This is not what happened to Imus (warning; graphic photo.)
I am disgusted at people like Pat Buchanan and Rush calling what happen to Imus a lynching.

This is a lynching



To use a term so charged with meaning to black people in this country is beyond reprehensible.

2. Unfortunately, this entire Imus affair has been overblown and exagerated........
on BOTH sides. Using the term 'lynching' by Imus's advocates and supporters is despicable.

6. Imus is 100% to speak ...

No one is suing him, he cannot be prosecuted in a court of law. The community rebelled and threatened product boycotts and the advertisers responded. Imus is free to spout his vicious spew on a soapbox or on satellite radio.
