[imanamerican63]

He was on before Morning Joe show. He was very controversial & was fired by msnbc for is comments about the Rutgers women’s basketball team.

1. Besides being an all around jerk prick. And charitable works won't save those.

[Loki Liesmith]

3. Save from what?

What’s he need saving from now?
He was who he was, the bad and the good.

[UTUSN]

5. Redemption from his rotten core.

[Loki Liesmith]

9. He's dead. What's to redeem?

[UTUSN]

10. I love and act on your signature line:

I didn't join DU to be part of a debating society. If I don't reply,it's because I don't feel a need to.

which I will put into action after this (ultra-LAST-FOREVER) reply.

* I agree on the futility of "debating," for starters, which is why I will not participate in attempting to "convert" you from whatever your p.o.v. is,

* Especially futile is arguing about some kind of "theology" which is the closest I understand about whatever you are saying about there being nothing to happen when somebody is dead.

* You keep asking what this dead dude has to redeem himself about *since he's dead*. My point is that neither "charity" or "death" are Get-Out-of-Jail cards, that croaking wipes the slate clean.

* He was a jerk a-hole and Death or his Charity doesn't make up for anything. That's all I've got to say, so I will proceed to practice what you say in your Signature Line.

16. Cool

8. He was a shock joc and did what shock jocks do

He was loud, obnoxious, could be funny could be harsh. Used his own money to start a camp for kids with cancer among other things and used his soap box to continue to raise money to keep the camp going. He was Howard Stern before Howard was Howard Stern. He would have political people on the show and was the keynote at the correspondents dinner where he skewered President Clinton.

[UTUSN]

11. Yea, I'm culturally deprived but know what Shock Jock is, but also believe

that there is an underlying, personality foundation to the crap of it.

[rusty fender]

17. He was also a racist

POS. He said, of Gwen Ifill, that the NY Times was nice to send the ‘help’ to cover the White House.

And of the Rutgers’ women basketball team, he called them nappy headed ho’s.

Don’t forget to add this fact when you recount his life

[warmfeet]

2. I am sad, even though I did not agree with him.

I am always sad at death.

6. Called Robin Quivers (Howard Stern newswoman) the n word...

....under his breath in the halls of NBC.

[MineralMan]

7. When I told my wife, she said,

"He was still alive?"

[dustyscamp]

12. Good riddance to bad rubbish

[rusty fender]

18. This!

[Liberal In Texas]

13. The "Two Guys Four Corners" Guy?

Always thought he was a jerk.
79, he lived longer than he probably should have. At least he wasn't on the air with his terrible radio show.

Bye bye...

[winstars]

14. If he doesn't say a racist remark, we wouldn't have been sentenced to Mourning Shmoe!!!

MJ and Meeka replaced him in his time slot. If he had continued his (shit) show, maybe MJ get on and then doesn't kiss tRumps ass all those years and help him get elected???

[Coventina]

19. Morning Joke is a horrible show, but it didn't get Trump elected, GMAFB.

Putin got Trump elected.

Is your premise that if Imus had not been fired for racism, Trump would not have been elected?

Ergo, Imus should have been allowed to be a racist on the air?

Is that really your position?

[winstars]

20. I said MJ helped, not got... Big difference... Try the decaf please...

But very cool, you got to use ERGO in a sentence.
