WHY DOESN'T AL SHARPTON JUMP ON THIS? Barack Hussein Obama plays the race card on a regular basis. He makes "racist" remarks on a regular basis. OBAMA IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO RUN FOR OUR PRESIDENT. HE IS A RADICAL, RACIST, ANTI-AMERICAN WITH TOO MANY TIES TO TERRORISTS. THIS MAN WILL DESTROY OUR COUNTRY. Now Sharpton is screaming racist for another Don Imus' comment. I don’t think Imus was that out of line. There is so much worse being said……..geez……give the guy a break. He was just asking a reasonable question. YOU CAN'T HAVE IT BOTH WAYS! VOTE McCAIN IN 2008.
Why don't Al Sharpton leave his hatred towards this country at home!!!! I would love to know why African Americans as they call themselves always crying over something stupid. If White Americans went around w/their organizations like Al Sharpton does they would probably go to jail or pay a ridiculous fine. Wake up, this is America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were all put on this earth the same so why can't Sharpton and the Obama's understand such a simple fact!!!!!!! Go McCain because we can't let the racists take over our wonderful country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anytime white people use or talk about blacks they are racist. I think IMUS should protect himself and become a REVEREND IMUS. I have heard its pretty easy and the money could be billions, and he could say anything he wants.
This is a non-event Greta. A misunderstood statement/question by Don Imus. I have the audio of it and doesn't even come close to be racist at all. Drop it. The more we talk about it the more the idiotic bloggers will come out of the wood work and make a Mountain out of a mole hill. Al Sharpton has little room to talk. He is a tax evader and racist within his own community. (MY OPINION). Has no business speaking about Don Imus. The trouble he is in with the IRS is enough to keep him busy. He is a joker like Al Roker. Mr. Imus will not apologize nor will he bow to the likes of an ambulance chaser like Sharpton or anyone else. Listen and Learn. But be wise in what words you use.

Blacks call us whitey, etc. and nothing happens to them. They sponsor their own "black" progams and nothing happens. They are more racist than any white person I know and nothing happens. Since when is the tide going to turn? Obama is a huge racist towards whites and woman and everything he states is "off limits". Makes me sick. The system as it now stands IS CREATING racism where once it was going away. Its rearing its ugly head and if most of you don't see it you just don't WANT to see it. After hearing what many black people (not all mind you - their are the sensible, stable, intelligent and NON racial Blacks) I have become quite angry myself. So many state that its because their owed something that they don't seem to get ahead. How about working for a living, being responsible, taking responsibility for your actions, don't have 10 kids, abstinence, fathers stepping up and paying support instead of us tax payers, etc. etc. etc. This holds true for all races of people, but I don't hear any other race state "their owed something and their lack of money and their increased pregnancies out of marriage are somehow the fault of the white man". I'm so tired of the old same old crap!
BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS “SELECTED” — NOT “ELECTED”! Why did the DNC push an unelectable, unfit for office person like Barack Hussein Obama, and declare and treat him like the official nominee when he is no such thing? And why did they treat the best candidate we’ve had in years, Senator Hillary Clinton, away? She, unlike others, loves this country and its people, and will take us to great heights as the president of the United States? What are Dean, Pelosi, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, Carter (and other Dem big-wigs) getting out of these nefarious dealings? How much Obama campaign money went to the delegates? THE PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW! OBAMA IS AN ANTI-AMERICAN, RADICAL, RACIST WHO HAS TOO MANY SKELETONS IN HIS CLOSET. HILLARY WAS FORCED TO CAMPAIGN WITH THIS ANTI-AMERICAN WHO HAS TOO MANY TIES TO TERRORISTS. VOTE FOR JOHN McCAIN IN 2008.
Imus does more for kids than Sharpton, Jackson, Obama, Wright, etc. They pad their own pockets with their hate and racism! They use the "dumb" non thinking people and stir up hate. Thats how they make their money! At least Imus has opened a ranch for troubled kids and is doing something. You tell me what the others have done except live off the poor and the dumb? I say dumb because you'd have to be dumb to listen and contribute to any of those racist biggots.
