Because Rosie attacks Bush and the administration...The media loves and supports that stuff.

Imus said something unflattering about (primarily) blacks and that is not part of the media's Liberal agenda.

Seterith...Apparently you only support freedom of speech if you happen to agree with the speech. What's next...Burning books?

The same reason Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell and Ann Coulter can say such hateful things everyday....It's a free country. But do PO the guy paying your bills like Imus did.

Because Rosie attacks Bush and the administration...The media loves and supports that stuff Not Many People Support Bush Because He Has No Idea What He Is Doing In Office.

Imus said something unflattering about (primarily) blacks and that is not part of the media's Liberal agenda Plus It Is Not Correct To Make Fun Of Someone Just Because They Are Not Of The Same Skin Color As You.

Because Rosie attacks the country, president and social injustices. Imus attacked young women personally and racially,who are achieving their goals in life.

because Rosie is a USA hater. Imus is not. Rosie is gay. Imus is not. Rosie is politically "correct" Imus is not. I have never watched the view. I do not know any of the women's names except R. OD. whom I do not agree with. So their view is of less importance than the trash i throw out in the morning. koffee klashing dumb women who after the program have "something to talk about" is who watches it.

It was the subject of his bizarre comments that got him into trouble. Rosie O'Donnell, being a woman, is automatically excused from making comments against women. If she comes out and starts mouthing off about race, however, watch how fast SHE is forced to beg the public for mercy. There are just some topics that need to be more well-thought out before you start flapping your mouth about them. Race is at the top of that list, and well should it be.

Because Rosie's viewers like it when she says something crazy. Because The View doesn't lose many viewers. Because the victims of Rosie's comments aren't a group that has historically been persecuted.

While, personally, I don't see this as being this extreme...

Imus made a comment about a group of people that have been enslaved, tortured and killed, and systematically discriminated against.

Rosie makes comments about a group of people that, historically, have NOT been enslaved, tortured and killed, and systematically been discriminated against.

When you're grandpa was hung from a tree just because he was black, you tend to be a been jumpy about anyone making any negative comments about you.
When your grandpa was rich and well respected, you tend not to be so jumpy, you know?

Because Rosie O'Donnell is a minority (lesbian), and Imus is a white male. I don't think his remarks were racial, just degrading to women. And none of them will lose their jobs until people stop paying attention to them.

There're people in the entertainment industries lost their jobs, connections and roles on many opportunity because rosie put brake on their career.
