There must be.... Rosie sure does get away with it on 'The View'. Oh, but she's a fat-gay woman, she can say pretty much anything she wants. I say "ching chong ching Fire Rosie chong chong ching" I don't think I've ever even heard Imus before this. I think in the long run, they did him a BIG favor. The man has so many fans...he will certainly end up on cable/satellite/internet where he can say whatever he wants. I for one, think I will tune in from time to time to hear what he has to say. I do have one question though, Has a black man ever been given so much grief for trash talking white people? What about the black men that use 'That word'. Ever have one of them taken off the air for being offensive? I think not. 577295@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Apr 2007 16:33:10 EDT Comment by Al Barger on The Fall of Imus and the Culture of the Unforgiving http://blogcritics.org/archives/2007/04/16/053658.php#comment-577217 Sid asks "Is there some constitutional right to make $10 million a year spewing hurtful and hateful comments?"

This guy has been saying stuff like this for 30 years. When is enough enough? Can't we forgive him and still take him off the air? Is there some constitutional right to make $10 million a year spewing hurtful and hateful comments? Good riddance. 577194@blogcritics.org Mon, 16 Apr 2007 10:54:39 EDT
