Liberal Hypocrisy Over Imus Remarks

Have you heard about the scandal embroiling liberal radio show host Don Imus? Probably not- a liberal media protects its own.

Last week, before 70 million listeners Imus called the Rutgers women's basketball team a bunch of "nappy-headed hos" during his Wednesday morning show.

The comment is disgusting and the black community is justifiably upset with his remarks. What's surprising, however, is not that Imus is under fire. It's that he hasn't been fired already. Let's pretend the comments came from, say, Rush Limbaugh. Would the outcry be any different?

The probability is obvious. Rush has already been fired once for making far more innocuous remarks.

Funny how the howls from the left for Imus's resignation have been conspicuously absent.

Actually, most of the cries for his dismissal HAVE come from the left.
How's that Iraq thing working out by the way?

It must be your unique capacity for linear thought which connects Don Imus with Iraq.

I shouldn't be so snide. The point would be well taken if it didn't take the left nearly a week to get into protest mode over this issue- a point brought up by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson no less.

I'm simply stating that were it Rush or anyone on the right it wouldn't have taken so long for the issue to catch fire.
