“Imus on the defense: I was making ‘a sarcastic point.’”

We know it was sarcastic. And racist.

We have to keep these folks honest, and Don Imus should be NO exception.

Maybe, he was being “sarcastic”, but he either continues to try to re-write the history of his “nappy hos” comment in order to escape further guilt, or he is a closet RACIST who continues to be INFATUATED with a person’s skin color! OsiSpeaks[dot]com

We all love to talk about race. Really gets that blood flowing. You can cite all the statics you want, sure there are more black males in jail than there are in college, does that mean that black people are criminals? No, when you are looking at crime stastics what you really should be asking yourself is how many of these people were raised in utter poverty. Skin color cannot be changed and shouldn’t be, but poverty and education can. Show me the statistics on how many sons of black Yale graduates are in prison and lets compare that to the percentage of white kids that were raised in poverty that ended up in jail. Then lets see how valid any correlation between race and crime is. Poverty and desperation and greed are what drives people to become criminals, not race.

Imus is great on the radio. He points out how the elderly can sometimes lose the ability for rational thought that they once had. It doesn’t happen to all senior just the ones like Imus and John McCain.

Daryll Says:
Wrong, I just tell facts, which is considered kryptonite to your party.

This is priceless. From the guy who quotes the fables of the Old Testament and believes in their literal translations. Oh the irony.

Again, same rules apply. They’ll boot him if enough advertisers pull out w/o timely replacements. You won’t nab him solely on insensitivity, if that was his true intent in this case. I hope TP doesn’t plan to make this into a marathon, because there’s still a constitution to defend and gas prices to deal with.

“Considered” by whom?

Is that one of your “facts”?

I guess TP felt they should post this today since they posted the Imus thread yesterday but at least it’s a good place for Daryll to muck up a thread.

Fred, that’s because there’s nobody more fun to insult than Daryll.

Daryll Says:
I love Imus, but if he was defending the arcade man then he is wrong. This football player is a typical dark toned individual, who refuses act like a civilized human being. And they wonder why so many of them are in jail.

To quote a notorious performance artist:

Judge not!

See Daryll I don’t think you’re an idiot because of your skin color. I think you’d be a total moron if you were lily white. I suspect your mother fed you lead paint chips as a child trying to off your annoying self. Maybe she dropped you on your head, who knows. Buy you’re a perfect example of why some species eat their young. You know, the ones that are so “off” that the species would be better off without their survival. But hey, at least you’re not contributing any of your stupid to the gene pool.

Pointing out the absurdity hardly empowers. It undermines by removing any pretext of rationality.

By encouraging “the show” that darll brings you empower him to disrupt every thread he comes on…..if you want to play….go ahead but I’m not interested.

Yeah, Imus is dried-out low-hanging fruit.

We don’t need to get outraged over “yet another example” of crassness and stupidity from radio hosts.
We don’t need to be informed of every single instance that illustrates the permissiveness of appallingly low standards of social and political discourse in our media that still somehow garner great financial rewards for those involved.

We KNOW all that now.

If there’s a pressure to post something, anything, whilst working on more substantial posts, why not dig up some political satire or something engaging pasted from some other blog–a quick and dirty “guest-spot” as it were, until you are ready to publish the important stuff?

I’m sending this off direct to TP as well.
