15 minutes are up? I do! First he's yammering about Imus, and ( yes, it was wrong what Imus said to the Rutger's team but he shouldn't have gotten fired over it.) NOW, Mr. Sharpton is being a total hypocrite, and has made bigoted statements regarding presidential candidate Mitt Romney for being a Mormon- and not a Christian. Al Sharpton needs to shut his trap!

Hi Chula- well, to answer your question, I DO think what Imus said was very wrong, but he didn't deserve to be fired over it. He went and prayed with the Rutger's team, and they forgave him. But to me, it was like a witch hunt. I am not agreeing with what he called those poor women at ALL- I just believe the whole concept of political correctness has gone way too far. One can't say ANYTHING anymore for fear of reprisal. Have you ever heard Imus's show? It's nothing like Howard Stern- Imus makes fun of everyone. But I agree, what he chose to call the Rutger's team members was definitely a no no. I'm against him being fired because it just strengthens the fact that one cannot say whatever they want anymore, and that is dangerous territory. Censorship always is.

Chula, I reread my response to you and I made a mistake. Both Howard Stern and Imus make fun of everyone, but Howard is way more vicious. Imus's humor is a little softer. His show is very early, he's probably out of it and he just made a terrible comment about women he didn't even know. And no one should call anyone what he did. Everyone makes mistakes. That's the best I can do, Chula.

Sharpton is a bigot and a racist. He had no right to make those comments about Romney. He's back-peddling now to save face. He's got a big mouth and should shut up.
Mormons ARE Christian (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints). As a lifelong LDS member, I resent his comments! People don't have to agree but his comments were totally uncalled for.

I can't stand Al Sharpton and I do think that he is a hypocrite, but I'd like to hear more as to why you think Imus should have not gotten fired for saying what he said. I'm interested in hearing your opinion.

Al sharpton has been a bigot and a racists for years...
This has never stopped him before... the Lib media loves him and will continue to put him in the spotlight and give him free pass after free pass..
and as usual, he has no clue what he is talking about as the Mormon church is based on Christ... Thus called... The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter Day Saints.
I guess the Jesus Christ part in the tittle is too obvious for him...

Al Sharpton's job is to be a bigot and racist. If he wasn't he wouldn't get a paycheck. I wish he would quit calling himself a Christian.

I completely agree. Too bad his advertisers don't pull thier funding for his "radio show." It's a sad day in America when people like Al get say whatever they want, because people are afraid of coming under his wrath.

I think Al Sharpton is great!!! I love the way he makes a fool of himself.
on a serious note though the best thing about Al is that he really believes in what he is doing and even though he is not always right on the issues or accusing the right person of some heinous deed, he IS right sometimes. And the one time that he is right, because of his media power he will be able to set something straight.
until then he should be on SNL.

Sharpton is a Typical Democrat.
We have a lot of WHITE Democrats in Congress just exactly like him.
He's no worse than them.

Oh no, that guy should be denied of all public speaking privileges. He should be more concerned about Obama's past drug use if he wants to be a busy body.
He's such an embarrassment to the black community tearing down one of their own presidential candidates.
