don imus, racist, comedian or windbag?

TCampbell @TCampbell (180) • United States 24 Jun 08

It seems that Mr. Imus has again exercised his right to free speach and upset a few people. Now I know he can be really controversial and I don't agree with everything he says but should Mr. Imus and other radio hosts be censored?...

Do you think Don Imus has a new breed of fan because of what he did?

vwlssknght @vwlssknght (653) • United States 13 Apr 07

Sadly enough, for as many listeners as Don Imus lost due to the horrible nature of the things he said about the woman's basketball team at Rutgers University, I bet he gained as many, or more, new fans. There are many people out...

Should Don Imus be fired?

AndiCat @AndiCat (325) • United States 11 Apr 07

What do you think? Yes, he made a stupid, insensitive remark about the Rutgers girls . . . but do you think firing is too tough a punishment? Is the 2-week suspension appropriate or not enough? What do you think of the seeming...
