Attention dumb conservatives: It's called capitalism

Listening to the pathetic wailing and gnashing of teeth coming from Right Wing radio jocks over the Imus firing can be a dangerous thing to do. You could laugh so hard you swerve off the road spill your beer and kill someone if your not careful. These blubbering reactionaries are reacting as though Imus had been arrested by government agents and is now in some secret holding cell being tortured by FCC officials under the watchful eye of the publicity whore Al Sharpton. And the impassioned cries of the troglodyte callers worried their favorite hate monger will be next, is enough to make you weep for your country--because you know these dumb brutes actually vote...more http://anncoultersbastardson.blogspot.com/

2. What kills me is:
These are the people who hold capitalism above everything--morality, reason, common freaking sense. And they're to dumb to understand that it was all about $$$$$$$$

3. Don Imus/Ford Pinto. He's a product, first and foremost,
and if a product sours the public on the entire line,it's gonna get pulled.

Capitalism does have it's own controls.

5. Hannity kept talking about how Imus was "silenced"--um, he's still
got his first-amendment rights, asshole, same as you and me. If he wants to go to the supermarket checkout line and call the cashier a "nappy-headed ho", he is well within his rights. What he doesn't have is a job, because he failed at the very essence of his duty to use the airwaves in a manner that his employers approved of. When you fuck up royally, you get fired. That's how it is for the rest of us, anyway.

6. Didn't you know the Constitution had been amended?
Yep, apparently no one noticed but now every US citizen has the right to their own nationally syndicated radio show. I have not been contacted yet about mine, so I can only assume that my right to free speech is being violated as we speak.
