27. And Cheney does exclusive interviews with Rush Limbaugh
Edited on Sat Apr-07-07 11:05 PM by ProSense
George Allen's slur exposed him as a racist, but no one is pretending that it was just the slur that did it. Did Hillary's Ghandi comment make her a racist? No, she apologized and so did Imus. His comments are base, but he's a shock jock, and I think it's disingenuous for some of the people, who let others slide, come out the way they have when I hear racists comment by so-called legitimate journalist damn near everyday. Imus is not Glen Beck, they are not in the same category. The most blunt e-mail I've ever sent to anyone regarding a racist comment was sent to Fucker Carlson. I'm not defending Imus, he's a dick, but this is a big slice of hypocrisy. There are more people outraged by his tasteless comment than were outraged by all the instances in the past year alone that Rush Limpballs insulted an African American, and the Bush admin is still doing exclusive interviews with him that is being picked up by all the media now having a field day with this story.

Racism and racist slur shouldn't be a part of our culture. If Imus goes, then I expect to see a few others follow: Fucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly.

JMO.
