Thats ok...on O'Reilly last night, some rap apologist said GEORGE WASHINGTON was responsible for the "thug" culture and called Imus a "SUPERracist."

Blah blah blah... Meanwhile...on the VERY OPRAH SHOW WHERE THE RUTGERS GIRLS WERE GUESTS....Oprah maked a crack at how "whitey cant dance." But shes black...so ho harm done.

Meanwhile, Steve Harvey or someone of his genre will have some bit poking fun of "whitey" within a week. Bank it. !@#$ed up world we live in.

Its all good. How how am I a Bills fan you ask? See your avatar!

I wasnt trying to actually describe Harlem. I could have used "Main Street USA", and the point would be the same. That those who are getting on Imus ignore where that word comes from....and the blatant hypocrisy of the whole thing. And Ive lived in NYC my whole life. Ive been to Harlem a few times. And if find it pretty funny that YOU use a stereotype to describe Harlem, but then get on others for when you think "they" are doing it. If its such a great place, as you say here, then why would Imus have a problem going there? What did you mean there?

He wouldnt be able to. Know why? BECAUSE HE'D BE DROWNED OUT BY ALL THE BOOM BOXES BLASTING WOMAN-DEGRADING GANSTA RAP AND RADIO SHOWS HOSTED BY BLACK MEN AND WOMEN POKING FUN AT 'CRACKERS' AND 'WHITEY'. THATS WHY.

http://www.kansascity.com/182/story/66339.html While we’re fixated on a bad joke cracked by an irrelevant, bad shock jock, I’m sure at least one of the marvelous young women on the Rutgers basketball team is somewhere snapping her fingers to the beat of 50 Cent’s or Snoop Dogg’s or Young Jeezy’s latest ode glorifying nappy-headed pimps and hos. I ain’t saying Jesse, Al and Vivian are gold-diggas, but they don’t have the heart to mount a legitimate campaign against the real black-folk killas. It is us. At this time, we are our own worst enemies. We have allowed our youths to buy into a culture (hip hop) that has been perverted, corrupted and overtaken by prison culture. The music, attitude and behavior expressed in this culture is anti-black, anti-education, demeaning, self-destructive, pro-drug dealing and violent. Rather than confront this heinous enemy from within, we sit back and wait for someone like Imus to have a slip of the tongue and make the mistake of repeating the things we say about ourselves. It’s embarrassing. Dave Chappelle was offered $50 million to make racially insensitive jokes about black and white people on TV. He was hailed as a genius. Black comedians routinely crack jokes about white and black people, and we all laugh out loud. I’m no Don Imus apologist. He and his tiny companion Mike Lupica blasted me after I fell out with ESPN. Imus is a hack. But, in my view, he didn’t do anything outside the norm for shock jocks and comedians. He also offered an apology. That should’ve been the end of this whole affair. Instead, it’s only the beginning. It’s an opportunity for Stringer, Jackson and Sharpton to step on victim platforms and elevate themselves and their agenda$.

Yes. But why has THIS comment.....NOW...created the reaction it has? "Easy shots" are taken all day every day on the radio and in the media. Comediennes do entire acts making fun of different groups and classes of people. So why does THIS comment said by a man who has been an equal opportunity offender for thirty years suddenly get this much attention? And the reactions are getting insane. One of the players said she's been "scarred for life." The coach went on ESPN Radio and equated what Imus said with murder.....MURDER!!!!!!! Its getting downright crazy.

I got it...took me a minute. See my edit above.

Good thing Joey isnt obsessed or anything. How the !@#$ do Rove and Imus connect with one another??!!!?? Actually...I give him credit. At least he didnt actually pin Anna Nicole's death and Sanjaya's ascention on Rove, as some some of diabolical conspiracy to get him off the front pages.

Good thing black comediennes and radio hosts dont exploit white sterotypes, specifically the way "we" speak. This is insane....you would think Imus shot someone in the face.

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bravo, again! Thats great...and the not-so-subtle point between those two little words isnt lost on me.

"Its the Internet" is a cop out. Last I checked, there still a real person on the other end.

Great post, OC. Bravo. Im still VERY upset by MG's assertion and assumption that I wished harm on those troops in order to move forward with some kind of agenda. We do a lot of name calling and what-not around PPP. A lot of it is done purely for sport. But MG's incessant assumptions about people and what they are saying gets downright personal and is really beyond the pale. He needs to stop.

Jack Cafferty and Keith Olbermann are really "fair and balanced", right?

Seems to me youre a lowlife piece of sh-- that sits at home and Googles things to repost here in some lame attempt to look smart. Its not working. As if you had any idea what the Logan Act is. Before you ran off and looked it up on wiki, you probably thought it was a funding bill for new sidewalks at the Boston airport. Lying fraud scumbag.

Thought youd NEVER ask: Micheal Moore was the guest of honor at the DNC Convention John Edwards hires two extreme left bloggers and supports them. The same Edwards bows out of a Fox debate and then crows about it...on "Daily Kos"?. "Celebrity" members of the left like Jessie Jackson and other rub elbows with hard core socialists like Hugo Chavez. Moveon.org claim they now "own the Democratic Party." The entire Democratic Party bails on Joe Lieberman and supports Ned Lamont. Two words: HOWARD DEAN

Its like I said earlier in the thread...people dont even realize what comes out of their mouths anymore. All you need to do is see Joey's response. He retorts to Coulters name calling with.....name calling. And worse, he tried his ass off to up the ante and outdo the original "crime" here, use of the word faggot. Yeah...thats the way to condemn someone...do something WORSE...."I condemn you for punching me. It was an awful thing to do...so In response, Ill shoot you." Brilliant. And to the second point and to further illustrate the hypocrisy...Michael Moore, every BIT Coulters equal on the left, was the guest of honor at the 2004 DNC. Not in attendance...the GUEST_OF_HONOR.

Oh goody...another media whore 'activist" looking for attention.

I figured. But wouldnt participants in covert ops take precautions stateside? Otherwise I could picture the Chinese, Soviets, etc. with a car permantely parked outside the gates watching who comes and goes.

Lying under oath is lying under oath. There is no difference. There is no "fibber scale" when it comes to perjury, measuring how "bad" the lie is. Regarding the "outing", Im STILL trying to fiugre out how a woman who drove to CIA Headquarters in a flashy convertible with the top down, walking into the building's front door day after day, got "outed" as an agent.

And this is different from her ilk on the other side of the aisle HOW? Just this morning in the SAME CONVERSATION, Don Imus was calling Bush a bunch of derogatory names, and then he goes on to blast Coulter for her act. I mean...do these people even HEAR what they spew???!!!??? To use another analogy, its like a guy doing 110 on the Thruway complaining about the guy who just passed him doing 125.

Maher has got a TV show seen by millions. He brings on a who's who of political commentators and pundits week after week. He ability to play the "Im just a single comedian" really doesnt float anymore. Frankyl I cant WAIT to see his show Friday. First of all, he's close with Coulter. Second, what he calls Bush and anyone to the right of pretty much Ramsey Clark makes Coulter's commentary look tame. On another note, people on DailyKos are leading the charge to have Coulter silenced. As if THEY are the bastion of rational, civil politcal commentary. sh--, thats like Mickey D's leading the charge against obesity.

Some good about people who say "Yeah, thats right!" when asked if they really MEANT what they said.

Good point! Here is what I dont get about this situation. Especially since 2003, We have seen a steady stream of politicos, pundits, Tom, Dicks and Harrys going to Walter Reed for morale tours and what not. Never have we heard anything but glowing accounts of their experiences at the Hospital. All of sudden, the place is a (literally) rat hole?
