Don Imus should be fired at 30 Rockerfeller Plaza? Why don't they just do it over the phone?
Don Imus is a piece of scum and should be eradicated from public view. Hate and intolerance should be greeted only with just that.
Lets back up a minute-What Don Imus said was stupid, ignorant. He is being suspended.But lets not be hypocrits- Where is Sharpton when it is proven his client Tawana B, lied----Did Big Al go apologize----
Where is the outrage from J Jackson on all the black rappers talking about "doing the hos" Did I miss the call for that protest? Give Imus a break, stupid yes, racist, no...
