“I like Imus.”

What does that say about you?

(Freedom of speech makes it easier to spot the idiots! Semper Fi!)

Imus is a Marine.

“The ‘Jigaboos vs. Wannabes’ comment was a reference to a Spike Lee movie”

Thanks for the explanation. Somehow, most news outlets failed to explain the comment, and it did seem absurdly mean without hearing about the movie reference.

Does anyone actually watch women playing basketball?

I would watch woman playing basketball sooner than I would watch Imus on his TV program make an ass of himself.

Just because Imus was in the Marine Corps doesn’t give him the right to make bigoted remarks.

Gee, what do you think would happen if Ann Coulter referred to “nappy-headed jigaboos”? Or Rush, O’Reilly, Hannity, or anybody else? Hell, they’d fire Howard Stern for that, but Imus is a wasted, incontinent old drunk, so nobody really cares.

Imus should respond to by singing this from the DFU archives of 2000 -—

(archives) DFU SONG: Both Sides Now (DFU says - IN YOUR FACE PC FASCISTS!)

NOTE: I am ready to explode over all of this PC crapola! People, lighten up and stop being so sensitive about every little thing that happens. DemocRATS, you brought us this stuff — we are going to ram it down your throats. May PC die a painfully horrible death as soon as possible.

MIDI - BOTH SIDES NOW
http://tomsmidis.com/index_files/Page349.html

Every white guy’s honkey scum…and every black’s a lazy bum

Italians all are Mafia…I’ve learned my history

The Germans started every war…each Catholic high school girl’s a whore

Colombians all deal cocaine…the Jews want things for free

I’ve looked around and I can see…I’m glad we have diversity

I hate all people equally…I don’t want anyone to live… next to me

Puerto Ricans love their knives…and athletes always beat their wives

Hispanics all have sneaked in here…each male dancer’s queer

An Asian woman cannot drive…why must a towel head be alive

A redneck’s IQ’s sixty five…the Irish chug their beer

I’ve looked around and I can see…I’m glad we have diversity

I hate all people equally…I don’t want anyone to live… next to me

Just because you’re a Freeper, doesn’t keep you from being a hypocrite.

p.s. you should change your tagline.

Did you ever watch the TV show "Futurama?" One time the cast crash landed on a planet populated by 12 foot tall women lead by a "femputer." The giant women explained that their most popular sport was basketball and, "our players can't dunk, but they know it more important to have good fundamentals." The male characters feel down laughing. Later they are led before the femputer, and after listing all the other terrible offenses the men have committed, one of the giants says, "And they even make fun of women's basketball!" The femputer says, "Did you explain the part about how the female players have great fundamentals?!?"

For making fun of the sport, the men are sentenced to death by "snoo-snoo."

Imus is a Marine.

More proof of my theory that 99% of Marines are outstanding human beings, and the 1% that aren't are total bags of crap desperately trying to balnace out the other ones.

This might get is butt canned. Rosie can felate terrorists and spit on the flag all she wants and get away with it but this whitey should know better than to slight the sistahs.

Is your post supposed to “be a warning” to others who would dare to share their thoughts on a topic?

Its my opinion. You have yours - I have mine. Lets co-exist without the nanny stuff.

“jigaboos”? I haven’t heard this word in years. Imagine a conservative host having a sidekick say this.

Heads would literally be exploding. I just got some snide remarks last night right here on FR regarding my screen name.

You're new here, so allow me to explain. It's part of FR etiquette that if you talk about another person's faults or mistakes to anyone, including the mods, you include the person you're talking about. Otherwise you're "talking behind their back.

Your comment contained racist language, and we don't need that bilge on this site. If you disagree with that characterization, just consider it my opinion--you know, you have yours, I have mine. Or, if you really want to test it out, go to the nearest club frequented by the hip-hop crowd, pick a group of women and call them (in a loud voice) "nappy-headed hos." Then, as nature takes it course, be glad that my wife and I both donated type O blood last week.
