well what do you all think about this guy? I think he was a white trash peice of shit who quite frankly I'm surprised has been on the air for as long as he was.

I have listened to his radio program in the past, but that was years ago because someone I was riding with was listening. He got what he deserved, and I am surprised people are continuing to make a big deal about this.

Every time I heard his show it made me a little ashamed to be called an American.

He shouldn't have said it, but him being fired is just more proof that the media is too concerned about being PC.

meh, the media has every right to ax any show they feel is hurting their business, it's called capatalism. if I personally felt somebody was making my TV / Radip station a less favorable place to watch / listen to, I'd fire him, too. it is rather sad that it took the virginia tech to shut the media (especially MSNBC, fox, and any kind of news magazine) up

freedom of speech = federal gvt and not going to prison/getting fined. it does NOT apply to private bussiness. it's THEIR station, THEY make the rules, end of story. plus, you wouldn't go up to somebody at you job and drop the N-bomb and expect not to get fired because of "freedom of speech" would you? didn't think so.

I'm all for saying whatever the hell you want. If assholes like Al Sharpton didn't make such a big deal about it, then no one would have cared.

Al Sharpton is an ass, too. I'm just saying, the companies did fire Imus from a business standpoint, and I feel they had every right to do so. if you hurt business, you get fired. that's how any job works.

It wouldn't have hurt business if Al hadn't been a douche and made a big deal about it.

doesn't matter why , if it hurt business, it hurt business. I'm just saying I agree with their descision to fire him from a business standpoint. and you're probably right. I hate it when people draw the "oh you ain' prati'ly suckin' my dick jus' 'cause you be racis'!" card. seriously, I'm not racist but people like Al Sharpton are spoiled brats that basically say "okay, you spoil me and give me what ever the fuck I want or I'm going to make a big scene and accuse you of being racist weather you'd do it for a white person or not." I HATE AL SHARPTON.
