Rush Limbaugh and Imus remarks
« on: May 02, 2007, 04:03:18 pm »

I am a no nonsense guy... When the whole mess with Don Imus transpired we agreed that nappy headed hoes was definately a stupid an inappropriate thing to say on the airwaves...  Not sure if it was racist.  Maybe it was only due to the fact that this country is so racially charged, it's sick. So i guess it was a stupid thing to say considering the circumstances.

Now, 2 days ago rush limbaugh plays a song on the radio (public airwaves) titled "Barak the magic negro"... When I heard it I was excuse me? What the fu^&? Are these people completely screwed in the head?

Big media unfortunately has not made a single move to penaltize him, not to even mention firing him. But I want see rush taken off the air.  I value him as an entertainer but playing such garbage on the radio is appauling and makes Don Imus' comments look like child's play.

If you agree with my assesment, please join the "Fire Rush" movement on myspace.com.  Just add us to your top 5!

Nothing like having a drug addict with his own radio show.

Imus is a outspoken  jackass and I for one am glad he's gone. Free speech is good but these radical radio talk show hosts make me sick.  How about this a talk show host that talks about the good in the world for a change.

Those goody goody shows don't do well in the ratings. That's why 90% of what the media puts out there is the bad & the ugly.

Remember stern's movie?  Average stern fan listened to him 15 minutes per day on an average. Average stern hater listened to him for 2 hours on an average.  When asked why, both groups replied, we wanted to hear what he was going to say next.

Ratings positive or negative equals influx of listeners.  Listeners = ad revenue. Ad revenue = profit. A vicious circle.
