Anyways, if he is as I thought, then his show has probably always been offending people. Why's this so different? And since when did "nappy headed hos" become a racist remark anyways?

When I heard what he had said, I thought it was a very "Imus" thing to say. I had to listen to him every mornign for about a year before i finally began going to work early and changing the station so i didnt have to. I found him an annoying hypocrit who couldnt take criticism, but really, what he said was just not that bad. If he had Robin (frm stern), he would be fine, because she would laugh and say "Oh you..." and that would have been it. Opie and Anthony could have gotten away with it too (most likely), but I think Mr Imus is a victim of Michael Richard's little tirade. That little incident made the already sensitive twits even more sensitive. AND, Mel Gibson set the stage for that as well.
That being said, Al Sharpton and ESPECIALLY Jesse Jackson need to shut their fucking hypocritical mouths.
