Al Sharpton won't oppose Imus comeback Wed Jul 18, 7:48 PM ET The Rev. Al Sharpton, who urged the Imus' firing, wouldn't object if the radio personality returned to the airwaves. "He has a right to make a living," he said in a telephone interview Wednesday. Sharpton said he hadn't softened his views about Imus, who was dismissed from his syndicated program (simulcast on MSNBC) in April for calling the Rutgers University women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos." But he added that, under the right conditions, the radio star's banishment could eventually end. Sharpton said he hoped that any broadcast outlet that hired Imus would take steps to ensure that he wouldn't return to a brand of humor that included race- and gender-based insults. "We had never asked him to never work again," he said, echoing comments he first made to Radar magazine. Imus' attorney, Martin Garbus, wasn't answering questions about his client's

Sharpton has no balls!!! Isn't Imus 95 years old or something. And isn't he a multi-millionaire? WTF does he need to make a living anymore? |

"i think this comes from sharpton being criticized for attacking imus when the same thing is done in hip hop. so i think he decided to let up because of all the criticizm he was recieving." Interesting point. The whole Imus debacle was over played and melodrama at it's worst created by the press desperate for competitive ratings. I thought Imus was a fool and I have never liked him but I did not agree with all the hyperventilating and screeching by the race card ambulance chasers (e.g., Al Sharption). And although I did not agree with nor approve of his comments (no less than than the merchants and practitioners of the the rap Coon Culture) about the Rutgers ball players, I did not agree with him getting fired nor the obsessive over the top belly aching about his silly ass comment.

Maybe Al thinks Imus has been punished enough. Members of the TV fraternity do seem to have a tendency to forgive each other. |

Over the last couple of months, Imus has thrown a couple million bucks at Sharpton's, Jesse's and assorted other ancillary kneegrow organizations/causes on the QT. On that you can truss-n-believe. |

How to tell the difference between the two Al's: Al Roker used to be the fat Today show weatherman. Now he just looks like he used to be fat. Al Sharpton is the one with the slicked back hair, kind of looks like a wanna be pimp, always talking shit like he's running thangs. LOLOL!

LMAO. I know, I know, Mzuri, but I just had Al Roker in my head because he was suppposedly the man behind the scenes in getting NBC to axe Imus. |

I thought some "ignoramus" ass statement like that would come out of your 'elitist' mouth NTFS!! But then again I must remember that the only reason why you are not appalled is because his insults were directed at 'Black women' who you and your Neo-con buddies already hold a low opinion of anyway. Also, to try to convince us that you are not a fan of 'Don Imus" when most of your statements on this board sound like something you 'ripped off' of Don Imus's show is hilarious!! Then in the same 'vein' as Bill O'Rielly or some other conservative "dueshbag' you try to blame Don Imus's racist rant on Black ppl and say: if they did look, think, act like 'coons' this he wouldn't have felt the need to make these comments. SHAME ON YOU!!! |

"I thought some "ignoramus" ass statement like that would come out of your 'elitist' mouth NTFS!!" When allegations of being an "elitist" is coming from a hormone tortured heretic like you, it's almost a compliment. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Thanks... "But then again I must remember that the only reason why you are not appalled is because his insults were directed at 'Black women'......" It has nothing to do with being a black woman or any other kind of woman. I was very clear about how I felt about his silly comments (but you would have to literate and possesses the ability to read to see it). I was referring his right to make comments -that is not the same as agreeing with his comments. I could care less what someone says as long as they are not inciting violence or recklessly putting people in harms way because of their rhetoric. It's called free speech. The Supreme Court has been very clear about this; "Ideas however unpopular and disdained will be heard." You cannot abridge someones right to make comments simply because you are offended or do not like them. I cannot stand Rush Limbaugh because of his bellicose jabbering, half truths, exaggerations and lies. But he has a right to be heard. Me being offended by his misleading comments and nefarious rants is not enough for him to lose his right to give them. "........who you and your Neo-con buddies already hold a low opinion of anyway." Once again, your schizophrenic delusions have separated you from reality. I have no idea what friends you are referring to. You've said this more than once before without offering any evidence, names or references to these so-called friends of mine that exist only in your woefully impaired mind. "Also, to try to convince us that you are not a fan of 'Don Imus" when most of your statements on this board sound like something you 'ripped off' of Don Imus's show is hilarious!!" Oh really? I'm a fan of Don Imus? I see....and you can prove this, right? You have statements where I referenced and openly praised him? Uh huh....I see.....just like my so-called neo-con elitist friends -you know, the ones that exist only in your head. "Then in the same 'vein' as Bill O'Rielly or some other conservative "dueshbag' you try to blame Don..........he wouldn't have felt the need to make these comments." Well, first of all SS, I don't like Bill O'Reilly. And although the biggest purveyors and shameless practitioners of openly degrading black women (and all women for that matter) are disciples of the thug Coon Culture, it still does not give the comments Imus made legitimacy. Once again, if you could read, you would see that I have been very clear about this; I never personally approved nor defended what he said -I defended his right to make comments, no matter how ridiculous. That is not the same as giving someone a free pass with the content (which again -I did not agree with). And I do not buy into the exaggerated histrionics and grandstanding by opportunistic Negroes trying to cash in on a FUBAR by Imus. SS, instead of uncontrollably leaping at every opportunity to attack me regardless of what I post, you would be well advised to take a reading comprehension class. I think that would make your life much easier not to mention improving your tragic inability to comprehend even the most obvious.
