Ed Schultz : Don Imus SHOULDN'T be fired
I am beginning to think old big Eddie is more of an impostor pretending he's progressive.

1. Fire him. If I said that in my job, and I wouldn't, I'd be cooked.

3. They shouldn't fire him.
He should resign. If he doesn't, THEN they should fire him.

If not out of morality, then out of protecting themselves from lawsuits by black/female employees who work under Imus.

yep.

edit: i just caught some more details on ABC: MSNBC is suspending 'the show' for 2 weeks. not I'm-ass.
He's actually employed by CBS (or the radio station is owned by CBS).

13. MSNBC can keep him on, but we don't have to watch Imus and Dems don't have to go on his show.
Edited on Mon Apr-09-07 05:44 PM by flpoljunkie
Let them explain why they choose to go on Imus' rascist, misogynistic, homophobic show.

21. I don't think he should be either
Why should wanting him fired be considered progressive.

Imus is an obnoxious piece of garbage.

I don't listen to him, yet many politicians and others within the progressive communty have gone on his show.

Aren't they enabling Imus?

22. Ed said that public opinion is what is going to effect Imus
If people are pissed, they won't listen and that is what is going to hurt Imus.

He's right.
