LMAFO..... Every time that guy posts, I can't help but laugh to myself. He almost inspired me to change my ID to Mackerel_Snatching_Mick_Paddy_Potato_Famine_Guy, but then I remembered that I'm not a moron so I didn't.

I'll agree with you sharpton and jackson speak for those who can't speak for themselves, take the widow of the african american who was wrongfully shoot in NYC for no reason by several cops,sharpton simply gave the widow a voice in that community.Alot of times african americans don't have the money to hire big attorneys and such people like sharpton volunteer thier services for free which they should be applauded for.

or take the case at Duke, where the 2 of them showed up for support of the stripper, who by the way has pretty much proved she lied.

but never the less shapton and jackson were there to get their face on tv.


not gonna get in a pissing match over this, but jackson and sharpton have been doing this for years, not sure how old you are, but these guys ain't got no job, they live of what money they can snake out of you, wink, wink...... donations.

And what agenda is that, Einstein? What do those two expect to extract from this issue? So first you speak for Jackson and Sharpton, and now you also speak for prominent whites?

There you go again. Let me put it to you once again: You have no right to tell another what they should or shouldn't deem offensive. I suppose you find a handicapped person fodder for jokes too, right?

Are you from the south by chance?

Thanks for avoiding most of my points and making blind assumptions about where I live. I'm actually in sunny southern california.

I was asking a question, not telling you what to find offensive. Not having nappy hair I was unaware this was a sore spot for some people.

Jackson, and Sharpton especially, have pretty clear agendas. They rile up the black community to believing that kramer or imus is the cause for all their worries, while avoiding more serious and difficult problems. This is how they make a living, and they're both very wealthy from it.

Jesus, God forbid someone defend speech they don't personally agree with, what a travesty.

Mac_Hine....ratings go up and down, as I'm sure you know...like I told someone in the P&R forum here...I switch between Imus and CNN in the AM before I go to "the office"...you know, the kind of office that you get to use knives in... 8)

But as for 2005 ratings, etc. here is an excerpt from businessweek:

Book sellers, Senators, Congressmen, media personalities and even clergy are always after the same audience as Imus’s advertisers: affluent, educated and influential men, many of whom not only buy books, but count as swing voters. Imus’s show, while politically charged, skews neither right nor left, which makes it a refreshing switch from the wing-nut harangue of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity or the Air America Crew. “I don’t know anyone in Washington who doesn’t listen to Imus or watch him on TV,” says CBS News and Face The Nation anchor Bob Schieffer, a frequent guest, who politely admitted to me the show has become a more valued outlet for many DC elite than either of his programs. “I get more feedback off my spots on Imus than from my own shows,” laughs Schieffer.

Imus’s influence is transcending the size of his audience. Imus In The Morning, reaches about 3.25 million radio listeners a week, according to industry trade journal Talkers Magazine (plus another 335,000 an hour on TV). His radio audience is about a quarter of Limbaugh's weekly following and less than half of Stern's. But blue-chip and family-oriented advertisers like Chrysler, Bigelow Tea and The New York Stock Exchange are prepared to pay top dollar to flog their brands on Imus; his show commands advertising rates of $1,333-$1,500 per thousand listeners versus about $1,000 for Limbaugh and Stern, according to industry sources.

I think that Imus was a fucking idiot for appearing on Sharpton's show to defend himself...he walked into Sharpton's show by himself only to be greeted by an angry mob...but Sharpton was too chickenshit to appear on the Imus show today...Imus raises money for numerous charities...not to mention the camp that he has for kids with cancer...he was also instrumental in publicizing the need for a raise in military death benefits...in addition to raising money for the new military medical facility that our worthless administration couldn't seem to find the money for...I guess that Halliburton got it all...

And a well crafted handicap joke will give me a serious case of the lulz.

If memory serves, Jesse Jackson also stated that he/his orgaqnization would pick up the cost of the accuser's tuition until she completes her degree. I hope more people have the integrity to step forward and reward a woman who has knowingly made false accusations of rape -- for the second fucking time.

And as for PC...it's still OK for to characterize anyone from the south as being moonshine-drinking trailer trash, isn't it? Just another PC double standard...

Yeah, but the point is he's hardly a house hold name. He wields very little power and by himself has no influence on national debate.

As far as the interview, that was fucking comedy. Imus was squirming like a mother fucker, every time Sharpton asked him a question he would get all awkward and bring up his cancer camp.

That's BS...he called out Sharpton on several things...no influence on national debate?

More BS.
