It's not hatred towards you, personally. It's hatred towards your views. That's all.Quote:

Either Al Sharpton should be fired, or Don Imus should be re-hired
Mary Mostert
An excerpt:
Al Sharpton: "As for the one Mormon running for office, those who really believe in God will defeat him anyways, so don't worry about that; that's a temporary situation."
Now that Mitt Romney and many others have pointed out that Sharpton's comment was not only wrong but also clearly bigoted, he is belatedly trying to claim that he really was not talking about the "one Mormon running for office" but about Hitchens, the atheist, whom he didn't mention. Not even the Washington Post will swallow that lie. It is calling Sharpton a hypocrite coming, as it did, on the heels of Sharpton's attacks on Don Imus .
And, Don Imus apologized for a statement he didn't even make, whereas Sharpton has never apologized for what he said about Mitt Romney's and my religion. Imus apologized, even though what he really said was:
"IMUS:That's some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and..."
Then his Executive Producer Bernard McGuirk said:
"Some hard-core hos."
IMUS: That's some nappy-headed hos there. I'm gonna tell you that now, man, that's some — woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like — kinda like — I don't know."
Imus said later, and I would have to agree with him, that he "didn't think it was a racial insult. I thought it was in the process of us rapping and trying to be funny."
Sharpton took a hard line and demanded that Imus be fired because he made "racially hurtful comments on a mainstream show that routinely hosted political candidates and top-tier journalists."
The Rutgers Girls Baskeball team has a black coach and 80% of its players are also black. They are very tall girls, the shortest being 5'8" and the tallest being 6'1," which probably would not prompt any man to call them "cute."
From Al Sharpton's accusation that this was a "racist" remark, one would have to assume that the entire Rutgers team is black girls with short, nappy hair usually found among African black women, not American black women 98% of whom have some Caucasian ancestry, as well as African ancestry. However, twenty percent of the team are white girls and only one of the eight black girls has hair that could be called "nappy" — which is an adjective that means the texture of the hair is "short, soft and downy" It was an inaccurate statement on Imus' part, but it was not an insult or "racist."
Now, McGuirk calling the girls "hard-core hos" a rapper term that means hard-core whores was neither truthful nor kind and Don Imus apologized for the episode, something that Sharpton has NOT done for his insult to a minority group called "Mormons" about their belief in God. Also, after meeting with Don Imus who apologized to them, none of the team supported Al Sharpton's demand that he be fired.
It is of interest to note, considering the latest Mormon bashing by Al Sharpton, that one of those Rutgers players, Katie Adams, is a white Mormon girl from Ogden, Utah who was valedictorian of her high school graduating class, has a 4.0 average in her study of psychology at Rutgers and was recently awarded the most Courageous/Inspirational Player of the Rutgers Girls' Basketball team. She doesn't seem to have any tattoos and she definitely does not have short hair.
Even the Washington Post has identified Al Sharpton as a hypocritical bigot for his attack on Mitt Romney's religion.
Al Sharpton's bigoted and totally inaccurate accusation that we Mormons, including presidential candidate Mitt Romney and Rutgers Girls Basketball junior guard Katie Adams, do not believe in God is far more offensive than Don Imus describing someone's hair as "short, soft and downy" or even using a a rapper phrase that is heard a million times a day from black recording artists.
I say, either Don Imus gets his job back, or Al Sharpton gets fired.
It's their right, but it's 'so wrong'. :smhQuote:

Don Imus is back—and Rev. Al Sharpton is surprisingly okay with that.
Imus buddy Bo Dietl dropped heavy hints on a radio show over the weekend that the aging shock jock will be back at WFAN no later than September. That would mean a mere five months of wandering in the wilderness for the I-Man, who was fired in April by CBS Radio and MSNBC after calling female college basketball players "nappy-headed hos."
Sharpton, of course, played no small part in Imus's downfall, even inviting the man onto his radio show to apologize to viewers only to declare his apology inadequate. Yet the Rev. tells Radar he would not oppose Imus's return this fall.
"My position is that we never called for him to be permanently barred from being on the air," he says. "We'll see when he comes back, and if he comes back, what are the boundaries and what is the understanding. We'll be monitoring the situation, but we wanted him to pay for being a repeat abuser, and he paid. We never said we didn't want him to make a living."
As for the claim that Imus is seeking a black comedian to "take the sting out" of his racial humor, Sharpton says, "A sidekick is not cover. What he needs to give him cover is his own conscience and whether he'll live up to the apology he gave those Rutgers girls."

I hope they put him back on msnbc in the am. I can't take anymore of Joe Scarborough.
I love Imus and i believe he is not racist.
Imus in the morning was one of the few sources for actual news. It was also hilarious.
