Actually, yes it is. If Howard Stern had said it would anyone care? Nope, he says worse on a weekly basis, this is politics, pure and simple.
And he said he left the commercial broadcast bands because the FCC was cramping his alleged style. I miss Howard Stern like I miss a turd in the punchbowl of life. I'll miss Imus as much.
And are you actually supporting your argument by comparing a radio show host with a drug dealer? Cause everyone knows the 2 are practically the same.
I agree. They're both pedaling mind rot in their own ways.
 
Imus sounds like an old tired record. Nothing but filth comes from the guy. He is so full of himsel he sounds idiotic to me.

It is like the song "He's so vain, he prboably thinks this song is about him..."
 
I'm eagerly waiting for Whoopi Goldberg to show up on Sharpton's radio show.

"Al, it's not hip hop artists who started this sh*t, it's me... I'm the one who named my production company One ho.
It's my fault."

Oh he's on a mission alright, it's called "The Search for More Money".

Actually, I do think most people have a selfish motive when it comes to money. Voltaire said it best "When it's a question of money, everybody is of the same religion."

You know nothing of what he's about other than what you project on him. You may be right and you may be wrong, but you do not know. You think you know because you believe in your mystic powers to read somebody else's mind.

Well yes I can read people's minds, but in this case I didn't have to, Sharpton's history of using racial bias to inflame events to his benefit are well known, as are his anti-semetic beliefs.

Yeah, that is one of the reasons Stern left CBS, along with more money, his displeasure having managements edit his broadcasts, and the lengthly commercials that interupted his shows. What's your point? He still gets paid to raise hell in the name of making money, what could be more american than that?

And you think radio broadcasts of material you disagree with is on par with one of the most addictive and deadly drugs on the streets? That must be what you're smoking if you really think that.

Data collected from the past, data you have never tested creates a sense of knowledge that is only prejudice. You know nothing but believe what you have been told. You may be right or you may be wrong, but you do not know. People have spent lifetimes in prison for crimes they did not commit.

I'm not sure I understand your point, didn't Al Sharpton instigate the deaths of 8 people when a Jewish clothing store owner tried to expand into a black community and Sharpton said they were going to put a local black-owned store out of business and called the store owner a "white interloper" which provoked a guy into entering the store and burning it down with a bunch of people still inside?

How about the time he accused ambulance workers from a Jewish hospital of not helping other people in a crash when they came to pick up a rabbi who had also been in the accident (it turned out to not be true, they did help). The riot he started by saying the "diamond merchants" shed "the blood of innocent babies" caused at least one Jewish guy to be killed.

But you're right, he sounds like he loves white interloping diamond merchants.

Imus is a shock jock, he gets PAID to say things that piss people off and get him higher ratings. He shouldn't have been fired and he shouldn't have been suspended. I highly doubt Al Sharpton really cares about this issue other than to get more people to listen to him. Short of that like the OP said Al only cares about white people making comments like that. If Imus was black no one would care about this.

Sorry but Imus is not and has never been a real "shock jock".

He's not one in my book. Sorry maybe listening to Howard Stern ( King of All Media ) has colored my view. I have always viewed Imus as a lame and old man who jumped on the whole "Shock Jock" band wagon ( but missed and fell right off ) because it was the way to ratings. A real "shock jock" would of never of allowed himself to be railroaded like Imus allowed himself to be over a stupid comment. A real "shock jock" would of gone down swinging. Simply put Imus was a wannabe who got slapped on the wrist and he cried like a baby as was lead out of the room.
 
"Al Sharpton is a liar and a bigot. He falsely accused Steven Pagones of rape and mutilation in the Tawana Brawley matter. He's never apologized. He incited murder at Freddie's Fashion Mart in Harlem while loudly denouncing white interlopers. No apology. Do you remember the Crown Heights Riot in New York? That's where Al Sharpton whipped a crowd into a four-day riot on rumors that a Jewish ambulance had failed to treat a young black at the scene of a disturbance after a car accident. There was Sharpton referring to "diamond merchants" shedding the "blood of innocent babies." Diamond merchants? Code word for Jews. Apology? None. And this is the man that that fool John Kerry calls the moral compass of the Democrat Party? And now what? Imus goes to Sharpton to apologize? And excuse me, but didn't I hear the words "Hymie Town" from Jesse Jackson? "

Too bad it won't happen. I wouldn't be surprised if Country music gets banned instead.

WOW! Imagine if both Rap and Country get banned!!!!! What a glorious day that would be 😀