When one group of voters is voting for a candidate, you usually look at demographics: age, income, education, gender, geography --- African Americans of all ages, incomes, levels of education, gender and geography support Senator Obama --- there's practically no other political example like it --- and that leaves one criterion: RACE. For all the pundits who claim Clinton supporters are racists --- maybe you should consider: BEFORE Rev. WRIGHT, Ayers, Rezko, Farrakhan, Malcolm X, Hamas, and many others, Obama WAS pulling the white vote --- After the truth began to come out --- not so much. So, who is the racist? The ones who won't vote for someone who listened to hate speeches in a house of God --- or the one who listened and SUPPORTED hate speech (to the tune of $22K a year)? Obama, his wife and Wright are the racists --- not the people voting against him. Obama’s resume is not good enough for this job! Vote McCAIN in 2008!

How on earth does the Don Imus comment lead to whether or not to elect Barack Obama President of the United States? Try staying on topic, people. This was yet another of Imus' typically insensitive, knee-jerk comments which one would have hoped he would no longer make after his last debacle with the "nappy-headed hos" remark. I don't know whether he should be fired or not. It depends on what the terms of his return to the air involved after the last mess. It's NBC's decision to make, not Al Sharpton's or anyone else'. My feeling is that if his comments are offensive to you, change the station or turn off the radio. If they are not offensive to you, listen and support. This is still America and the First Amendment still guarantees Freedom of Speech. Thank you for the forum.
KATHY: Like you said: This is still America and the First Amendment still guarantees Freedom of Speech. No one needs your criticism. We all have a right to freedom of speech and the right to post our feelings. No one died and made you God!
If you can name a black radio host that was fired for saying racist things on the air than we can talk about Innas.
Obama insults 85% of US citizens and proves how out of touch he is by saying US is no longer a Christian country. Obama also starts his racist Race Baiting campaign. Insults all republicans and 1/2 of US population insinuating they are racist!! Liberal media including Fox News ignores his remarks and says nothing about RACISM of Pfleger and Wright . Instead concentrates on innocent remark by Imus. Outrageous! Obama is a racist and a race-baiter. If he was white and making these comments he would be impeached out of the Senate, not running for president!
Leave Imus alone. If anyone is a racist, it's Al Sharpton, Rev. Wright and Barak Obama. I am tired of blacks pointing out that they're black. I'm tired of hearing about how mistreated they are. I don't own slaves, never even saw one, yet I feel that I'm having to put up with this never-ending whining from blacks about how white people owe them a living. Every morning on the news, I know that I will get to hear about a killing or some violent crimes from the night before and I know it's going to be "blacks". In fact, I say "black" before they put the picture up and it always is. Yes, I guess I can be included in the racist category along with Al, Barak and the Rev. It's just all of the never-ending whining and gimme, gimme that has driven me to this. Just call me whitey.......
What Imus said doesn't mean anything, and should be given no special attention. If Imus gets taken off the air, then Wright, Jackson, Obama, & Sharpton should be taken off the air. If Wright, Jackson, Obama, & Sharpton get make comments on the air, then Imus gets to make comments on the air. Imus is no more or no less racist than Pastor Wright, Jesse Jackson, Barrak Obama, & Al Sharpton. All honest, fair, intelligent people understand, Imus is no more or no less racist than Pastor Wright, Jesse Jackson, Barrak Obama, & Al Sharpton. Only complete, moronic idiots think Imus is racist and Pastor Wright, Jesse Jackson, Barrak Obama, & Al Sharpton aren't.
Blacks can call us honkey, whitey, etc. and nothing happens. They have their own colleges with no whites, black ent. tv, etc. and nothing happens. Just think WHAT WOULD HAPPEN if whites setup a college where only WHITES could go???!!! Imus has every right to say whatever he wants so let him alone. When blacks STOP being racists and quit whining like huge babys just because they want to sue or get some big free handout than I MAY change my mind. I'm sick of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I, and I'm sure I'm not alone, am beginning to dislike other races JUST because of this stinking double standard. GO IMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is nothing I can add to the above comments. They are right on!
