Are you getting involved in Imus and related discussions?

[MsUnderstood]

1. but by taking the poll aren't you now involved

Or by saying how you don't want to be involved you are now involved?

Ah its a catch 22!!

[MADem]

24. Never mind catch 22, see post 23!! It was actually directed at you, but somehow it ended up

attached to the wrong post!

Anyway, cogent post.

[Quantess]

2. I was mildly interested in the Imus story, a few days ago.

It's getting "old" to me. IMHO.

[MADem]

23. Right on the MONEY, that observation. The ones who claim to be avoiding are not being honest. NT

[Old and In the Way]

3. Beaten to a bloody pulp.

Not much more I can say that hasn't already been said 50 times or so.

4. is imus the father of anna nicoles baby?

6. Somewhere in America, a college professor has just

stabbed his head with a salad fork...repeatedly.

15. did i need a sarcasm tag?

:toast:

[chknltl]

17. Nope

I believe we are on the same page my fellow DUer :toast:

5. Only reason I voted is to dissident. I avoid the obsession like it's a plague!!!!

Geez. I thought the profit-driven media was diseased. Apparently, that disease has spread, rapidfuckingly. (sorry for the language *blush*)

There is a compulsiveness that,...really makes me wonder if the sociopsychological makeup of our country (and certainly this board) is,...well, sadly and destructively dysfunctional. I mean, how can we continue to ignore and be so easily distracted from fundamental issues to our health, our survival?

7. It's a diversion; and

I generally don't believe in punishing people for talking.

[Bluebear]

9. Tell those talented young women he called whores it was a diversion. nt

[DemBones DemBones]

8. Yes, I am, because racism and sexism are important issues.

It's puzzling why some don't see this. It's time to use our free speech to strike at hate speech posing as humor. Imus is just one who needs to be off the air.

When Savage insulted a gay caller, I don't recall DUers defending him.

Why are women and blacks not accorded the same respect?

[Bluebear]

10. Oh, what a perfect thread to mention gays :)

After all, according to many at DU gays list the 2004 election and caused the Democrats to lose Congress in 2006.

Let alone a flurry of other events for which we were told to "get over it".

11. Avoiding them

for the most part, the subject has been beaten into the ground.x(

[timtom]

12. Yes.

This thread, of course, being the exception that proves the rule...

[ClintonTyree]

13. I haven't commented on one of them yet...

unless of course this post counts. My input would be useless.

[LoZoccolo]

14. Kick for the daytime crowd.

:kick:

[MindPilot]

16. A shock jock said something shocking.

I'm shocked I tell you shocked!

Three days ago maybe 10% of the country knew Don Imus. Today that's more like 90%. We are giving him exactly what he wants...BUZZ.

I'm staying out of it. This is my first, last and only post on the subject.

19. I am

Someone had a quote from Molly Ivins in their sig, about how "fish gotta swim and hearts gotta bleed".

Well - I gotta speak out against prejudice and bigotry. As much as my lily white ass can.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

20. By posting here, doesn't that mean we all are?

[Forkboy]

21. Anyone who voted that they avoid them just lied.

:evilgrin:

[mmonk]

22. Three threads for limited comments.

Avoiding most of them.

25. Thank God for Ignore!!!!

26. I only dipped my toe into one

and jumped back out again.
