Buh Bye, Imus....

[femrap]

NBC took him off the air!!!! Now we need to get a progressive (or two) on the air in the morning!!!

Oh, happy days!

1. GOOD -- I heard today that he lost quite a few big sponsors over this

Now, if only Limbaugh's sexist, racist, etc. statements would get HIM canned!

2. I've only seen the man one time ,last nite, on TV - are the cowboy hat and long hair

stage props???

3. So off to Fox he goes...........

5. Then people might realize what Fox

really is.

Of course he's still on the radio...NOW is doing an email campaign targeting CBS radio.

He's 67...maybe it's just time for him to ride off into the sunset with his horse and hat....and take his bigotry, hatred, and misogyny with him.

4. Stephanie Miller volunteered on her show this morning.

I'm concerned that any progressive talker would have everything she/he said scrutinized, though. They seem to get held to a much higher (double) standard.

6. Apparently these guys are pissed about it...

:eyes: Big surprise. They tend to lean toward the side of bigotry and hate. Just heard their comments on my local news saying that Imus apologized so that should have been the end of it. Again...:eyes:

I wish NOW would go after them, too. :puke: Getting sick of the apologists that are left behind to complain about their fallen comrades being "picked on", as if Imus (and people like him) did NOTHING to contribute to their demise.

Thanks for covering this issue on this forum, femrap. I've appreciated seeing your posts on this around DU. :hi: Good job!
