This is more of the liberal double standard.

Blacks get to use language that is denied to whites. This includes the “n-word” and the “h-word” and a whole bunch of other words.

Sharpton gets to make bigoted remarks that are denied to others.

I do not like it, but that is the way it is until it changes. And I do not see that happening any time soon.

I would love to be proved wrong on this.

Rosie needs to go.

I wouldn’t be surprised that Don Imus will get a job with CNN.

Oh, and how much you want to bet that Don Imus goes into rehab (chuckling here) and then gets a job on CNN or something.

I would say that until today all this attention gave Imus more listeners than he ever had. He was rated something like 20th in his timeslot.

Sharpton is never going to let this go because it keeps the focus on him. It is in his interest to keep racism alive because it is what keeps him paid.

When we start demanding that people lose their jobs because they stuck their foot in their mouths, we are going to see a lot of Democrats on the welfare rolls.
Imus is an idiot. I don’t/never have listened to him. Why bother? I have Harry Reid and SanFranNan if I want to hear stupid statements.
That said, to demand that he be fired is a violation of his free speech and if we start that, then the “no, they weren’t talking about me by I am a victim anyway” mentality will take over. Do we appoint a committee that determins who gets insulted and what is insulting? Do we do a Constitutional amendment that says stupid people cannot say stupid things? Who will be the judge of that?
When then is next? Book burnings?

Rime to give both Sharpton and Jackson the hook.
