Left's Neverending Hypocrisy and Don Imus

Please note I am not an Imus fan, I personally have no respect or admiration for the man. I believe that he is and always has been a grotesque, detestible lout. That having been said, I am once again amused as the Left eats one of its own for overstepping the allowed boundaries of political correctness.

So Don Imus called the girls of the Rutgers Women's Basketball Team a bunch of "nappy ho's" and "jiggaboo wannabes." As epithets go, this one is actually rather mild, but in this world of protected groups and political correctness, it is a mortal sin in the press and on the Left.

Nevermind that grotesque, fat, lesbo, loudmouth Rosie O'Donnell accusing President Bush of going to war for money, of being complicit in the murder of 3000 American citizens by plotting to blow up the World Trade Center. Nevermind Al "Bigmouth" Sharpton accusing Wappinger Falls, New York policemen of kidnapping, rape, and battery in the lies surrounding the Tawana Brawley case (you know he never did appologize for that), and inflamming the riots in Crown Heights. Nevermind the comments of Jesse "Heimytown" Jackson. They are among the "protected, preferred groups in America. We don't dare speak ill of them lest we be castigated and labeled as "racists," "bigots," or "homophobes" (I guess in her case I should say "lesbophobes" or perhaps "gross, loudmouthed, dumb, lesbo, phobes).

So Imus gets suspended and the others, who are among the protected species of human beings, get away with saying anything they like. Well, like I said, as far as Imus goes, couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I'm just struck with the hypocrisy of the Left...once again.

Advertisers Pull Out of Imus Show
'I Don't Deserve to Be Fired,' Says the Shock Jock, Under Attack for Slur

As skittish advertisers began to pull out and calls for his resignation reverberated, embattled shock jock Don Imus yesterday continued a campaign of contrition over racially and sexually insensitive remarks he made, even while insisting that he shouldn't lose his national television show and syndicated radio program.

Imus, who last week called the Rutgers University women's basketball players "nappy-headed hos," said on his morning show yesterday that he will seek a meeting with the team. His on-air slur has mushroomed into widespread condemnation, fueled round-the-clock news coverage and resulted in a two-week suspension of his show, carried on MSNBC and CBS Radio.

"I don't deserve to be fired," Imus, 67, said yesterday during his show. "So I should be punished, and I'm being punished, and not insignificantly, by the way. I'm not whining, because I don't feel as bad as those kids feel."

Imus's comments came a few hours before an emotional news conference by the Rutgers team. Her players seated next to her, their faces fixed with grim expressions, Rutgers Coach C. Vivian Stringer told the assembled reporters, "We have all been physically and emotionally spent and hurt" by Imus's remarks, which she called "deplorable, despicable and abominable and unconscionable." The team's players said they would meet with Imus.

Poor Donny, a victim of his own creators. His program would have been off the air a long time ago had he not been propt up artificially by his Lefty buddies. Like all Liberal political talk shows, this one can hardly compete in the open market...like Air America and MSNBC it has bee kept afloat because it serves a Left-wing propaganda purpose.

Ah but now, now that Imus has crossed the Rubicon of Left-wing, moonbat politics and used racially charged epithets, it is a real question whether or not his program will survive.

With any luck, it won't. It all depends on how much value the Libs put on having him available to pimp their latest worst seller books.

Long Live the American Republic!
