Kmar: Truth is my Bitch; +5,695|7023|132 and Bush

http://www.politico.com/blogs/michaelca … versy.html

This morning, Imus discussed the case of Adam “Pac-Man” Jones, the NFL player that sat out 2007 with disciplinary suspensions and has been arrested a half-dozen times since being drafted the previous year. While Imus’ news announcer talks about Jones’ desire to drop his nickname — it’s too “negative” now — Imus startled him with a question:
Click here to listen

Imus: “What color is he?”

A: “He’s African American.”

Imus: “Well there you go… now we know.”

This may not be quite as overt as “nappy-headed ho’s”, but in listening to the clip, you can almost hear the smirk on Imus’ face as he replied to the answer. Put that together with the preceding “What do you expect at a nightclub?” sequence, and it looks like WABC may find out how it felt to be CBS Radio and MS-NBC in the prior controversy. Imus has not learned much since, it appears.

What difference would Jones’ color make in this case? Why would Imus even think to ask? I’m among those who think he got treated far too harshly the last time, but quite obviously Imus has …. issues.

Yep. The same reason Bill O'Reilly and Rush Limbaugh are popular. Probably half their audience hates them with a passion.

Imus is a fucking retard. He should go hang out with Ted Nugent.

Freedom of speech? - Why does it matter what he said?

Perhaps other players should be the one most upset for Pac Man giving them all such a bad name. Why the fuck doesn't the NFL get rid to ghetto trash. Personally I find nothing more offensive than a rich thug out doing his ghetto trash thug shit when he isn't doing it to survive or anything else. College educated grade A ghetto trash.

Couldnt agree more!

If Imus wants to look MORE like a horses ass on TV and radio let him do it! I sure as hell dont listen to his dumb ass!

My question is why would he even ask what color he is? Why the fuck does it matter? It obvious its a black dude thats got in all the trouble. Imus has to be daft or just looking for a fight. He hasnt learned his lesson I gues. . . . . dumbass

No one is saying restrict freedom of speech (Except maybe big Al). It's entertaining to watch people squirm though.

Are you joking with the "It's obvious its a black dude thats got in all the trouble" comment?

My only problem with Imus is that he apologized. He continues to bow down to them.

Continues to bow down to who? The network? The broadcasting regulators?

You aren't. I'm in agreement with some of your previous statements. I think you blur the line between racism and prejudice a bit though. Everyone is prejudice. Some people just choose to ignore it.
