No one says anything about Limbaugh and the other right wing radical talk show host NUTS and what they say almost everyday with racial slurs and such. Why crucify Don Imus for the same things no one says anything about with the right wing talk show host?

Why crusify any of them. What ever happened to freedom of speech? Did his statements cause them physical harm in any way? Did any of them actually hear his statements when he made them?
Al Sharpton is a typical political opportunist. He's a real peice of crap is what i'm saying.

This is just too funny to watch. Rush Limbaugh has never made a racist remark on his show. Don Imus has and is being crucified for it. How are you democrats going to handle it? Imus is a great supporter of democratic candidates and issues. Now one of groups you democrats have always taken for granted is finally going after him.
First the democratic establishment has that young upstart Obama screwing up Hillary's well laid plans now this? What will you do now that the black people in America have finally started to realize that the democrats need them not the other way around?
Rush Limbaugh? Now you are trying to drag him into this? I don't see any black people having a problem with Rush Limbaugh. He is a conservative and has pointed out many times that on most issues black people are conservative. Maybe you are afraid that they may realize that, too.

I remember during the last Winter Olympics, Bryant Gumbel made a crack that the Olympics really didn't represent the best athletes in the world? Why did he believe this? He said it was because there weren't enough black athletes.
I still don't understand why he wasn't he fired or suspended this comment. What a complete joke.
Can you imagine the uproar that would be caused if Rush Limbaugh has said that more whites are need in the NBA? The double standard is amazing to me.

Well, when you make your living proclaiming
"Duality".....one group of rules for one race, and a totally other group of rules for all the other races....
...it kinda gets hard to get attention when every RAP singer and black entertainer uses the alleged terminology on a routine basis.
...Al and Jessie are just looking for another RAcial shake down...you know neither work for a living so it probably is time for a
....legalized Extort-ism...you think?

Well, Limbaugh has never crossed the line that far. I listen to him everyday at work, he never goes that far. I think the farthest he has gone is with the song parody called Barack the Magic ***** ( to the tune of Puff the Magic Dragon )

When you consider that rap is full of that crap, you wonder why the ones bitching haven't been complaining all along.
O I think Imus acted like a real a.h. and it's not the first time.

Sharpton hasn't been busy lately. He needed the air time.

They shouldn't be picking on him; they've turned it into something bigger than it really is. They only reason they're doing it is for something to do.
