I MUSt Support Imus
Thursday, April 12th, 2007Lots of hubbub in the world around old–and I mean old–Don Imus.
Everyone’s ready to castrate a man for a slip up–not even one made out of malice, but one made by and old dude trying to play some humor.
Blacks are offended. Women are offended. Whites can’t say things like that. Imus should be fired.
Right-on! While we’re at it, let’s start drowning some kittens every time someone says something stupid. You know, like that stupid thing you said a few minutes ago, yesterday or last week. Hell, if you’re me, it was probably within the past 10 seconds.
Anyway, I’ve already ranted a lot more than I wanted to. Every media outlet, every perfect citizen has now had the opportunity to say Imus’ little slur outloud, in print or online, and you’ll notice how I avoided it–although we’ve all been given cart blanche to say it or write it and it’s okay now.
I’ll tell you what I think: Most people are hippocrites and most people say far worse with much mor malice towards others all the damn time and the way this is being handled in the “free market” is total garbage. Most people don’t even listen to Imus to understand the context. Hey, it’s not like he went all Kramer on anyone.
Each one of you casting stones should remember: You could be next.
Even Barack Obama, a man I had a lot of hope for, wants Old Don fired, but Obaby sure can forgive other people in politics–seems like he may have a bandwagon streak in him. Much easier than acknowledging what a bunch of horse pucky this is.
We live in stupid times, folks. Anything for a cause, no matter how stupid it is, I suppose. At the end of the day, if you don’t like it, turn the dial. That’s worked for people and Al Sharpton for years.
