51. Yes
There is a difference between some people boycotting someone's advertisers and Congress passing a law saying that no one can use the phrase nappy-headed ho's.

I think the phrase "Your rights end where mine begin" applies here. Imus can say anything he wants to say. And other people are free to object to that and are free to decide to not buy the products of companies that advertise on his show to express their objection. And the companies are then free to decide to pull their ads, and the network is then free to decide that the show isn't making money anymore and should be canceled.

No one is guaranteed the right to having a national show and getting paid millions to express their opinions.