There is nothing I can add to the above comments. They are right on!
I'm tired of the over-sensitive Blacks who whine at any perception of wrong to them. I've never in my life been prejudiced until Maxine Waters, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton and their "No justice, no peace" mantra. Now, I'm turned off by most of what they say.
Dear Imus, New society we are hoping for there is no place for racists. Clearly that what you are. It is time for you to go in the history and never come back. I wish you the best otherwise. Vasko
As soon as I read what Imus said, it was obvious he was stating that it figured that the football player was being picked on because he is black. I believe, without a doubt, he was defending the guy and there is no indication of racism to his comment. Pretty soon no one will be able to say anything in fear it will be racist. Come on people. I don't listen to Imus' show but I read the comment and didn't even question it.
I couldn't have said it any better than "no more or less" and "sick of black racists". I just told my husband the other day if they had The White Music Awards there would be a huge racist fuss over that, but not a word was mentioned from any whites or other races about it. Whoopie Goldberg announced Michelle Obama as maybe being the next first lady of the United States and was all excited but announced Mrs. McCain with very little enthusiasm - was that racist or just the way Whoopie feels? Nothing was said. So get over all this racism stuff because I can tell you I am really tired of it.
having read all the above comments we heartly agree and would like to say mr. Imus does still have freedom of speech and this comment was taken out of context.
I do not think Obama is qualified to be the most powerful leader in the free world or the world period. It is not a matter of color but character and qualification. I am at a loss to understand why the two major political parties in America cannot or will not give us nominees for President out of the thousands that are greatly qualified for the task. Why are the most experienced and qualifed seldom persuaded to seek the office. The Republican party has failed us in this regard several times, but the Democratic party just keeps on pushing on us the worse possible choices for that great office. I fear greatly for the future of our country.
As stated above, racist remarks abound from many avenues, but the mere fact that Imus would even reference the topic after the last incident leads me to believe that he likes the publicity. In that case, if he just can't control himself, then he better not tuck his fanny under, beg, and whine like he did after the BB girls' horror show. He needs to know that his bigot blabs bother us more than they do him or his targets! It's repulsive, and I don't care what happens to him, the racist commedians[2 m's?], or the idiot preachers. May someone will just beat the heck out of him, and he'll learn to shut up! I'm just sayin'...
If one was not a racist to start with they would be now. No one can say anything without the media and the likes of Sharpton, Jackson, and now tonight Greta being offended. Good Lord enough is enough. I am offended by everyone being offended. Get a life - stop the crystal ball analysis. It is so unnecessary and needlessly explosive.
Vasko .... I am with you about, "New society we are hoping for there is no place for racists". I, like you Vasko, wish all racists like Pastor Wright, Jesse Jackson, Barrak Obama, & Al Sharpton, would just go away into history, or, have a major, critical hearty attack, and fade out of everyone's memory. There is no place in any country for scum like Pastor Wright, Jesse Jackson, Barrak Obama, & Al Sharpton.
Wow, I just can't believe even Gretta was questioning IMUS! I have listened to him for years and he is a kind hearted guy through and through! It is his sinse of humor which is taken wrong! I think it was stupid for them to make such a HUGE DEAL about his comment! This country is just aabout "unrecognizable" to me (if that's a word) . . . I am 68 yrs old and we were raised "live and let live" not pick apart everything someone said, you know? I love all those good comments above! Right on!
Say, I remember you as a real O.J. "lover" as was your guest, Moret (from Hollywood) All I can say to you two is leave Imus alone, he is not a racist. Love Fox as fair and balanced but you should be on MSNBC. Do you think the anointed Obama's friends (Wright, etc) are not racists? Bet not.
PB: Why don't you put on the comedy channel on cable and listen to the blacks use the "n" word all the time. Makes me sick. They use it = aok! They should start with their own race. When the biggest crime rates are in the ghetto amongst their OWN RACE OF PEOPLE, I think they should quit worrying about Imus and start cleaning up their OWN city areas AND QUIT blaming whites for black against black crime! Own up and be responsible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like Manson's cult killing other whites is somehow blamed on black people. See how really stupid that sounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
