being said, I think the Rutgers basketball team made way too much of a spectacle about the whole incident. They could have made a few gracious/angry statements and then let it go. Instead of wasting an entire hour-long press conference basically repeating the same comments.

Actually it is Demos who hate Blacks and Mexicans, by giving them just enough welfare to survive without incentive to better theirselves and at the same time ensuring(buying) their votes go the Demo way Demos are in fact keeping Blacks on the "plantation". Demos think Blacks are stupid niggers.

No, man. I'm sorry. That's just not true. Democrats DON'T hate blacks and Mexicans. They hate whites. Republicans might hate blacks and Mexicans, but they're not going to say so, or act on the feelings.

The truth is that conservatives and Republicans ARE more likely to be "racist" in the general meaning of the word. But they tend to think that the route to success is to DENY this as much as possible. Well, they've tried this, and it's failed. What they should do is EMBRACE natural, healthy feelings of racism, and start fighting back.

Great essay on this topic. You'll see there's a concession to OCA's point above, but there's a bigger point:

The Conservative Conceit

The most laughable self-delusion of mainstream conservatives these days goes roughly as follows: "I'm conservative, but I'm not racist. In fact, liberals are the real racists. Why else would they believe in affirmative action and welfare? Stereotyping minorities as helpless -- now that's racist." Whereupon, an eager young Republican becomes misty-eyed and imagines himself braving the hose blasts in Alabama whilst warbling "We Shall Overcome."

Oh, and don't forget, these Eddie Haskells of freeperdom love to add: Republican Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, while Sen. Robert Byrd of West Virginia, a Democrat, was a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Right. Rattle off these townhall.com geek-facts to a clutch of corn-rowed bubble-jacket boolies in East New York and see how far it gets you. So whatchoo sayin', son? I gots to be GOP? Da free market is mad tight? Fo-shizzle!

There is trace validity to this racism-denial by conservatives, particularly the exposure of white liberals as having a paternalistic attitude toward blacks. Which they do, but because the paternalism benefits blacks materially, it's the lonely black who's genuinely upset by it. Hookers may not be proud of what they do, but they don't turn down the cash. Conservative "outrage" about how the poor blacks are turned lazy by liberals and their welfare, by contrast, is heavily feigned. But feign they do, working themselves into a righteous lather about how Arthur Laffer is the true heir to Martin Luther King, Jr. Go tell it on the mountain!

But the truth is that conservatism and racism are closely linked. Both summon experience and instinct as guides, both are jealous of territory, and neither flout natural orders for very long. It's the subconscious realization of this truth that prompts mainstream conservatives go to ridiculous lengths to convince the world -- and themselves -- that they're not racist.The attempt at self-delusion manifests itself in such tomes as Liberal Racism by Jim Sleeper or The End of Racism by Dinesh D'Souza, elevation of such ridiculous characters as Alan Keyes to presidential candidacy primacy, or pretending that J.C. Watts was congressional leadership material instead of admitting what he really is, a nigger of the most common variety. Witness Republican conventions featuring "Turbo, the Republican Rapper." I know of what I speak. Shit like that used to get me excited.

The phenomenon reveals the mental gymnastics that even thoughtful, politically engaged people are willing to perform in order to avoid thinking honestly about race. Culture, class, values, economics -- conservatives will cling desperately to these abstractions to avoid facing the truth on the ground: blacks and Hispanics have not, cannot and will not be the raw material for a civilization that approaches anything like what they have in mind. Period. If you seek to conserve anything, conservatives, you must first seek to conserve the race that made it.

The antics are amusing. Debate along the liberal-conservative spectrum today is mostly a contest over whose ideology is most anti-racist. Conservatives will speak of "school choice" in the same reverent tones as liberals speak of "civil rights." Oppose "school choice," and why, who are you, Hitler? Oh, how good it feels to call the other side racist for once! I get a newsletter from a libertarian legal outfit called the Institute for Justice, which never fails to present itself as the champion of black women who would be launching their race to riches with hair-braiding establishments were it not for those burdensome regulations no doubt promulgated by big-government racists at the health department.

Liberals and conservatives are tripping over each other in a mad scramble to grab the golden ring of multiracialism. I even read an essay recently in which the writer compared the Janet Jackson tit flash to Weimar Germany. Yeah! Our declining values can only be a preview of Nazi takeover! Never mind living, breathing Jews pumping this stuff in 2004. Let's talk about those darn racists! It's almost as if conservatives, aware that they're "behind" when it comes to multiracial hipness, are pouring most of their energy into this pursuit, rather than, say, I don't know, preserving our culture and some semblance of American freedom.

