I want Rush, Boortz, Hannity and savage and o'reily GONE too

[greenbriar]

heck, IMUS was not near as bad as any one of these and they all still have a job...


I want them gone

[muntrv]

1. And Beck, Robertson, Falwell. All agents of hate.

[SmokingJacket]

2. What I'd prefer is if no one wanted to watch them. nt

[City Lights]

3. Me too. All the hate spewers. Write their sponsors.

Time to turn up the heat!

[Karenina]

33. Does this work?

[City Lights]

34. If it's going to work, now is the time.

MSNBC and CBS firing Imus is powerful ammo, and Glenn Beck is the perfect target. I'd love to dislodge Rusty Limpdick and will do all I can, but I think getting him off the airwaves will be an uphill battle. CNN should be held to the same standard as MSNBC and CBS.

I've book marked the thread you linked to and will contact Beck's sponsors tomorrow. Thanks for that link. :hi:

[AspenRose]

36. Exactly.

Strike while the iron is hot and the momentum is going.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

4. I'm going to enjoy watching them squirm. n/t

[BuyingThyme]

5. If they target similarly sympathetic victims, you may have your wish.

So far, I haven't seen any comparable examples.

[michaz]

10. O'Reilly talking about the boy that was abducted by the child molester does it for me.

His saying how the boy was enjoying being with this kid because he didn't have to go to school and that he could have run away comes real close.

[BuyingThyme]

12. That's more incredibly stupid than incredibly offensive.

That's not to say it's not incredibly offensive.

[michaz]

14. I would say it was pretty damn sick and quite offensive to the family.

[Treehugger_72]

23. What?????

Oreilly NEVER said that the boy enjoyed being kidnapped!!?? Do you even listen to the show? He SAID he doesnt understand why the boy didnt go to the police bc that boy had many opportunities to do so.

[Ned_Devine]

25. Thay had footage of him saying it...

he was talking w/Greta Van Sustern when he made the remark and she didn't know how to respond

[Maraya1969]

28. Watch the video right here....

[ronnie624]

31. O'Reilly said, and I quote:

"The situation here for this kid, looks to me to be a lot more fun, than what he had under his old parents(!?). He didn't have to go to school. He could run around, do whatever he wanted. There was an element here, that the kid liked about his circumstances."

It sounds to me like O'Reilly is saying that the boy enjoyed being kidnapped.

Listening to this cretinous simpleton, attempting to analyze complex psychological phenomena is like fingernails on a chalkboard to me.

[Leopolds Ghost]

35. Rush targeting Michael J. Fox.

Didn't get fired because he didn't piss off his rich friends like Imus did.

[greenbriar]

6. lets give Sam Sedar the morning spot where IMUS was???

or Randi?

[waiting for hope]

7. Don't forget Glenn Beck....

and Tucker needs a lesson in civilty as well.

[partylessinOhio]

8. Those political hate jocks aren't going anywhere. Forget about it.

You sheep took out one of the best fund raisers for the wounded troops.

Nice going.

:thumbsdown:

[greenbriar]

15. I said IMUS didn't bother me...RUSH limpballs et all do

I would take imus back in a new york minute if it meant getting rid of mush and company

[partylessinOhio]

16. I agree with that but it won't happen.

Rush and the haters back the Bush/Cheney/Cabal. Imus didn't. Does that give you a little hint as to what is really behind this?

[ben_meyers]

17. That's what I thought too

I've never listened to or watched Imus. All I knew of him till now was that he was a friend of Kerrys and backed him against Bush. Was he a bit of a lefty? If so I think it explains a lot of what has been happening.

[partylessinOhio]

19. Here is a little about Don Imus:

April 11, 2007
Imus Struggling to Retain Sway as a Franchise
By JACQUES STEINBERG

That Don Imus can be abrasive and offensive is undeniable, but he is also one of the most successful and influential pitchmen in the history of radio, if not broadcasting.

In the last few weeks, Mr. Imus has provided a forum for a Democratic presidential aspirant, Christopher J. Dodd, to announce his candidacy and promoted a book from Simon & Schuster (“Green This! Volume 1”) that his wife, Deirdre, wrote about cleaning products she conceived. He also pumped sales for a country singer, Martina McBride, and raised millions of dollars for an Army medical facility in Texas.

His program generates in excess of $20 million in annual revenue for CBS Radio, his primary employer, and his flagship New York station, WFAN, according to two people apprised of the show’s finances who spoke on condition of anonymity. When advertising revenue for affiliates and MSNBC, which simulcasts the program, is included, the figure exceeds $50 million. ...

That medical facility in Texas, the Center for the Intrepid, benefits from the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund which lists these:

Benefactors

Mr. Richard L. Fisher and Fisher Brothers
Amy and Joseph Perella
Mr. Thomas H. Lee and Ms. Ann Tenenbaum
Columbus Citizens Foundation
Mr. M. Anthony Fisher
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas F. Marano
Morgan Stanley
Nelson Peltz / Triarc Companies, Inc.
Credit Suisse First Boston
The Bank of America Charitable Foundation
Childrens 104 Family Fund
Raytheon Company
Don Imus

22. Kind of makes you think

In spite of what was said, and I think it was actually said by his producer, maybe the wrong guy has been run.

[laureloak]

9. Get rid of the Merchants of Hate. Coulter, Limbaugh, etc., etc.

They're all just as bad if not worse than Imus. At least Imus does some good things for the kids at his ranch. But that just proves that good deeds don't cancel out bad ones.

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Kneel Boortz is a thorough jerk-off

He's getting worse than the others.

[sallyseven]

13. Beck and Nancy grace also.

[RebelOne]

32. Why Nancy Grace? She's not a Repuke.

[fooj]

18. People are tired of Shrub and his minions.

I believe they WILL be gone soon enough. Imus was JUST THE TIP of the iceberg.

[UTUSN]

20. K&R #3 n/t

[yorgatron]

21. HELL yeah!

K&R #5 :kick:

[frankenforpres]

24. Rosie has got to go!!!! n/t

[mmonk]

26. They are definitely more of a threat to people's rights than Imus with

their spew as they really do promote ending equal protection under the law.

[Tulum_Moon]

27. Rosi tell it like it is

All those hate mongers on the right need to go!

[AuntPatsy]

38. Agree, she may be loud by she is not so full of hate.

[SeattleGirl]

29. Hear, hear!

In some ways, they are far worse than Imus, because their hate talk is for the purpose of turning "their kind" against anyone who isn't like them. Didn't Coulter call for the assissination of judges? Haven't many of the others urged similar things? What Imus said was despicable, but what those others do is absolutely criminal.

[AshevilleGuy]

30. Keith Olberman tried to bring this into the conversation tonight

on his show; it went nowhere. His guests went right back to Imus every time.

[AuntPatsy]

37. Anyone who is partly a decent human being should feel the same.

I agree, no need to cut out their freedoms to hate whom they so choose and to voice it loud but I for one will refuse to buy from anyone who pays good money they make off consumers who pay for such hatefilled on air promotions.
