2. Anyone who has listened to Don Imus for any amount of time, knows that he says shocking things about people, groups, etc., ALL THE TIME. His show is "his little kingdom" and nobody, and I mean nobody, dares to disagree with him on that show. That's why I stopped listening long ago. There is no dialog happening. All his little lackeys just agree with him.

It's really not surprising that he went "over the edge". I saw this coming years ago. I have long since stopped listening to him because his attitude was such a turn off and who wants to hear a show where nobody dares to disagree with the host? Borning.

Frankly, I'm thrilled he got busted. Maybe it'll put a little humility into the guy -- but I doubt it.

3. Imus now looks like an old woman physically and I don't know in what era his mind is stuck. He should consider the strong possibility that his time in the limelight is over and that he's no longer relevant.

6. How come when a white person says something about African Americans there are huge press conferences and the racist card is ALWAYS played but when African Americans makes jokes about whites its funny?

7. Why is there all of this outrage for his comment but not for Isiah Washington? I don't understand the double standard. Why didn't Isiah Washington go on Al Sharpton's show and apologize to gay people?

8. First of all to Cool kid!You really should take a course in spelling!Don Imus has done more for children and our soldiers than anyone in the United States!He has a checkered past and does not mind telling everyone about it!He may be a little over the top,but he is still the most watched talk show host on morning TV!So he made a mistake,get over it!I have.I will keep watching him and forgive him!!!!!His wife and him do very good things.Check out all they have done for people.People,people, people have a little love in your hearts!There are a lot worse things going on in the world than Don Imus!

9. While I in NO WAY think what Imus said was ok....if you have listened to his radio show for any length of time you would know that this is his "schtick"...he abuses everyone, which is something I have found unappealling and no longer listen to him. However, if we DO insist that people are racially and "politically correctly" censored on "free" radio, regardless of who they are - Opie and Anthony, Whoopi Goldberg, Imus to Steve Harvey, then we have lost who we are supposed to be as a country. Unfortunately, the price for freedom of speech is what we are seeing here. We are not always going to like what someone says, but as of today, they still have the right to say it. Remember, if we start to censor people we don't like, then we start to erode our own personal rights and freedoms. And the true color in America IS green. If enough people don't listen to him, he will lose his popularity and in turn lose his show, but do you really think this will happen? This story is really more about us as a country than just Imus.

10. Imus has been a phony in so many ways for so long, from his "long hair", which unlike the majority of older men has never changed or thinned over the years(his brother Fred is bald as a bat) and still shows no discernable hairline or scalp, to his phoney Imus Ranch for kids with cancer, which was featured in Architectural Digest. The ranch is a luxurious, palacial estate which hosts children for only 3 or 4 months a year, but which is really a vanity project built with tax free donations destined to serve as his vacation and plush retirement home.
Compare this Southwest Palace to Paul Newman' s , Hamilton Jordan's or any other such camp for stricken children.

11. I watch Imus every morning also. It is a COMIC program people, and he has offended everyone at some time or another. I may not agree with his comment, but that girl's team did look rough, like right off the streets of South Central. And those tatoos-you're not allowed tats that large in the Marines. He made a big mistake going on Al Sharpton's show. He has no history of de-fussing any situtation. Enough already.

12. Imus keeps saying "this is a comedy show". I don't listen to his show, and only became aware of his comments when I heard them reported on the news. I went to the dictionary to look up the word "comedy". The following is what I found:

comedy........a noun
comic entertainment......entertainment that is amusing
comic elememt......the humorous aspect of a situation

Then I went to a theasaurus, to look the word up. The following is what I found:

comedy.......a noun
Synonym.........funniness, joking, amusement, entertainment, humor, wit,
jesting, downing, slapstick, farce, pleasantry
Antonym..........tradgey

That's jjust what this was a TRADGEY, there was no humor, nothing funny or entertaining about what this person said. It was very sad, very ugly and most distasteful, and for ANYONE to accept this type of behavor is beyond me and most people that I know.

Fire his ASS!!!!!!!!!!

13. I think the attention this has received is rediculous. Why is Mr. Sharptin more concerned about Don Imus than the nasty and negative language used in RAP. It seems that only the white race has or is slowly loosing our freedom of speech. There are more important things to be concerned with than the stupid comments of a morning TALK show!!

15. It's not about black or white, it's about respect for others. Make a joke about the basketball game, the loopsided victory, how Rutgers was outplayed on the court. That's a joke, not attacking the team's personal appearances. They are first and foremost people. They accomplished much just by being in the championship game and all that is going to be remembered is the negativity caused by callousness and indifference and the need for a "joke". It's sad. But what's sadder still is the reaction of those who see nothing wrong because it was a joke. "He said he was sorry, why isn't that enough" remarks show just as much indifference. It goes back to lessons learned in childhood - people resort to name calling when they have nothing else intelligent to contribute. As for apologizing, that fine and well, but again back to childhood - Sorry doesn't always make it right. Run me over with a truck, tell me you're sorry, but I'm still bloody, battered, bruised, and it sure still hurt !!

All I'm saying is forget the black and white issues, why reward the good hard work of group of young college students by attacking their personal appearances.
