Imus is a curly-haired, racist misogynist
If Imus had said such degrading remarks about male athletes, he would have been fired by now.

So let's send a couple of emails pointing out that fact, OK?

imus@msnbc.com

viewerservices@msnbc.com


I hope the Rutger's women sue for slander....that's all some of these bigots understand...pain in the wallet. That just might change his behavior.

1. 1,200 Hamburgers (and Imus) to Go!
Changed stations several years ago when it was apparent that he just loved McCain. Imus is a mess and, like Hannity and Limbaugh, his voice is not missed.

20. Bwahahahah!
:rofl:

He does look kind of ...dead. So road-kill is an excellent way to describe him. Honestly, he looks like a ghoul in some bad 1950's horror flick.

3. He's an entertainer, and nothing more.
Whatever he can say that might generate numbers, he'll say.

4. Imus
femrap suggested "let's send a couple of emails pointing out that fact, OK?"

Already done, and forwarded to friends and family Could someone who actually listens to this jerk's program tell me who his sponsors are? I think they could use a few letters as well.

5. If you stop listening to Imus then he will oficially have zero listeners...
Have you seen that guy's ratings? I'm surprised he even has a job let alone justify his over inflated pay check.

9. FYI
I found a partial list of Imus' sponsors on the National Association of Black Journalist's web site:

"The association also questions if sponsors of his show -- which include the New York Stock Exchange, The New York Times, Simon & Schuster, Random House and Newsday -- will want to continue to be associated with the program."

These folks will be hearing from me real soon.

10. I'll check out their website....
and send a few more emails.

Has anyone heard if Rutgers or the team is doing anything??? If I were the coach or athletic director, I would be, at minimum, issuing a press release demanding Imus' resignation.

13. Thanks for Imus' emai. I just zapped off a howler!
The so-called mainstream media seems to have the racism angle covered, but I haven't heard a peep about the sexism displayed in his comments.

I'm sick of women being judged based on their appearance! Where would Imus be if looks counted for men the way they do for women?

He's a jackass!

14. Calling Imus a jackass is a compliment!
Edited on Mon Apr-09-07 08:36 PM by femrap
So he's being suspended for 2 weeks....but funny thing is, I don't hear anything about if it is with or without pay.

All he understands is $$$$$....that's the kind of punishment he needs.

Edited to add: I like donkeys and jackasses...strong, hardworking animals.

19. You're right.
I was too kind. :blush:

Imus is an angry, arrogant, racist, sexist misogynist, who is now out of a job. :evilgrin:

16. It may fit the definition of per se defamation
I was listening to an attorney talking about it on the radio, and he recounted how Gene Simmons from Kiss was successfully sued by a former girlfriend after he used footage of her during his concerts and said vulgar things about her onstage. Public figures like HRC are one thing, but you can't defame private citizens like that. The only question would be whether or not the Rutgers players could be considered private citizens.

18. Interesting....they're just college students
participating in sports offered by their university.

Didn't I hear something about the duke lacrosse players suing? Women are supposed to be nice and nurturing...so we just couldn't sue, could we?

Since the '04 Elections.....I said: 'Nice is Over.' Those Rutgers women deserve a TRUE apology.
