I couldn't disagree with you more. It was NOT what Imus said. And it was not The People who got him fired. It was the gossipy news media who spread his words around way beyond his usual listening audience - in fact, way beyond any news that week.
I have listened to his program (I mentioned that in my first posting) and yes, he is rude and uncouth and pretty boring. But that's not hate.
WTF do I care about the basketball tournament? It has nothing to do with this issue.
They were deeply hurt. Boo hoo. People with class are not hurt by comments about them which are untrue. If I lobbed the same phrase at you, I'd expect you to laugh in my face, and get on with your life.
