this is **** horseshit. the man is a **** SAINT (and yes, i am VERY serious when i say that), and to take him out of power because he said something un-PC (he\'s said FAR worse things on the show, imo) which someone decided to make a big deal about is absolute **** blasphemy.

all he said was something about nappy hoes right? people need to stop being such pussies. (imho)

All the good thing he\'s done, all the money he\'s raised for the kids with cancer, fallen hero\'s fund, unforently doesn\'t mean **** if you say one wrong thing.  He was probably Harold Ford Jr\'s. biggest media supporter.   I mean come on, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson have said stuff just as bad about Jews.  Its ok for them, but Imus becomes a martyr.  **** that!

**** false outrage PC bullshit. everyone wants something to be mad about.. something to make a big deal about.. rather than accept an apology, take away a man\'s livelihood because it\'s the only thing that will help you deal with your "outrage".

for once, could a boss grow a set of balls and stand up for their employee? can someone go to **** bat for a guy that has all the money in the world and still goes to work every day because he does nothing but GOOD THINGS with that money for OTHER PEOPLE??

but no, msnbc thinks it\'s a good idea to get him off of the airwaves. and when do they decide to do this? the very day before imus goes on the air in the morning to kick off WFAN\'s 18th annual radiothon benefiting the Tomorrows Children\'s Fund, the CJ Foundation for SIDS and the Imus Ranch.

imus doesn\'t need the **** money. he spends his days working for and going to bat for other people who DO. but all those charities are now losing out on the radiothon being nationally televised in the morning, because msnbc wants to protect people from the awful man who is imus.

all because people need something to be mad about, and this is all they could find.

want to know what don imus gets mad about?

don imus got mad about the death benefit for troops being only $12,000, and worked to get it raised to $500,000 when no one in congress wanted to do a damn thing about it.

don imus got mad about Joe Barton preventing passage of the Combating Autism Act, which would authorize funds for autism research, and the fact that no one seems to care about the autism epidemic in america.

don imus got mad about little kids having to live their lives with cancer, and opened the imus ranch to help show these kids that they can live a normal life and help give them confidence and self esteem.

don imus got mad about the complete lack of care given to our troops upon returning home from war, and helped build the Center for the Intrepid by raising over $10,000,000 through the fallen heroes fund and personally contributing over $300,000.

but no one cares about petty things about that. all that matters is taking enormous offense to being the butt end of a bad joke, and taking no prisoners while getting your revenge.

not to mention that it would have been hilarious if **** chris rock said it.

imus\' comments don\'t make me outraged - clueless, selfish, idiots do.

Ive always liked Imus and this was really a shock to hear. It is bullshit and you should hear these sensitive broads crying on NPR and what not because Imus insulted their \'team\' or their \'family\'. Imus also makes fun of a lot of people on a daily basis as well as himself. hope the people at msnbc take a huge loss for this..
They gave Sid a few chances but he obviously had more issues and they werent gona keep him around and run the risk..Imus is definatley a cynical but good man

But anyway, wasn\'t MSNBC just simulcasting the radio show on television? He still has his radio show, no?

as of right now he does..

Don Imus has been doing this type of humor for 30 years, both on the air and in live performances (which he stopped doing a while ago).  I have old album of his called "This Honky\'s Nuts" recorded in the 70\'s.  It is filled with profanity, drug references and all kinds of derogatory comments about Blacks, Jews, Hispanics, etc.  Why after all these years, has this become a big deal?  People need to lighten the **** up.   It\'s not like he has just targeted the Blacks.  Everyone has been fair game.  And don\'t get me started on Jackson and Sharpton.  This is a travesty of freedom of speech.  If you don\'t like what\'s on TV or radio change the channel.  I want find out which advertisers were going to pull out so I can boycott those asswipes.
