fuck this, fuck that, fuck you.

thats called freedom of speech, he can say anything he wants, and if you dont like it dont listen. i dont understand what the big issue is anyways. dont listen to him if you think he is an idiot. but to whine and cry about it later is just plain stupid...

oh, and the last i heard, distasteful comments were still protected by the 1st amendment, you people as pornographers should NOT be supporting people stepping on the only thing standing between you and jail(given the GOP had thier way)

Did you know he was in the middle of a radiothon? Over the past 18 years, he has raised over $50 million for charities.

He also has done a ton of work for sick kids with cancer.

Were all victims here.

The media is being irresponsible.

If they don't watch what they are doing, they are going to have your neighbors knocking your door down with guns, to get YOU before you get THEM.

the beauty of the 1st amendment is the fact that you can piss in peoples cheerios and they have to swallow it.

its a great thing till your on the receiving end, init?

it's funny
 

It's funny when people like you only get upset when it happens to a "white"

Just before this happened, Tim Hardaway and Michael Ray Richardson were fired for comments about gays and Jews.

However, since they are not "white" I guess they do not get to enjoy FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

I guess only "whites" should keep their jobs when they exercise FREE SPEECH.

you beat me to this comment...Howard and Imus will be high fiving for sure!

It's like this your best friend or spouse can call you an asshole prick or cunt. But go to Exxon and the lady behind the counter does it, how would you feel? A woman can call her best friend a bitch or slut but if you do it... A father can call his son a good for nothing son of a bitch sissy fag, but if I did it....The Chief of Police can call one of his officers a lazy so and so, but if you do it. A chinese person can call another chinese person a dink but let the Mayor of New York say it. Do you get it now. Why would you want to say it in the first place?:2 cents:

sad day. I don't listen to him, but I don't beleive in political correctness or restriction of freedom of speech and appeasing Jesse Jacksons, Tawana Browlees and Sharptons of this world

You don't have free speech on someone else's dime, on Government Monitored Airwaves.
You don't have a right to say what you want unless you have your own pulpit, and you are not infringing on someone else's rights.
Everyone is crying freedom of speech. This was just a straight out personal insult.
College students, and peoples children are not fair game.
Most media has the respect not to fuck with peoples kids who are in the public eye, now you can just spit crap on women trying to get an education, and playing for a championship?

...and please stop talking as if Al Sharpton is some kind of "Leader of all Black People". WE ARE NOT A GROUP! WE ARE INDIVIDUAL AMERICANS JUST LIKE YOU. NOT SOME MYSTERIOUS ENTITY
WITH A GENERAL SPOKESPERSON.

Nice!:thumbsup

...And another thing for those people saying "it's freedom of speech" Go to you local mall or grocery store and call every woman you see a stupid bitch and watch what happens to you when you say I have the freedom to say what I want.:1orglaugh

that or rappers calling women ho's and bitches thats fine I guess.

I have no arguement with you there..
Actually... I had no idea who the guy was other than seeing him on some news show awhile back, so I've never listened to him, but the point is... The Rutger girls didn't listen to him either... They were just playing basketball and he felt the need to throw a quite disrespectful comment directly at them because he thought he could...

Just as yourself, I'm not one to be offended by such talk, by his type, comedians, or anyone else that says stupid stuff.. It's too easy to consider the source, ignore it, and go on about my business..

But.. this is a case where The folks at Ebony Magazine started an uproar, the hypocrite team of Jackson and Sharpton followed suit and all went from there..

I don't think he needed to be fired. He could have turned this into something very positive with his apparent influence and with the good things that he's done..

Maybe things will turn around because of this and perhaps others, in other genres, may now be held more accountable for their actions...

Man he got a double whammy there.

He insulted black people and women in general. lol :1orglaugh

It's all about the advertisers...:)

Right on!

Imus wasn't going to get the boot until AFTER the sponsors started pulling out.

WHY did the sponsors start pulling out?

One word: Boycott

It had nothing to do with what Imus said, it had something to do with money and stockholders.

End of fucking story.
