So I would like to apologize, especially to the two daughters involved, Bristol and Willow, and also to the governor and her family and everybody else who was outraged by the joke. I’m sorry about it and I’ll try to do better in the future. Thank you very much.” (audience applause)
OK, apology accepted. Now. Pack up your personal items and leave the building.

et al - Can anyone show me some of the actual racist and/or sexist comments made by Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck???
And before you get nasty, remember that I called for Imus to be fired four days ago.

The minority group I refer to is the Left. (Yes you are, even though you currently may think otherwise.)
Minorities should always be sensitive to the civil rights of everyone, because they have always been the first to lose when censorship becomes popular.
They have also been the first to protest loss of rights.
The Left is an exception to this historical fact. The Left will only defend the rights of those agreeing with them. That, in essence was my comment to orion. (Talk Left is an exception to this. And to my knowledge, the only exception.)
I know that you have a self admitted problem of attacking before reading. And I understand what the thread is about. My comment was to orin about his comment.
BTW - Are you able to connect your instant demand re thread content??? That displays your desire to shut down debate quite accurately.
My idea of the debate includes everyone. Join me in this most Social Liberal position.
BTW - Imus wasn't "debating." He was making a personal nasty attack on individuals. There was nothing "political" about it. It was pure commercial speech. Thus I had no problem in saying he should be shut down.

You have went from a calm conversation into a attack.
Which I also find is something that the Left generally does.....
And yes. Limbaugh, et al, all have a right to the airwaves. So does Imus. He lost that right when he did the personal attack.

I would agree that the government should not be involved.
But I think individuals have the right to condemn and call for his firing.
