Anybody notice Imus this AM?

[ewagner]

I was flipping through the channels and happened to hit MSRNC...they were showing live pics of Condi at the State Department and ....I know this is right because I called my wife in to verify it....while Imus was showing that picture, they were playing the Stones Brown Sugar as the bumper/background music.

I was floored........

Repub values at work......it was the most demeaning thing they could have done....

Anybody else notice this?????

1. Imus is an idiot.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why he has a show.

[Vinnie From Indy]

4. Amen! I wrote IMUS the other day

In my letter I pointed out that Bush would never need a "monica" to visit him because guys like you are getting on your knees for him every morning.

[rqstnnlitnmnt]

5. worse -- imus is a racist

this has been brought up too a bunch of times before. it doesn't surprise me.

unlike liberals, republicans actually see and take note of the color of condi's skin. we don't give one damn about it. and they have the nerve to call us racist -- do they even know what the term actually refers to?

by bringing the color of condi's/gonzalez's skin into the argument, the republicans have amazingly indicted themselves as the racists. it's all too hilarious.

[BlueManDude]

30. It's more acceptable to be racist today than to be

"politically correct".

[merh]

6. Bad enough he has a radio program (& followers)

but geeze louise, a radio program that is broadcast on television. It's like a very bad version of WKRP in Cincinnati! :puke:

[The Backlash Cometh]

18. MSNBC's rating are dropping and they can't figure out why?

How can they be so stoopid? When you start your morning with a downer like Imus, what do you expect?

[WildClarySage]

2. Good god

and they tried to play the race card on *dems*???

[ewagner]

3. Yes.....

Ironic isn't it?

[katinmn]

7. OMG. That is so blatantly demeaning.

Our country is becoming so twisted.

We're regressing as a society.:-(

[CatWoman]

8. Time to call the assholes on talk radio on this

Rush et al keep harping on the Doonesbury strip that referred to Rice as "Brown Sugar".

so its okay for Imus to do it, but not Trudeau?

[SPDBoston]

10. Imus is a Republican?

I thought he was a Democrat. What do Republicans have to do with his show content?

[skylarmae]

11. if you think Imus is a dem, then my friend

my senses say you may be a Repub in dems clothes.

[SPDBoston]

12. Please don't make assumptions sky

I actually worked for John Kerry for a year, and I know that the Senator enjoyed a very good relationship with Imus.

Imus often commented he was voting for Senator Kerry and we looked at the show as an ally and not a negative force.

This is the reason I don't post often on here. You give a contrary response and suddenly I'm a Republican.

[adigal]

15. I don't think Imus knows what he is

He changes his mind every day - another victim of drug abuse, like his friend Bush.

[Norquist Nemesis]

17. In the run up to Nov 2nd Imus said many times

that Kerry was "his guy". But, to be honest, his comments were not very supportive of him. While his relationship may be genuinely friendly, his actual words regarding Kerry's campaign were highly critical IMO. It made one wonder why he said Kerry was "his man" with the only logical explanation being ABB.

[skylarmae]

22. SPDBoston, I didn't mean to offend. It's just that Imus is a joke

He blows with the wind. Even though he spoke up for Kerry, in the very next breath he would disparage him. It's all about good cop and bad cop with those guys on his show. Someone had to be for Kerry and he must have drawn the short straw. But the wishy washyness of his support and the demeaning things he did spout off about John and Theresa were damaging. He's a registered Repuk as well (he admitted it about 1,000 times during the campaign).

Don't stop posting, though. Sorry...

[robbedvoter]

24. Further proof of how clueless kerry was. McCain as VP & Imus as ally.

S*t! :argh:

[Vinnie From Indy]

27. With Friends Like IMUS, Who needs enemies?

Maybe there is some truth to the fact that Kerry was out of touch with his campaign efforts if he thought Imus was on his side. Sure, Imus may have publicly stated he was for Kerry, but did any Kerry people ever watch or listen to his show? I personally witnessed, on several occasions, where Imus and his posse tore into the Democrats and Kerry on a host of bogus issues like Drift Boat Liars or they spoke of how Bush was a good, strong, consistent leader. Imus, like almost all the current right wing controlled media outlets, says one thing and does something quite different. Call it the Shrub Doctrine. Say absolutely anything and then behave as though it was never said.

I worked for Kerry in Ohio and I am shocked to hear that he might have thought the Imus show was playing the election square. They weren't. Bo "Donut" Dietl and the other members of the Imus chorus could not go 10 seconds without savaging Kerry on whatever the daily Rove talking point was for that day.

[BlueManDude]

29. Pretty much says it all about the Kerry Campaign

If you think he was an ally of yours. He'd say he was voting for Kerry - then spend 3 hours ridiculing him. He is GOP all the way. Listen to him sometime.

[babylonsister]

20. Whatever Imus is, he voted for Kerry.

And welcome to DU, SPDBoston! :hi:

[ElectroPrincess]

31. I seriously doubt THAT and BTW his brother "Fred" is the smart one

in the family. :P Damn!

[CatWoman]

25. you answered your own question

I'm not commenting on political affiliation.

I commented on why is it ok for some to call Rice "brown sugar" and it's not ok for some.

Your'e the one who zeroed in on political affiliation.

[Pirate Smile]

9. I noticed it. I was running around and I noticed after she was on they

were playing that song. I got the connection.

I'm amazed to hear the RW talking points that the Dems are going against Condi and Gonzoles because of their race. What a joke.
They just flat out lie with no shame. Nothing new here.

[peacetalksforall]

13. If you want to watch a psychotic, a yes man, and a couple of tfilthy

nasty minded sidekicks, watch the show. A show that is allowed to air more filth then a person could imagine getting by the moralists - Pat Robertson, Jerry, and Bob B - they are all slipping in their tirades of immorality...but I guess as long as they bash Dems, homosexuals, women, foreigners...everything is just fine. Morals minus 3 million. Does anyone know if Michael Powell was ever a guest?

[tgnyc]

14. Several years ago he was forced to admit on "60 Minutes"

that he hired a producer specifically to do "nigger jokes." In the ensuing years, his show his repeatedly turned to racist humor, particularly as regards the sexuality of blacks.

Every time I hear of a so-called Democrat racing to be on the crusty cracker's show I want to vomit.

[tnlefty]

19. LOL - "crusty cracker", and welcome

I needed a laugh.

[TreasonousBastard]

16. Nuttin' to do with politics...

it's just Imus trying to work his last six brain cells.

Was a time he was actually worth listening to, but those days are long past.

[ArkDem]

21. Your wife had to ID Brown Sugar for you? You must not be

much of a Stones fan.

[ewagner]

23. Actually

asked her to confirm I was hearing what I was hearing and not hallucinating...........it actually DID HAPPEN!!!

[robbedvoter]

26. Arkansas Project - vigilent as ever!

[ArkDem]

28. robbedvoter unrelentingly brilliant, as always!

:loveya:

[EVDebs]

32. Luckily we don't get Anus in the morning.

Al Franken is a much better auditory experience. Plus he tells the truth and isn't a part of Operation Mockingbird.
