Numerous responses to the CSW article on Imus were received. They all were of similar opinions and a representative few are below.
Re: CSW 07-12-04 Don Imus Is Fired
- One thing I have never heard the "Reverends" Jackson and Sharpton say is "I forgive" or the name "Jesus". Am I the only one that finds that odd?
Ed. Note: We are with you on that. These guys are shams.
Re: CSW 07-12-04 Don Imus Is Fired
- When does REV Jesse give us the apology for his remark about Hymietown and his illegitimate child? The REV also blackmailing the corporations in this land of ours???? How about Sharpton and the Tawana Brawly fiasco orchestrated by him????
Ed. Note: Sharpton was asked on a Sunday news show if he was going to apologize to the Duke students for his presumption of guilt remarks. See if you see the correlation. He said he doesn't owe the students an apology because he believed Nifong, the prosecutor, had good solid evidence against the boys. As we now know, the evidence was faulty and the left would contend Sharpton lied to America because he believed the validity of the evidence and was very vocal about the students' guilt! Sounds chillingly familiar to other events and faulty info and persons deemed as liars!

- Amen…. Double standards to the max. Although not a big fan of Imus or Howard Stern I can’t believe how we ALL have to walk(talk) on egg shells now adays.
Come on Jessie, Sharpton and crew, sober up and look in the mirror !!!
Ed. Note: They will never fess up to any faults. It takes a man to admit his errors. Denial is their game. They need help.

- For the 2.5 seconds that it took Imus to make a “Joke Statement” ,repeated by him only once, the preachers and the media must have reiterated it 1000’s of times! The Imus In the Morning Show is OK but let’s not think for a moment that the majority of those that heard these distasteful words over and over the last week heard them from Imus’s morning show. They are giving Imus way too much credit for being the Voice of Radio Land in the US . Jay Leno and Dave Letterman can get away with saying just about any thing about the President and any one else for that matter and never have to apologize, why because we know that they are comedians. Imus was only being a comedian at the time he said what he said. I don’t think that White people get offended when either white or black comedians make a joke on the whites we laugh and go on. In my opinion our black population must do the same if they want to be equal and not make themselves this special segregated group of US citizens. You can only be offended if you allow yourself to be.
Ed. Note: Well said. The backlash is going to be against the Black community. Racist remarks are one thing: being thin-skinned about each and every remark is quite another. When did the Blacks lash out against Enfume, Belafonte, Farrakhan et el for comments directed toward Caucasians? That was a rhetorical question to which we all know the answer.
How do you see it?
