IMUS: 'WHEN WILL SHARPTON APOLOGIZE TO DUKE PLAYERS'?
Thu Apr 12 2007 10:02:02 ET

Patrick Gavin with FISHBOWLDC reports on Imus's radio show this am...

Barely 12 hours after being fired from MSNBC...

6:12 AM: On Imus' radio program (no longer simulcast on MSNBC) this morning, Chris Carlin, who covers sports for the program, discussed yesterday's dismissal of charges against the Duke lacrosse players.

(rough transcript)

DON IMUS: When will Al Sharpton be apologizing to them?

(LAUGHTER)

CARLIN: I'm unaware of such a press conference.

IMUS: I'll be darned...

The point I was making, which I assume would be lost on angst-ridden liberal idiots, is that POOR white people have no one in their corner; certainly no one that has a credible voice. I hate to break it to you, spanky, but most of the poor people in this country are white, and have no more influence with the ruling elite than the average black project resident. But the last time I checked, there was no NAAPWP.

If I lose out on a job to a less-qualified minority based on the color of my skin, there's no Jesse Jackson-type I can turn to who will express indignant rage on my behalf. I'm just screwed. Oh wait, I'm white - that means I don't have to work because I'm filthy rich and descended from slave owners - but that's not right, since I'm descended from several generations of dirt poor farmers who busted their asses all their lives for next to nothing.

How is this an advantage again?

meme - that's quite an accusation, I am only reading a few responders here you might be referring to, first of all I don't think Can appreciates the innuendo, but what's more important:

I don't suppose you care to name the names of the racists on board?

Seriously I am just curious, enlighten us.

I was also looking at a warrant officer program in the Reserves (CID, not pilot) but again, I don't know for certain that I want back in the military. Currently weighing the options.....

BTW, Donger, how did that turn out for you?

Well, good luck.

How did getting turned down entrance to OCS because I'm not a minority or a woman turn out?

I'll just say that most of the people on this board will know who I'm not talking about.

That's all I'm saying because I do not want my more important point to be lost on a handful of folks who are wondering if I think they have hooded sheets in their closets.

Hey dude, I am on your side, but I want you to know there is indeed a NAAWP

Actually it would a libelist comment. Slander is spoken, libel is written.

Oh, you don't want the stupid shit you say to overshadow the smart shit you say.

You ARE Imus.

You believe in accountablility yes? Shouldn't you stand up and be counted for what you've said?

No, that's not acceptable, I know very well that you will never ever come out and say it for fear of being incorrect, basically you are a cowardly being. Maybe I haven't "been here" long enough for you but you still owe the people you accuse, the honesty and not to mention give yourself credibility by making a stand.

But I assume you will rather just hide behind your tenure and just continue the speculation and innuendo.

Personally I would rather be called a racist then be speculated about, be a man for pete's sake - stand up for yourself.
