"I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it."
Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778) 

"Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words can never harm me"

I'm completely disgusted with the press, the TV alleged news, and CBS for blowing up Don Imus' stupid comment way out of proportion. His job is to say rude things on the radio. You don't fire someone for doing his job.

Want to be that next week we'll see him announce he is going into rehab to deal with his alcohol/prescription drug problem?

I agree with you, but I just never liked him. I don't see the appeal of that kind of show.

Ultimately it comes down to losing sponsors... if their sponsors don't want to be affiliated with his opinions, that's their perogative. If his employers then dismiss him because they can't make money off of him any more, I might not agree but I can understand it.

I Never, Ever Listened to him. He is Not my DJ. Still glad that those kinds of DJs are starting to get noticed and removed.
Now all we need to do is get rid of all the Right Wingnut Talk Show hosts who spew the same kind of hatred.
From: (Anonymous)
Radio Talk Show Hosts are a modern embodiment of historical court jesters. They are jesters of WE THE PEOPLE, who replaced king’s Power for the Power of the Constitutional Republic. Therefore, for a sake of special function of these modern "court jesters" in the Society - "protection from misfortune", they should be appreciated and courted themselves. And, of course, they must be exempted from any censorship. Another words, Radio Talk Show Hosts ought to be allowed to behave on the Air in ways which would have been unacceptable for other members of the Society.
