He never should have left. The whole situation was a crock. Al Sharpton labels Imus a racist and demands that he is let go. Then, shortly after, he says about Mitt Romney in a debate "Those of us that believe in God will defeat those that don't." implying that Romney doesn't believe in God because he is a Mormon. Nothing happens to Sharpton. There is such a double standard in this country it is insane.

I think CBS did what most company's should do when an employee continues to get beside himself. I've been in meetings where a colleague repeatedly made racial comments about others, and if this type of behavior catches on, where would our organization be today? Generally, this kind of termination is done by companies all the time, it's just that Imus is in the public eye, therefore his firing was too. You know there are laws in the US on this type of behavior, and the courses of action that an empoyer (CBS) must take to rectify this kind of matter. You and I don't know what CBS has gone through in the past regarding this man's behavior. Imus may have already been at the end of the rope, and that this was the final straw. Who knows what went on behind the scenes before this incident???

I've heard his show a few times and his format never really appealed to me. Could care less if he's back on the radio, although I do think it was wrong that he was kicked off the air for one comment. Some people let there mouth run without thinking, and that is why he apologized, too bad some people can't accept that.

Why not? Its not like he has'nt done that kind of work. We have all said stuff we shouldn't have said at one time or another. Why do some people think no one can make a mistake but its ok if they do?

I think it is terrible. From a financial perspective, he doesn't need to work. He has a long history of the type of behavior exhibited in April, so I fully believe it will happen again. ABC is just asking for another lawsuit.

I don't. I never listened to him in the FIRST place. And as long as people don't "take the hint", he'll stay on the air as long as he wants too.

Its good firing was unwarranted he said a stuipid thing that some rappers say 100 time an album. He appologized and that should be it.

i have never heard him, I have heard OF him, but never heard his shows. I am happy he is working in a time of much-needed money.

If you make money for your corporate sponsors, I guess it doesn't matter what you say.
