i hate don imus. but did he deserve to lose his job over free speach issue? none of his words were illegal under FCC rules. does anybody that belttles anybody deserve to lose their job regardless of the work field? whats next- jail time? liberals, this ones on you guys. jesse and al are liberal hacks that are coming for you for your next slip of the tongue. even if imus meant everything he said, he didnt have to lose his job and ruin his carrear over it. tv personalities call prez bush worse things all day long, ut are they fired? so my question------is free speech only for black america anymore?

Apparently free speech means you can say whatever you want as long as it could not possibly offend anyone. No that is not quite right. You can offend anyone who does not belong to a couple of specific minority groups but you cannot offend someone who belongs to a minority group. At any rate it is ridiculous.
Free speech means free speech for everyone, especially those that you disagree with. If you do not believe in free speech for those you disagree with you do not believe in free speech.

He said or did nothing illegal, but what he said was morally wrong.
There seems to be a double standard when it comes free speech over racial items in our nation.
