Imus Fired From Radio As Well

WFAN-AM ^ | April 12, 2007

You are not allowed to say anything to or about a minority.

They can call you names all day long - look at any black entertainment figure but you guys have to shut up.

[kabar]

I know. But he’s non-PC, and they want to get rid of all non-PC radio jocks, whether conservative or not.

Agreed, Imus is the pretext to crackdown on talk radio. They can do it two ways, i.e., thru regulation and intimidation. This also empowers Sharpton who is battling with Obama on who is THE black leader. Sharpton doesn't appreciate being replaced by Obama as the token black candidate. He also misses the perks that go with it including money. This is just the opening salvo.

Very good letter/e-mail, JMC.

I'll tune into WFAN once more this week -- just to put together a list of sponsors to post here on FreeRepublic in case anyone wants to stop doing business with them.

“I would not call what ESPN does journalism”

The point is do not people indeed get fired for things they say? Isn’t that the issue?

I'm busted. I snatched that this morning. I was half asleep. And I hadn't had any coffee. And I was doing a live Imus thread.

Would it help if I said I was black as well?

Sharpton on CNN Headline news gloating over another race victory.

I was never a listener, but I am outraged at the thought that a white man cannot say something stupid and appologize for it. Others have and will continue to.

tooo funny...

Happy Birthday, Howlin. Enjoy every minute of it.
Peace and blessings,

“Do you think Rosie is scared yet?” Geez, I can only hope!!

[JOE6PAK]

Hillary’s media goon squad march on!

[maica]

The dirty little secret on the elimination of Don Imus is that, although generally liberal, he was strongly opposed to Hillary Clinton being elected President.

######

Correct! And he has been on Hillary’s TO DO list since 2000. This week’s comments just provided the opportunity. The motive and means have been there for years.

[WakeUpAndVote]

I don’t care if you snag it. I just have to be creative and make more.

Thanks for putting it on another server though. I am waiting for the one that I am using to get pissed at me.

[Crawdad]

I hope Imus calls his AA sponsor. I would certainly call mine.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Apologies are worthless. Imus should never have gone on Sharpton’s show and should have just told all of them to take a hike.

Further, he should have made it clear the issue was between him and the 12 or 13 young players and everyone else should go to hexx.

[McGavin999]

I never watched or listened to him, but then, he's a shock jock and I'm not espeically fond of being shocked. However, I am a BIG believer in someone being forgiven once they legitimately apologize and actually mean it. His apology over the radio means nothing, but is apology to the young women he insulted will mean a lot.

The children should not lose out because of some of these cowards out there. The sponsors who pulled out should be required to make up the difference between what he needed to raise and what was raised.

Poooh!! Bo was unleashed on Fox’s Big Story with John What’s-his-name! Dick Morris was the other guest and thank goodness he and Bo weren’t in the same room! It was something!

[ncpatriot]

Nobody will touch Rush...there are too many of us.

You are right. At my age, I would march on Washington for free speech.
