Let me first say what IMUS said was wrong, but talk about blowing a story way out of the water.

[recxjake]

You cannot go to a 7-11 or Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian Accent."
-Senator Joe Biden


Mahatma Gandhi "ran a gas station down in Saint Louis."

-Senator Hillary Clinton


Some junior high n*gger kicked Steve's ass while he was trying to help his brothers out; junior high or sophomore in high school. Whatever it was, Steve had the n*gger down. However it was, it was Steve's fault. He had the n*gger down, he let him up. The n*gger blindsided him."

-- Roger Clinton, the President's brother on audiotape


"You'd find these potentates from down in Africa, you know, rather than eating each other, they'd just come up and get a good square meal in Geneva."
-- Fritz Hollings (D, S.C.)

"Is you their black-haired answer-mammy who be smart? Does they like how you shine their shoes, Condoleezza? Or the way you wash and park the whitey's cars?"

-- Left-wing radio host Neil Rogers

Blacks and Hispanics are "too busy eating watermelons and tacos" to learn how to read and write." -- Mike Wallace, CBS News. Source: Newsmax


Black on Black

"In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and [there] were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master ... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him. Colin Powell's committed to come into the house of the master. When Colin Powell dares to suggest something other than what the master wants to hear, he will be turned back out to pasture."
-- Harry Belafonte

"Republicans bring out Colin Powell and J.C. Watts because they have no program, no policy. They have no love and no joy. They'd rather take pictures with black children than feed them." -- Donna Brazile, Al Gore's Campaign Manager for the 2000 election

(On Clarence Thomas) "A handkerchief-head, chicken-and-biscuit-eating Uncle Tom." -- Spike Lee

"He's married to a white woman. He wants to be white. He wants a colorless society. He has no ethnic pride. He doesn't want to be black."

-- California State Senator Diane Watson's on Ward Connerly's interracial marriage

Eh...selective outrage as usual.

No, its called media bias... they go nuts when IMUS says a joke, but you don't hear much when their libby friends say a racist comment.

Contrasted with Donna's man, Big Bill, who seemed to think taking pictures with black kids WOULD feed them.

[Donger]

Liberals cannot be racist, you putz.

[Direckshun]

I just want to say at the very top that I do not support racist comments made by anybody anywhere.

With that out of the way: There was outrage over Biden's remark and he recanted it. There was even more outrage over what Hillary said, even though she never personally addressed it. Nobody cares what somebody's brother says. Nobody care about left-wing radio and Neil Rogers doesn't pull in a fraction of the ratings Imus does. And black-on-black racist comments aren't sexy stories, especially those weak-ass ones you put up.
I've never heard the Wallace comment before, though, so I can't speak to that.

But there is outrage to whoever says this stuff. It's nothing new.

I am surprised that the media locked in on this one, though, but the media always locks in on some bullshit story at some time. It's not a bias against the right as much as it a bias towards the sensational.

[HolmeZz]

This is politicizing an issue that isn't political. Imus isn't this big conservative pundit. He's routinely attacked people on the right. I think it's being overblown because Imus has always been critical of the media in general(left and right). This is their way of getting back at him.

Let me first say what IMUS said was wrong, but talk about blowing a story way out of the water.

So you wanted all these other stories, that you're saying shouldn't be 'blown out of the water', to be blown out of the water?

Besides, most of the instances you've referred to are fairly common knowledge to anybody who pays attention to the news.

You come off as way too much of a n00b with this stuff. Maybe if you 95% of your posts weren't things you just copied and pasted, you'd get taken more seriously. Being able to think for yourself is a pretty sweet deal. You should look into it.

-- Roger Clinton, the President's brother on audiotape

Is he really involved with politics that much to make this any type of deal? As if it reflects Bill Clinton's or Hilary Clinton's views? I don't think so, therefore, I think this type of thing weakens or distracts from your argument.

Jake, how do you feel about GM pulling their ads from Imus? ROFL

GM has terrible marketing, they should all be fired... I'm so sick of seeing cars float in the sky or climb mountains.

Why should you expect marketing to be any better than the manufacturing end of the business? :Poke:
