1. apology
Isn't kinda like a husband beating his wife and then saying, I'm sorry? Maybe he is, maybe. Sure doesn't take away the hurt, can't ever take away the hurt, bruise may fade, hurt remains.

4. We're sorry
Yeah I can't stand it when a politician says sorry for centuries of slavery as if now we can just move on. And when a dirt bag like Imus apologizes it means less than nothing.

3. A pathetic waterbag like Imus feeds off hate, like a moth to a flame.
I think it empowers him in some sick-fuck way. Like Rush and his Oxycontin. They love to sin and hate the sinner.

5. Imus is a symptom of the racism that exist in America
and under "Presidents" like Bush, where the haters and their ignorance are given legitimacy, people like Imus flourish, and others such as Rush and Coulter grow more bold.

Imus has been getting away with his filth and he expected to continue to get away with it....and he had every reason to believe he would continue to get away with it....Bush and his ilk, to borrow a pet phrase from the POS, has emboldened the haters.


They feel protected by having a person in office that sets the tone for giving their hate free reign.

But it's not just the well known haters that feel free to attack - the racism in everyday citizens is also encouraged.

Hate is not acceptable. The promotion of hate is not acceptable.
