I'm gonna get bashed for this, but this what everyone is talking about here in the good ole U.S of A. I-Man's comments were awful, just like CBS and MSNBC's decision to fire the guy.
I hope Al Sharpton is happy. He has led a crusade against Radio and Television personality, Don Imus and it has worked in the firing of the I-Man.
I for one, think that this is an outrage and a strike against our already deteriorating Constitution. While our moronic president, and those who control him, have wiped out the middle class and our bill of rights, we got this clown, Al Sharpton, running a crusade against the very same "free-speech" that he enjoys on a daily basis. I do not agree with what Imus said, nor am I condoning it.
But what does this mean for everyone?
I'm looking at you Ludacris, I'm looking at you right-wing pundits, and I'm looking at you America. Got any idea?
Well, just check out the book "1984", and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about.
Orwellian nightmares shouldn't be thought of at this point(in Imus's situation), but we are not just stepping in that direction, we are sprinting there.
What Imus said is nothing different than what rappers say and sell millions of copies to their fans.
Those girls from Rutgers do deserve an apology.
What was said about them was horrible, but firing the guy?
C'mon, if thats the answer I never want to see another black comedian use the nerd-guy voice when imitating white people.
Period.
No exception.
You make fun of white people?
Stereotype them?
You're fired. Oh, wait that would be racist, wouldn't it?
Thats not exactly how I feel, but if this was a crime against all humanity, than it should be dealt with the same across the board.
What about The Cosby Show? Remember that one?
How come every white character on that show was a dipsh*t moron?
Go back and watch a couple on syndication, you'll see what I'm talking about.
I cannot believe who I'm about to quote here, because I hate the woman. But Ann Coulter hit it right on in her column this week. Here's a quote:
" This wasn't an insult to all mankind, and certainly not an insult to Al Sharpton. Now, If Imus had called the basketball players "fat, race-baiting black men with clownish hairstyles," well, then perhaps Sharpton would be owed an apology. "
Thanks, Annie. I couldn't have said it better.
Thanks Imus, for entertaining me for the last few years, I hope Sirius or XM pays you as well as they did Howard.
F*ck CBS (How about that logo?) and MSNBC.
Sharpton can go to hell too.
I once liked him and thought he was a great activist. But now if this is all he has to worry about, I guess civil rights are doing FAR better than we thought.
Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

Alrighty then. So what is it? A little bit of racism is okay? Or alot? See: "German Army Tape Stirs Outrage". Don't nip it in the bud? Awwh shucks paw, ain't nothing but a little bitty leak in the ceiling. We don't need to do nothing bout it paw. Jus relax, everything gon be okay.
Did you yourself not say in one of your posts: "If it means making a better world for future generations, I will stand tall and spread the word of truth far and wide." (Upon reflection I can see you were lieing to us and yourself!!)
So you're going to hate Sharpton for trying to make the world a better place for people of color?
You'd better check yourself. Maybe you're a closet racist. Maybe you don't want to or care to know it.
And now you're surprised at the Illuminati becuase now it's no longer the so called lesser of society affected by the denial of human rights.
When the time was there to stand up and defeat injustice and hate in its infancy, it was none of your beez wax, right??!!!
But oh me, oh my, seems like it has become a little too late now. You now see you also mean nothing in the mind of hate. You're also now entraped and looking to get out! Mmmmm how does it feel. Sill don't want to fire the Iuminati?:cool:

I wasn't saying any racism is OK. I am not racist by any means.
I was just upset at the fact that this is going to spread like wildfire here.
Free speech also means offensive speech. When rappers go on and on about b*tches hos and the like, its ok. But maybe not for long.
You see, when the media gets ahold of something here, they tend to take it to the extreme. I don't want my favorite music (not rap) to be banned. I enjoy some talk radio, (coast to coast am) I don't want them to be shut down in the future. I get frustrated at watching the constitution get ripped to shreds.
Sorry to piss you off. I was just ranting, but I didn't mean to sound racist.
I still mean what I said before, and now my friends and I are starting to pass around some books and spread some knowledge around in a generation that has pretty much given up on books, knowledge, etc. Can't wait for Alice in Wonderland to arrive, just ordered it Friday!
I apologize, again. I'm still pretty new to this stuff, so please just take it easy.

This is a lame excuse for firing Imus. This is the weakest, most diluted and pathetic form of 'racism'. If you can even call it that. I've been called nappyhead before and I'm freaking white!
Please! This is a diversion! A pathetic one at that!

He was about to go public about 911? How do you know? Why not just get to the point, go for it? Why the detour?
Extremely stupid for a so called truth exposer. Speak truth not foolishness! You have a platform to disseminate truth and you go for Nappy headed Whores??? Lanugage that Imus uses all the time???? People are rushing to defend this? Rushing to defend this freak, this desseminator of hate and ugliness, this illuminati tool/fool. Yet they wish to hate and hang a defender of human beings??? I'm dumbfounded guys!!
Holy Freakoli!! I can only shake my head and think, what the freak is going on with humanity??? Will they ever understand? Can human beings, even after finding out so many truths, still remain so dumb and pathethic??
Simply mind boggling!!!:eek:

Free speech also means offensive speech.
So who's to blame? (I know Al Sharpton right - The race card, right - Oh silly me!) Why did he, if he's such a great guy innocent guy, going to nobly address the 911 issue, allow himself to be used as a destroyer of Free Speech???? Awww sweet Imus, he didn't know what the damaging results of his oh so innocent stupidity would result in. Yeah Ok.:rolleyes:
When rappers go on and on about b*tches hos and the like, its ok. But maybe not for long.
Isn't it the same Illuminati bandwagon, in control of the music industry, allowing a record deal to be struck if only the lowest gutter language is used, in order to program the youths of society, the only way these Rappers can get a penny???? (I know Al Sharpton, right - The race card, right? - Oh silly me!):eek:
You see, when the media gets ahold of something here, they tend to take it to the extreme. (And who controls the media and for what purpose? Ooops I forgot. It's Al Sharpton and The Race Card - Silly Me!):eek:
I don't want my favorite music (not rap) to be banned. I enjoy some talk radio, (coast to coast am) I don't want them to be shut down in the future. I get frustrated at watching the constitution get ripped to shreds.
(There's that constitution ripping Al Sharpton Again!!):eek:

Geee, I wonder who we can attribute that too?? Oh Silly Me - It's Al Sharpton and The Race Card!!
I apologize, again. I'm still pretty new to this stuff, so please just take it easy.
No need to apologize, you did nothing wrong in speaking your mind and your truth. However, all of us, myself included, can learn alot about ourselves from the words we write. I'm very easy. Just passionately putting forth my ideas/feelings!!:cool:

Drudge Promotes Imus Pravda Hoax
Attempts to link disgraced talk show host with 9/11 Truth Movement
Paul Joseph Watson
Prison Planet
Monday, April 16, 2007
In what seems to be a deliberate ploy to link disgraced talk show host Don Imus with Rosie O'Donnell and the 9/11 Truth Movement, Matt Drudge is promulgating a now confirmed hoax which suggested that Imus was fired because he was about to expose secrets about the 9/11 attacks.
As of early Monday afternoon, Drudge still carried a headline entitled, 'Pravda: Imus fired after threat to reveal 9/11 secrets' - which links to the Pravda website reprint of an article written by "Sorcha Faal," who runs a website which also claims that Turkey has shot down a U.S. warplane, that Vladimir Putin is responsible for a 70% reduction in the population of bees across the U.S., and also solicits donations on behalf of the "Sisters of the Order" under the pretense of saving the earth from cosmic destruction.
The story claims that the Imus controversy was a set-up in order to get him off the air before he could go public on 9/11 truth, and that Imus' racist comments, which he had routinely made, were blown up out of proportion in order to set the attack dogs loose.
This website is obviously either a deliberate disinformation outlet or the work of someone with a very over-active imagination, but verification that the Imus story is a hoax was confirmed by readers of 9/11 Blogger, who combed through podcasts of Imus' interviews with Tim Russert, in which he supposedly made the claim that he would expose 9/11 secrets, but drew a complete blank.

9/11 Hero William Rodriguez Tells His Story!
In this powerful and emotional DVD, produced by William Rodriguez himself, the 9/11 hero presents his incredible story of bravery and the subsequent honors and accolades he turned his back on in his search for the real truth of what happened that fateful day. Click here to buy the DVD or click here to subscribe to Prison Planet.tv and watch it online now in high quality!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Imus never made the statement attributed to him in this article, it has been invented out of thin air and the entire story is a manufactured hoax that only serves to discredit the 9/11 Truth Movement, which is exactly why the Neo-Con blowhards have given it prominence.
A deliberate attempt to link Imus' ignorant and racist comments with Rosie O'Donnell's controversial (yet completely accurate) statements and chill free speech as a whole is underway, with lying Neo-Con slugs like Tom Delay leading the way.
On Friday, Delay appeared on CNN and called for an organized campaign aimed at having Rosie O'Donnell fired for her comments about 9/11, despite the fact that O'Donnell simply asked questions about how Building 7, a 47 story building in the WTC complex that was not hit by a plane and yet symmetrically imploded in the late afternoon of September 11.
As we reported today, Neo-Cons are rejoicing at the fact that Rosie has supposedly agreed to shut up and talk about "other things" on The View, but in actual fact she plans to have 9/11 first responders on the show this week to expose the toxic dust cover-up scandal.
Again, Why The Detour? Oooooh No, Not Racist. Not oh so sweet, Lovely Imus????
1) The story claims that the Imus controversy was a set-up in order to get him off the air before he could go public on 9/11 truth, and that Imus' racist comments, which he had routinely made, were blown up out of proportion in order to set the attack dogs loose.

Not only is he a racist, but also a dumb frick!!:p
But alas, most of the time, like attracts like. I know at times, when we come face to face with the truth of who/what we really like, it's uncomfortable. If we're big enough, we grow. If not, we are free to remain embracing our gutter beliefs, forever.
Nuff Said!!:cool:
