Did you ever know that Right Reverend Al Sharpton has never appologized about Tawana Brawley....here's a link explaining that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tawana_Brawley

But Sharpton asked for Imus' appology for some stupid bullshit like this.


I'm tired of this posturing and grandstanding.....I have the right to my opinion and I will fight people tooth and nail to keep it!
Lyle. You hit this one down perfectly. Imus has been talking trash about almost every ethnic on the globe for years. Albeit distasteful, it's part of his spiel.
Sharpton and Jackson are both shake-down artists with little or no credibility. Don't know what happened to Jackson along the way. I would have thought that he would have learned quite a bit from the late Dr. King.
The proverbial shit really didn't hit the fan until Obama was forced into making a public statement. The respective 'news' agencies took notice as the possible 44th President of the U.S. finally made a statement.
Although Imus made an outlandish and insensitive statement, it's par for the course in his business. He's said much worse about people of Asian, Mexican and Euro decent in the past. This country is going to shit in a handbag at light-speed velocity. It's almost as if we have entered a new era of Orwellian thought police dictating etiquette to a radio talk show jockey - fukin laughable and a bit scary to say the least.
