anyone besides me notice the humor in the headline "imus
fired"????????????????? {i misfired !!} rotflmfao

still have not seen them yet

it will come here sometime i guess

here why dilute the input

robin in the Chapelle skit the last name of the white folk is N.
in case you didnt know.

i think its a sad deal when a man can publicly appolagize for something
he said as a joke an not as a meaningfull or racist statement at all but
a joke no that wasnt enough had to make sure that he pays for what he
said boy its a good thing god doesnt make you pay for all your sins this
way where would you be now. wanna stop the racism then put a stop to
punishing people for jokes . ever listen to a richard pryer stand up or
dave chappel they both offend me very much i never knew how racist a
commedian could be an i liked pryer before i seen that show hes funny in
his movies . maybe we should look at this from a different side for a
change bet you cant to stuck on the race thing. from my point a public
appology should have been enough for anyone but not for them oh no its a
black thing not just a joke thing i dont beleive in being racist but
dont like it when they shove it down our throught an say shhh or your
being racist. maybe after a couple of decades im starting to get that
way because of crap like that . where is our hearts an the forgiveness
an compassion for our fellow man or women of any race that are trying to
make it here as an american .

you know some old friends might have noticed old doc hasnt been involved
to much in the political forums on this site, but i could npt help
myself or stay away from this topic.

I find it very interesting that a basic principle of our land has been
turned into an evil.

why doc whatever could you mean?

Im glad you asked;

I dont care what was said, or about whom, the color of any of their
skin, what I care about is the freedom of speech granted all americans,
not just any particular ethnicity.
Al Sharpton, and The Rev. Jesse Jackasson have decided that they and no
one else should dictate was is allowed to be said on the public airways
and that no one else has that same freedom as they.

"nappy headed ho's " while I will agree that it is both sexist and
racist in its tones, it was said as a shock jock humor that don imus has
always done. but the fact that it was said by an old white man and not
some gangster rapper made it oh so terrible.

the way that don imus was lead out in front of the nation on this, has
taken us one step closer to the censored era of the nazi's of the past.
this time instead of it being the arian brotherhood crap starting this
mess, its the al and jesse comedy tour. big difference between the two
groups, arias advocated no one being allowed to read say or see
different views, al and jesse, no ones but them can say any inflamatory
remarks.

show me a nation who stands proudly by its freedom of speach, then
allows a knucklehead to bash those very freedoms, and i'll show you a
nation with balls who is worthy of being defended.

watch whats going on in your country, be diligent in maintaining your
freedoms, and becareful that you dont sacrifice them under the premises
of political correctness.


thats about it, dont really care to get to far into this, thanks for
reading if you made it this far then theres still hope.


DOC

From what I understand, The girls on the team forgave the man after
meeting with him for over three hours. He was fired before the meeting
even took place.
It's frightening to me that these huge corporations are so intimidated
by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson that they'd throw someone who's been
there for thirty years(probably longer than any member of the board of
directors).
Have they all forgotten the Tawana Brawley case that imprisoned an
upstandind member of the community for years before he was cleared of
all charges? Have they forgotten the Himey Town comment from Rev.
Jackson? Al Sharpton has never apologized for his actions in the Brawley
case or many other inciteful stands he has taken. Jackson continues to
gain power through threats of boycotts and demonstrations.
The fact that such powerful entities cowtow to the likes of these men
(just because they jump on their soapboxes and scream the loudest) is
frightening. The media is in the buissness of getting the consumer to
watch their particular programs. The media is who has legitimized these
men. The media should watch out, Because Sharpton has made it clear that
none of the media is safe. Unless of course, They put down a white
person. That's o.k..

Updated: 10:21 a.m. CT April 13, 2007
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. - A small radio station intends to run the “Best
of Imus” next week in defiance of Don Imus’ firing.

Fred Lundgren, chairman of 1,400-watt KCAA (1050 AM), said the station
would start the series Monday with the program that wound up getting
Imus cashiered.

“I’m not going to let networks dictate to me who I run on my station,”
said Lundgren.


The station, which has broadcast the shock jock’s morning show since
2003, also plans to air mostly supportive listener mail and e-mail
reacting to the controversy.

The station can be heard in communities east and south of Los Angeles.
The Imus material also will be available on the station’s Web site at
www.kcaaradio.com Monday.

Calls late Thursday to Westwood One Inc., which syndicated Imus’ morning
program, were not immediately returned.