The same realization also explains why "conservatism," even in its most defanged incarnations, still retains a hint of the forbidden. In a typical college campus showdown, the lefties, liberals and other crunchy activists will chant that the College Republicans are a bunch of racists. On cue, the Republicans will deny it, holding up their pictures of the brown-skinned Dinesh D'Souza like silver crosses. Affirmative action bake sale my ass. For those who've missed it, campus Bushies have been attempting to garner attention with bake sales that offer different prices for similarly-sized cookies depending on who's buying: $1 for whites, 25 cents for blacks, etc. Tee-hee. The point being, all the races are the same, and isn't affirmative action silly? Only in Amerikwa could students get in trouble for a stunt that only seeks to affirm racial equality. But what's really going on is that the darkies sense, correctly, that however superficially sincere the point of the exercise, the College Republicans are Polo-wearing white kids contemptuous of blacks and reluctant to associate with them unless they're Tiger Woods. The random Asian in the club only serves to strengthen the point.

White liberals and white conservatives differ very little in their core regard for blacks. Deep down, white liberals correctly see blacks as a perpetually inferior breed. If one happens to spring from the pack and start working calculus functions in grade school, they're happy, but they really don't have high expectations for the group. Most are interested more in feeling good about themselves, which for them comes from doing whatever they think will create the impression of black success. White liberals have little interest in getting too close to blacks, unless it's in zoo-like settings where they can ooh and aah over their naturalness but there's thick plexiglass in case anything gets out of hand. So, you'll find them putting up paintings of blacks or watching PBS specials about jazz, but never wandering around the Bronx after dark. White conservatives aren't much different. They don't feel quite the compulsion to watch PBS, but still like to think of themselves as non-racist "good guys." In the end, I think the only difference between white liberals and white conservatives is where they prefer to send the check: the welfare office or the prison. Why don't we stop writing the checks altogether?

The conservative conceit is funny, yes, but maddening. It's indicative of a political thought process that seeks self-pleasure, not truth, and is thus understandable but not honorable. The conservative failure to see the truth of racial difference is killing the white race. Conservatives, it's time to come down off the trapeze and get to work.

Sure he does.

The thing I have a hard time understanding though is why if Blacks like Barack Obama are so smart and well thought out is why they are so stupid as to be Uncle Toms? Shit it ain't hard to figure out that the core of Congress's Demos think he is nothing but a nigger who happens to speak well.............reference the comments of Joe Biden for proof of this.

[Mr. P]

....

He was representing no one except himself when he made his comment.

Nice try buy you can't tag Conservatives with 'group think' as you can with Liberals. Conservatives are much more independent and much less 'Dependant' on a 'group' than a Liberal.

[Sitarro]

I was discussing this whole mess with a friend who happens to be not only highly educated but also black. He feels that Imus is being used by the despicable race traders(his words) Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. He says that he is sick of the help that white liberals keep pretending to give black Americans and takes it as the insult that it is......."you poor blacks can't do for yourselves so let us be your providers and don't forget us when you vote".

The setting at the Imus show has become more and more of a bullshit session between he and the other guys in the studio. We, the audience, are basically just sitting in the room listening in. My friend and I both agreed that what actually happened was that they were discussing what they saw during the game, a bunch of rough, badass looking girls on Rutgers team, tatoos showing, game faces on. When he said "nappy headed hos" he forgot to say the words that would have made a huge difference in the interpretation of his comment.....he didn't say that they looked like even though it was inferred. He doesn't know those women and he was commenting on their looks and playing style, not who or what they are. His biggest mistake was thinking that just because he has raised over 10 million dollars for charity, has a ranch for kids of all races with cancer, heavily backed both John Kerry and Congressman Harold Ford Jr.'s bid for Senator(black) and is basically a liberal, that he would get a free pass to talk like a typical black man in an informal setting...... he's a white guy and the double standard will never let someone of a different race use the same words as blacks do themselves.

The biggest mistake blacks and other minorities make is that they allow words to have too much power. They can call me cracker or honky all day long and I will just laugh at their lame attempts to hurt me with words. Of course if they call me a liberal that might be a reason to "throw down".

My friend also agreed that all of this has nothing to do with Imus, his radio show is listened to by a very small audience and it's doubtful the Rutgers team even have a clue who he is and would have never even heard of the comments if an agent of George Soros wouldn't have run to the media when he heard it on the program he was assigned to listen too to find just such a comment. There is a much bigger target these enemies of free speech are after and that is conservative talk radio. They tried to get their own radio programs going on that joke called Air America and it was a huge flop(I heard much worse comments about our President on that propaganda pushing bullshit programming), the marketplace didn't want it. Now they want to force themselves onto successful shows......it is so blatant I find it hard to believe that anyone can't see it. They are setting us up and they need to be stopped!

I'm going to contact all of the sponsors of Rush, Hannity, Savage, Boortz, Dennis Miller and Opie and Anthony's shows and let them know that I will only continue to support them if they continue their support of these shows.

But as Media Matters for America has extensively documented, bigotry and hate speech targeting, among other characteristics, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ethnicity continue to permeate the airwaves through personalities such as Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh, Bill Oreilly, Michael Savage, Michael Smerconish, and John Gibson.
