Media World: What Imus' defenders don't get

OK, here's the sad thing. Only in America do we spend so much time fussing and arguing, calling for people to be fired and telling everyone who will listen when someone makes a comment that offends someone elses, sex, color, nationality or religous origin.

We i.e. ALL of US - spend way too much time and energy worrying that someone is talking about us or our "PEOPLE". Why don't we start spending that time and energy worrying about and working to solve problems like "THE VIRGINIA TECH MASSACRE" and how to prevent them from happening; OR the fact that the AIDS virus continues to infect people at enormous rates; OR that illegal immigrants continue to flood this nation in amazing numbers.

LET'S deal with REAL PROBLEMS. Let's grow up and quit acting like Kindergarten Children everytime someone says something about US or Our People that we don't like.

Then maybe, just maybe AMERICA can get back to being the Nation we once were!

Do you mean Black kindergarten children or White kindergarten children? I'm just saying...

IMUS SAID ANTI-SEMETIC REMARKS…

THERE IS AN AWAKENING GOING ON AS WE SPEAK. IMUS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF THAT AWAKENING. ANOTHER PROVING MOMENT OF THIS AWAKENING WILL BE THE OVERTHROW OF AL SHARPTON AND THE REST OF THESE FRAUDULENT PROFITS FOCUSED SO CALLED LEADERS. SHARPTON DOES NOT SPEAK FOR THE PEOPLE. HE SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF. HE WILL COLLAPSE.THIS MOMENT WILL BE A TURNING POINT IN AMERICAN HISTORY. WHAT ROLE WILL YOU PLAY?

Sacha Baron Cohen from the movie 'Borat',(20th Century Fox), goes ballistic on Jews. Was there a backlash about this film that went under the radar? Would Will Smith, Tom Cruise, or Jimmy Smits have been acceptable in the title role of Borat playing the "roach" scene? However funny, that scene is out there forever.

SEEMS LIKE IMUS HAS BEEN FINALLY ABANDONED BY
POLITICIANS AND OTHER POWERFUL/INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE.
CONDOLEEZA RICE SAID HE GOT WAS HE DESERVED AND HES PERSONA NON GRATA WITH WINFREY. EVEN RICH LOWRY-
A CONSERVATIVE AND NEW YORK POST WRITER- DEFINITELY NOT ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE --DIDNT DEFEND IMUS.
SAID HE WENT OVER THE LINE.

SOME OF THESE POSTERS BRING UP BILL COSBY'S NAME
PREFERRING HIM TO SHARPTON AND JACKSON. BUT I HAVENT HEARD COSBY SPEAK OUT ON IMUS BEHALF. HE'D BE A FOOL IF HE DID

THE BIGGEST BLAME SHOULD BE DIRECTED AT MSNBC.
IMUS IS REALLY SMALL POTATOES PROPPED UP BY NETWORK BOSSES WHO SOUGHT TO MAKE QUICK,FAT PROFITS BY USING HIM TO DEGRADE AND HUMILIATE PEOPLE FOR NO REASON. THAT NETWORK'S RATINGS ARE ALMOST NONEXISTENT.--IMUS WAS THEIR BIGGEST DRAW, THANKS TO THEIR OBSCENE MACHINATIONS. THEY SHOULD AND COULD HAVE PULLED THE PLUG ON IMUS A LONG TIME AGO.
SAME THING GOES FOR THE SPINELESS POLITICIANS AND
OTHERS IN THE MEDIA -(SOME SO-CALLED LIBERALS)
WHO DID HIS BIDDING.

THE MOST DISTURBING THING OF ALL IS THE MARKET THAT
THRIVES ON THE IMUSES , LIMBAUGHS. AND PEOPLE OF THAT ILK. THESE APPARENTLY ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOTHING GOING FOR THEM, HAVENT MADE IT IN LIFE, --SO THEY LIVE OUT THEIR FANTASIES AND FRUSTRATIONS THROUGH THESE GUYS. THEY DONT QUITE REALIZE IMUS AND LIMBAUGH DONT GIVE A TINKERS D. ABOUT THEM ONLY THE BIG BUCKS THEY CAN MAKE OFF OF THEM. THESE
SO-CALLED SUPPORTERS ARE IN THE END, THE BIGGEST LOSERS OF ALL.

I DONT FOR ONE MOMENT BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE END
OF PEOPLE LIKE IMUS. THE NETWORKS KNOW THAT THE MARKET IS THERE, AND WILL FIGURE OUT A WAY TO COME UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE LIKE HIM--MAYBE MORE SOPHISTICATED, BUT JUST AS LETHAL. PEOPLE WHO WILL BE POTENTIAL TARGETS OF THESE VICIOUS ATTACKS WILL
HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO FIGHT THEM.

On "911" I recall alot of the people I encountered asking themselves and anyone who would listen, "Why do they hate us so?" I know without knowing anyone personally at Va. Tech, that they would have loved knowing a little more about the thought process of Cho. Remember 'Columbine'? I donot mind the whining. Okay? Imus, you can have your job back. Jesse and Al, go stand in the corner................Now what?

"Scarred for life?" The friends and family of those murdered @ Virginia Tech are scarred for life-
Let's grasp some reality.

GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!