Lundgren said the motive for broadcasting the Imus reruns is in part
financial.

“I hate to say it, but without Imus, we’re pretty much toast,” said
Lundgren, adding: “What Imus did was deplorable, inexcusable, but it
shouldn’t end the career of a man who has done so much good. This is an
overreaction beyond anything I’ve ever seen in radio.”

Those remarks by Imus were terrible.

With that being said. I believe that the only people who can credibly
cast stones are those who have also publicly denounced the same kind of
speech from any other person or group. (example: rap music) If you have
looked the other way or promoted (promoted = bought CD's) this kind of
behavior, what ever your color, you should keep your mouth shut. I
really have not heard much criticism before now from the majority of the
so called "black community"
How easy it is to look at your neighbor and point out his faults, and
then scream that he is picking on you.

Armydoc-thank you! Once we allowed ourselves to be lead into the
wilderness of political correctness, we seem to have abandoned our grasp
on the fundamentals.
It's difficult to gain perspective from a narrow-minded nation
that relies on the media for its truth.

>>It's frightening to me that these huge corporations are so intimidated by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson that they'd...

So true.

parttime i dont think u have the right to tell anyone to shut up out
with the free speech hey what we going communist now only a certain race
can say what they want . how sad is that a person who is making a joke
maybe he didnt even think about what he had said . i dont like the stand
up comedian dave chapel for the reason that its ok for him to put down
whites maybe we should go after him next make him do a public apology
then fire him the same way oh wait hes not white wouldnt fly would it .
everyone has rights except whites black colledges / no white colledges
see minorites hired here all the time . no one else posted above that .
they also have gay rights . but no straight rights
i know you dont like what im saying but put yourself where i stand we
watch everything we say everywhere we go for fear we,ll offend someone
but everyone else can cut us down thats ok
seems like a life of having everyones rights but yours ramed down ur
throat but yours for something you have nothing to do with . if we want
to stop this hate we need to do it from both sides not just one because
you have the power of the media to do so.

they wont let me post my opinion keeps saying application rails

thanks for posting it

The Imus situation is just a perfect example of reverse racism,
something that is rampant in the states today. If one group can use
words, all groups can use them. Or do black people intend to put whites
on "the back of the VERBAL bus" now? Are they now trying to claim they
should be the only ones given freedom of speech? Just plain sick and
tired of all the double standards.

just a little story i picked up from violentacres.com




A Racially Charged Baseball Game
April 16th, 2007


This weekend, my husband and I took the children to a baseball game. As
we huddled close together, clutching lukewarm cups of hot chocolate, I
attempted to explain the game to my young stepdaughter.

“Which team do we want to win?” she asked.

“Well, do you see how some guys are wearing black uniforms and some guys
are wearing white? We’re rooting for the guys wearing white.”

We discussed the mechanics of the game and the appropriate cheer times.
All of the sudden, our team hit a home run. The fireworks went off, the
crowd went wild, and in the midst of it all, my stepdaughter screamed:

“GO WHITE GUYS! BEAT THOSE BLACK GUYS!”

My husband and I exchanged a look over her head and nervously surveyed
the crowd. A few people smirked in our general direction, but no one
seemed like they were reaching for the lynching rope yet. Neither one of
us wanted to punish her, because she truly meant nothing by it. But how
do you explain a child’s innocence to the few who are determined to take
offense to every little thing in this post Imus world?

While we contemplated this in the bleachers, our team was busy striking
out on the field. I leaned in and attempted to explain this new
development to my stepdaughter.

“Now the guys wearing the black uniforms are going to have a turn to
bat. Our guys are going to try to strike them out.”

Too loud for my comfort, she replied, “ARE ALL BLACK GUYS BAD? OR JUST
THE ONE WITH THE BAT?”

To make matters worse, I looked up at the video screen and noticed that
the guy currently holding the bat was, indeed, a black guy.

With a nervous laugh, I said, “Heh. No, the guys wearing the black
uniforms aren’t ‘bad.’ They’re just on a different team. I mean…I’m sure
they’re really nice guys and everything. We just happened to be rooting
for the guys wearing white.”

Heh.

Heh.

Back on the field, a guy from the black team managed to steal a base.
The crowd started booing.

“Why are they making that noise?” my stepdaughter asked.

“Someone on the other team stole a base,” I told her.

“BOO! BLACK GUYS SHOULDN’T STEAL! BOO!”

We had nosebleed seats. For a second, I considered hurling myself over
the edge of the balcony.
