2. Nope. That would be too much like work.
Imus made his own removal easy.

3. Of course not.
Didn't you know? Imus was the be-all and end-all of racism, bigotry and saying stupid shit on the radio.

With the passing of Imus, America is healed.

Oh-oh I said in another thread I wouldn't post anymore on this subject. I'm a bad man.

4. figure out the sponsors and list them along with
outrageous remarks made on the show.

I'll write angry consumer letters and boycott.

5. The guy I can't stand is Neil Boortz in Atlanta-WSB 750.
He actually reads the sponsors creepy ad messages,

6. Can't believe it...
I stopped in at our local cable access studios and they had fox news on one of the monitors...

that (insert favorite slur here) John Gibson was interviewing Beau Diedle who was defending Imus to the max.....said that Imus was fired for telling the "truth"...he said he liked to appear on Fox because only on fox could he tell the truth.... I almost vomited over the control panel....

8. Nope. The rightwing got what it wanted out of us.
They made us expend all its energy on Imus, and we left THEM standing.

10. This will just create the illusion that
the networks care about hate speech. The other shock-jocks and polemicists will hold their tongues a little for a couple months then when the coast is clear the real hate speech talkers will crank right back up.

11. I know I want to see the same level of enthusiasm and mob rule.
I think they should keep Rev. Sharpton and Rev. Jackson on constant alert so they call out these people too.
