Imus: "There Is No Malice in My Heart"

With his suspension not taking effect until next Monday, Don Imus took to the air today for WFAN's 18th Annual Radiothon to try and raise money for a good cause -- and to apologize. Again.

"I am horribly sorry I said it," he bleated this morning. "I know how it hurt these kids and they're going to tell me. But everyone knows what I've been doing for 30 years. It was a joke." Oh yeah, he's a riot.

MSNBC announced yesterday that it was dropping its simulcast of the "Imus in the Morning" radio show, after his disparaging remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team. CBS Radio has suspended Imus for two weeks, effective April 16.

50. #25 "tired of this crap"

I'm tired of YOUR crap. Stop making up obvious, untrue stories, just to drill your point.

There's enough going on in the world that you DON'T HAVE TO MAKE UP ludicrous lies that NONE OF US BELIEVE, ANYWAY !

GET A REAL LIFE

51. If the news people and Sharpton had not made a big deal about this, I would have not even have heard it. Who's to blame? If you do not like Imus then don't listen. If we are shuting down Imus let's shut down BET network for all the video's that are degrading to women. I sure we could start a long long list of who is offensive. GET OVER IT....AND STOP MAKING A BIG DEAL OUT OF SOMETHING THAT IS NOT..

52. GIFT HORSE -

I don't understand why you are held back by names, by words from ignorant people?

The words against Jews, finding swastikas painted on their homes, TODAY, not yesterday, do not allow those acts of ignorance to keep them stuck in one place.

Racial slurs against Christains, against the Japanese - they don't stop breathing, stop moving forward because of it. In fact, in defiance they force themselves forward, without rioting and burning down and looting their own neighbors and friends to show their "pain and suffering". It makes NO SENSE. It's called cutting your nose off to spite your own face.

it is time to MOVE ON.

53. Imus... listen to what Joe Scarborough said last night. If CBS Radio cancels your radio show, please go to XM Radio so those of us who are your fans can continue. I miss you, Charles, Bernie and Chris.
You will make more money, be yourselves and make more money to continue with the Imus Ranch for Children with Cancer. Tell all these folks who should be looking at themselves before condemning you to kiss your you know what.

54. MSNBC acts as though it is taking the high road here by canceling Imus, however they have had nothing but this BS on their station 24/7 since he amde the comments. I'm going back to CNN

55. I'm glad MSNBC dumped Imus--stupid is the least of it. I hope CBS does too.

56. I also think that MSNBC has an issue with Imus' age and are using this issue to kiss him goodbye.. He is the oldest program host they have all the rest are younger and some wear real short skirts but all are terrible hosts but I'm sure the young ones make Dan Abrams happy.. I always gave the news shows on MSNBC TV the benefit of the doubt, but their programming is horrible the only two shows I ever watched was Imus and Scarboro, and now I'm down to one.. Bring on the fair and balanced network..

57. Yes, how is he going to run this ranch if he does not have his show to advertise it for free. He was always pushing this crap on air all the time. The ptb let him put this stuff on air for free. He goes there a few times a year and has a few kids there about 10. Flies around the country on a private jet, chauffeur limos, lives the high life. Yes, if I had his easy life I would buy myself a big ranch spread, get donations from corps, and spend a week yelling at kids making them do chores and then send them back home. What does he have to complain about?

Posted at 4:06PM on Apr 12th 2007 by I totally agree with you

58. Who picked the picture Sharpton? How offended is this team? Maybe someone should be checking their CD collections, their MP3 players, and their DVD collections to find out. How about a list of the movies they have seen in hte last year or two. Could be quite interesting. Who knows maybe they paid to hear a little slander now and then.

Out of curiosity does anyone know whether either Sharpton or Jackson have ever used the Imus show to promote their agendas. Being the little media whores they are I would be very surprised to hear they have never called in to that show, to promote their brand of racism.

59. I have a daughter that was born without an arm....what next.... Imus can call her a one armed ho because of freedom of speech. He needs to go!

To: URaSlut And The Other Imus Plants!!!


It is obvious you, and others do care about my comments, or you would never have addressed them in the first place. Clearly, this is a concerted effort to defend Imus, by attacking his detractors. This organized campaign is as see through as they come...and nobody is buying it. You people are on the payroll of imus...and others of the well intrenched Hate Radio and Hate TV...which are run and owned by Conservative Extremists (KKK and Nazi) !!!

You are Plants who falsely believe you can influence public opinion via posting bogus comments. Well, it's not working. Imus will fall...and you will be next. And God is watching...and knows who each and everyone of you is...and you can bet your souls, or what's left of them...that he doesn't like what he is seeing. Get your twisted acts together!!!
