Like any other business, the radio industry will put anyone on who generates money for them. What Imus said was no more offensive than what Howard Stern says, and he has a thriving career on Satellite Radio. Anyone who has listened to Imus' show knows how gruff he can be. It would be comparable to buying a rap album and calling the singer 'racist' for the numerous times the 'N' word is used.
Imus was set up and the bottom line is that the radio stations lost $15,000,000 a year in ad revenue.

They allow those idiots Mark Levin & Michael Savage on the air every night. Everything they say is just as offensive as what Imus said. So if they can still be on why can't he? I say bring him back, just pay him less. Much, much less.

I think so. I agree with one of the other answers. He didn't say anything that was any more terrible than others have said on the air. I've heard that and much WORSE in the town I just moved from 6 months ago. Talk like that, unfortunately, was the norm and not the exception.

Freedom of speech is when you state your personal own opinion, what he said wasn't anything even worth listening to. He said really offensive and hurtful statements about women that really was uncalled for, he wasn't stating freedom of speech, he was stating that he's ignorant and immature not regarding other peoples feelings and reactions.
When you have a radio show, you should be able to realize WHAT you SAY people hear, that means you really should just keep such rude remarks to yourself.
Personally, I think he shouldn't be back on the air. It's common sense not to call someone a "hoe" on air. He doesn't talk with his mind so why should they waste air times for him to babble on useless nonsense.
He has nothing to say so get off the air

Yes I do. I am sick and tired of this race baiting the media is so famous for. It is getting to where people have to watch what they say or get locked up in jail. I would not be surprised if the lawmakers come up with a law making the N word illegal and punishable with jail time that only applies to Caucasians.

Not at all. He should pay dearly for his words of hate. I think he should be called a really bad name on the radio. Let's see how he likes it. Friggin' loser, calling people names. Nobody does that on the Internet or in real life so why should he get away with it on the radio? He should be held to the same standards that everyone else is. What does he think, this is free country or something?

Yes.
He's allowed the freedom of speech just like every other American.
People are too sensitive these days, it's pretty f'n pathetic.
The world will be a MUCH happier place when Al Sharpton is pushin up daisies.

don't see why he couldn't. A lot of radio personalities have said and done inappropriate things and have been allowed back on the air (usually with a new station).

Yes, He is a good man with a motor mouth that makes slips of the toungue-better than Howard Stern

Not that i agree with what he said, but i think freedom of speech should allow him to say what he wants. Everyone else does, why cant he? And us as listeners can decide whether or not to support and listen to him.
