I-Man -- I Was Just Being "Sarcastic"

Don Imus just pulled out the S-card -- sarcasm -- to defend himself against charges that he's a straight-up racist.

On his radio show this morning, he said he was just trying to "make a sarcastic point" when he asked yesterday, about arrest-happy NFL player Pacman Jones, "What color is he?" As Imus tried to explain, "What people should be outraged about is that they arrest blacks for no reason. I mean, there's no reason to arrest this kid six times."

As the I-man himself put it: There you go. Now we know.

121. The first time Imass slammed his foot in his mouth. It Turned MS- NBC into the national black channel. They went into the tank for Obama. Morning Joe and hoe, pushed Obama 24/7. Imass needs to retire. Forty years on radio is enough, They should also get rid of that CNN sour puss King he is Imass's evil twin.

Obama and wife sat thru twenty years of the rev Wright. They loved those hate speeches. They should have suffered like Imass. THEY SAW NOTHING, HEARD NOTHING. Liars... I can not vote for racists.

126. God, when is this Imus guy gonna die already? The wrong people have been dying lately. Sensible people like McKay, Russert, and Carlin are passing on. By this dusty old fart is still alive making "sarcastic", racist remarks on air. Life is definitely not fair.

Lmao @ meeeeeeee, "Kiss the black man's ass" classes lol.

127. Not only is he caught making another racist remark - he tries to throw hardworking cops under the bus with his justification that his "sarcastic point" was that Pacman was singled out by cops because of his color.

What a loser!

128. I'm certainly glad that Imus has not lost his job. He can continue to make millions while an endless parade of cancer kids cleans up the horse poop on his ranch.

129. WHY PICK ON HIM? SHARPTON. JACKSON & EVEN OBAMA'S FRIENDS-PASTOR ARE RACISTS! & THE WHOLE WORLD HEARD.. It'S NOT FAIR... WHERE WERE SHARPTON, JACKSON ETC.... WHEN REV. WRIGHT (YOU KNOW, BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA'S FRIEND & PASTO LIKE UNCLE) SAID AKLL HIS RACISTS REMARKS? IT'S NOT FAIR... I DIDn"T VOTE FOR OBAMA & I NEVER WILL... & I HAVE NO-MORE RESPECT FOR HILLARY EITHER (she is now supporting him) HILLARY SHOULD RUN INDEPENDANT & SHE'LL WIN...
