Imus in the Morning executive producer calls Hillary a "bitch"
Edited on Wed Mar-07-07 10:51 PM by antiimperialist
Bernard McGuirk said of Clinton and her electoral battle against Barack Obama, "bitch (Clinton) gonna be wearing cornrows."
in addition, by saying that Clinton will be "giving Crips signs during speeches.", he offended blacks by perpetuating the stereotype that most blacks are gang members.
Imus himself has a history of racism against blacks in his show.

These offensive remarks are comparable to those of Ann Coulter to John Edwards, and are a continuation of a pattern of baseless Democratic bashing in the media.

Ask MSNBC to fire Bernard McGuirk.

1. Imus calls Hillary Satan. I agree with that but, racism is inexcusable.

3. It's What They Do
It's never-ending. Coulter said a lot more than the 'f' word comment, she should have been confronted on all of it. We also need to stop asking for denouncements and apologies. They never change. Every week there is an array of degrading remarks that Republicans make. We need to demand they STOP making them, once and for all.

5. Barbie is also racist
What a coincidence. Barbara and this Imus' dude have a lot in common.
Remember the "blacks live well here because they are poor anyway" comment after Katrina?
