Whilst we crucify someone like Imus for a slip of the tongue and a relative misdemeanor, real criminals are getting away with acts of racism and mass murder.

freedom of speech also includes the free will of employers to decide that they no longer want someone to represent them and the free will of advertisers to not have a given person represent their product any longer.
what imus did was bad for business, and that's his real crime.
how limbaugh, hannity and oreilly can say what they say, day after day, and never have as much as a peep said to them is a real testiment to the double standard that exists in this country.
last night ann coulter and glenn beck were on a panel of people discussing iums - how completely preposterous is that - both of them have said things way worse than anything imus may have ever said - and fox news INVITES them to be 'experts.'

Slip of the tongue? Interesting assessment.

Because it is political correctness run amuck. It's also racist. Black men call women "hos" all the time in rap songs and in movies. They also call each other "n**ger." I don't see the "Reverend" Jesse Jackson and that other idiot Sharpton saying anything about that. And I don't go around calling my white friends "honkey," "whitey," or "cracker."
