If the glove don’t fit you must acquit. Don Imus can go on the air slurring every race, creed, and culture for all I care, he has the right to do so. Free Speech! What is wrong with our society when they chastise someone for utilizing their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS as amended by the United States Congress? Do we live in the 1950s running around accusing people of communism in a massive witch hunt? The FCC (not that I agree with censorship or anything) will censor things broadcasted on open airwaves if they are not seen fit to be heard by the American public. By the way, we live in such a war and hate filled world that I think adults who listen to Imus can choose what they listen to without being told what to do by the government. Imus should have been fined just like any other radio show host who let the F-Word slip out on the air. 
We’re trusting Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to tell us what’s right and wrong? Seriously, these two leaders are known for controversy. Are major advertisers so scared of offending a market sector that they can’t take a stance to back free speech? Can NBC please get their heads out of the hole they’re all hiding in and show the world that they still have a backbone. By no means am I against civil rights, I think what Imus said was wrong and stupid, but I believe he can go on the air and trash anyone he wants to without being penalized. Does anyone remember Howard Stern? Tell me he wasn’t demeaning to women and everyone where he felt he should act like an ass. Even as I write this I am trying to watch what I say for fear of being hunted down and burned at a stake. Maybe Imus trashed the Today Show one time too many.
Maybe Rush Limbaugh and his evil band of stooges should just step off and go abuse some pain killers. Alright, I’m overly worked up now, its time to go relax with Steven Colbert and make fun of Anderson Cooper.
