[Embryodead]

So now he was fired from CBS Radio. Now we just need to hang Hal Turner who's with me?!

 

[Baryonyx]

Don Imus

Oh yeah that racist goof.

 

[Diggler]

I don't think witch hunts based on a person's speech or positions is a road we want to go down.

 

[Embryodead]

so what you're saying is, you defend White Nationalists?

 

[Diggler]

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.



This is America, you have a right to say what you want, liberals do, conservatives do, non political ones, KKK members, everyone.

With regards to your ridiculous attempt to form a straw man, I support white nationalists to have their stupid views and voice their opinions without them being persecuted for them. Just like Sharpton and Jackson can voice theirs. Once they infringe on someone's rights or hurt someone or break a law though, all bets are off.

Liberty doesn't just mean allowing the stuff you agree with or like, that's the easy part. The hard part is defending liberty when you disagree with it.

 

[BetterBottomEnd]

He has every right to say whatever he wants and everyone who airs him has the right to drop him because they've got sponsors pulling out left and right. If I was airing him I'm drop him in a second. I think it was a completely inappropriate and racist thing to say but he has every right to.

Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying.

I agree with all of this. CBS was certainly well within their rights to can Imus, though.

 

[Diggler]

They were within their rights, true.

We just have to be careful to not criminalize thought or speech, no matter how repugnant.

 

[MAJOR METAL]

Wow he really got tossed.

 

[rushfan73]

He got tossed cuz some of the advertisers bailed.

 

[Sean S]

what did he say? I've only caught the fact that he was fired in between Star Trek rerun episodes

 

[P. Aaron]

The Rutgers Women's Basketball team wasn't lookin' for Imus' version of idiocy either.

Imus was just being himself, which is why his radio show was practically non-existent anyway.

 

[DaBassman]

He's a good man that said a very bad thing. Suspension, a fine, then let him make things better....that would have been the right thing to do, not fire him.........Jesse J and Al S both said/did stupid things in the past...both apologized and were allowed to go on....Imus should have had the same chance.

 

[Diggler]

He was Zumbo'd.

 

[Baryonyx]

Playing Call Of Duty 3 on Xbox Live today I ran into a cretin called "Notwhitenotright". Man, what a tool.

 

[jonly]

this is Sharpton's doing in all reality. From here on, when I hear the word 'nappy' I will be reminded that Rev Al mad it into a racial slur. Congrats, Sharpton. I guess that's a step forward?
