Dangerous for a Southern politician, even one as liberal and effimate as former Senator Edwards, to defend an obvious bigot. Wonder why he is defending Imus?

[Txsleuth]

That was this morning before Obama called for Imus to be fired..and Imus was fired.

I actually think Johnny boy had his finger in the air as he was giving that interview..

Look for him to be cheering the firing tomorrow.

I guess he doesn’t need the nappy headed ho vote.

Cheap Shot: But, he won’t give FOX a second chance?

Hes not defending him all he is saying is he believes in forgiveness , one would think ‘reverend’ sharpton would be say something like this..

[taxesareforever]

He believes in forgiveness? If I am not mistaken he made his millions off not forgiving.

FGS, Imus hates Edwards; as far as I know, he’s never been on the show.

[FlipWilson]

This is a bit off topic, but did anyone catch the detestable Keith Olbermann on his own show or Al Franken on Larry King? They both used the Imus controversy to point to Rush, Sean, Glenn Beck, etc. as being the real problem. In other words, Imus is Rush, Rush is Imus.

Olbermann did his usual conflating and omissions of fact to ask the Rev. Jackson why he had not called for Rush, Beck and Savage to be fired since they are racists. (Translation, “hey, now that we have one scalp, maybe we can use this racism thing to silence those we disagree with like we did in the good old days!!!”) Of course, Olberman provided his usual assortment of out of context quotes and even quotes not related to race to disparage Rush et. al. Franken equated Imus with the poison airwaves, in other words, Rush and Glen Beck. He went on to tell Larry King he would fire Beck if he were in charge of CNN. If I were Glen, I would not count on CNN having him on too much longer. The cocktail party crowd is putting the heat on CNN.

Funny, Franken glanced over the fact that he appeared on the Imus show. Even better, never mind that Olberman was on the same network as Imus and never so much as condemned him for similar statements prior to this flap. Oh no, the real problem isn’t a guy who had a show every lefty leaning journalist lined up to appear on (hello David Gregory). No, the problem is really the poison airwaves caused by Rush.

These two men are the lowest form of scum on this earth. I hate to admit this, but I would love to meet Olberman and punch him in the face.

Edwards On Imus Spat: 'I Believe In Forgiveness'

Except for his neighbor...

[NRA1995]

"I believe in redemption, I believe in forgiveness," Edwards said of Imus

"and I believe in sueing him for the clothes off his back and every penny I can get from him!"
