Looking for a fact in a SteveD screed is like looking for a virgin in a whorehouse.

God, the revisionism just never stops with you righties! "The problem with Clinton was there were so many scandals, it would have taken several special prosecutors to handle them all." This is just plain crazy talk, no other way to describe it. Ken Starr was not a lone ranger; he had a...

Bullshit. Those US Attorneys were fired for investigating Republicans (like Carol Lam in San Diego, who bagged Duke CunningSCAM and was going after Foggo, Wilkes and Rep. Jerry Lewis), or for not rabidly prosecuting Democrats (like David Iglesias in NM, who got hassled by Senator Domenici and...

They ALL do. I said "fired IN THE MIDDLE of their terms." Clinton fired none in the middle of their terms. Before Bush Jr., it was almost unheard of to do so. The few US Attorneys who were fired mid-term over all the previous US presidents were all guilty of clear-cut egregious personal...

I'm sure if a Black man says that to the 'wrong' Black woman that he could wind up losing some teeth. Just like a lot of Blacks don't want to hear the n-word come out of anybody's mouth. Imus knew what he was saying, but he didn't care. Worse, he thought he had cover by dragging out the...

Nobody's saying Imus can't say anything he wants to. But the last time I checked, the right to free speech didn't include the right to spew anything you wanted over public airwaves. Nobody has a constitutional right to their own TV show. And since the number of TV channels are limited...

Why not? You've already played the victim card while accusing others of doing the same: In this fucking country everybody is a "victim" unless you are while male then it's an open season, no mercy for you. Yeah, every White male in this country is suffering oppression, including Bush and...

That's not the point madmunny was making, but thanks for the non sequitur into your paranoid delusions all the same.

I saw this ad recently and it was silly but not only for the reason Elliott thinks. I found myself thinking that 20 years ago, that commercial would not have been made because either (a) nobody would have been stupid enough to suggest it, or (b) if somebody was stupid enough to suggest it...

People who go looking for excuses to be bigots are going to be bigots regardless. So stop acting like it's the fault of people you're prejudiced against already that you act like an asshole towards them.

Based on your initial post ("What I have never understood about these conflicts is: If the show offends you, why do you turn it on and watch it or listen to it?"), it looks like what's bothering you is the fact that this issue is news in the first place. The reason it's news is: Imus >>>...

You seem insistent on missing the point that if something is controversial enough, it's going to get in the news. Like you said, if you don't like the show (in this case, the NEWS), then turn it off.

Welcome to the age of YouTube. It doesn't matter if you saw a program firsthand anymore; if it's controversial, somebody's going to put it on the net. Then everybody gets to weigh in on it. Get used to it.

Let's put it this way: Imus had a window of opportunity in which he could turned this whole thing largely to his advantage. He had the microphone and the camera, so had he been sincere or even just clever enough to realize that the targets he chose were the wrong ones, he could have said...

It was "mishandled" because he didn't, and probably still doesn't, feel like he did anything wrong. It took him two days to apologize. The day after he insulted the team, he said "I don't understand what the problem is, really." Look it up for yourself. You're right, he should have only...

Unlike the GOP Congress, right? No, wait, that's not right. :p Name one US attorney Clinton fired in the middle of his/her term.

Trying To Have It Both Ways, Part 1: What Imus said was inexcusable, but let's drag out the "rappers do it too!" excuse anyway. Trying To Have It Both Ways, Part 2: What Imus said was inexcusable, but now let's call it a mistake (i.e., unintentional, and therefore probably excusable...

What "Minority cause" are you talking about? AFAIK the only thing racial minorities in America want is to be treated the same as White Americans: judged by conduct, not by race. And stop making this about Sharpton and Jackson; they are irrelevant. Do you honestly think that if A&J never...

You sound just like the asshole I ran into years ago in a barbershop who said I shouldn't mind him smoking because the air was already polluted by passing traffic. Hell, I didn't even complain about his smoking, I just moved out of the way of his smoke stream, but that didn't keep him from...
