I have to say that i find this very concerning. While i definitely think that what he said was horrible, i think the reaction by the station and the advertisers is hugely hypocritical. Why not remove all music radio stations that play rap songs with violent, hate-filled lyrics? The way this should affect Imus is by people choosing not to listen.

Every once in a while on my way home from work i listen to a conservative radio show hosted by a guy name Mark Levin. In my opinion, this guy is a total jerk and loser. But i listen because i want to understand what people on the conservative side (though i'm not conservative) are saying. This guy says some incredibly hateful things about peo...

But i listen because i want to understand what people on the conservative side (though i'm not conservative) are saying. This guy says some incredibly hateful things about people. But i wouldn't call for him to be thrown off the air. I simply hope that someday people will stop listening to his garbage. In my opinion, the same should be true for Imus (who i never listen to by the way).

I never listen to Imus either, or Howard Stern, or people like him. But I believe Imus crossed the line in the fact that he wasn't making a point. Lenny Bruce was very shocking, but his shock value always made a point. If you want to talk about rap music and that shock value, well, the point is that this is an artist's interpretation of the community and the world as they see it. It can be shocking in that way, and it can also make a point. The problem is when people miss the point. And where was the media when this woman's athletics team were making all these accomplishments? Take the whole black/white issue out of the equation and I'll say this right now: Quit calling women "ho's"...

It's an objectification of women of sorts to say that we are only on this Earth to reproduce and to be sexually pleasurable to men and not be able to obtain sexual pleasure ourselves without being labeled in some fashion.
