since imus lost his job.............letterman should lose his job.
since imus lost his job.............letterman should lose his job.

really...? what racial slur did dave use...?

both are degrading and equally so. i understand why imus was removed and dave should be as well, i am under the impression you think i am defending imus.
Said Sharpton: “He says he wants to be forgiven. I hope he continues in that process. But we cannot afford a precedent established that the airways can commercialize and mainstream sexism and racism."
equally so...I respectfully disagree....
also......i think dave's apology was sincere as was imus's apology.
I understand your point...I just happen to think dave's comment and imus' comments are not equal...
here's an interesting video from the fire dave protest....

Imus lost his job I thought he got it back? So is Imus working or Not?
As for Dave, The other day on Fox News they were so appalled by what Letterman said how weak his apology was they wanted a apology from the administration. Most notably Obama especially during the election no one from the Obama side came forward to ward off the attacks on Palin and her family. Family is off limits and equated Obama's daughters, would he want anyone attacking them?
Well Obama's girls are exactly that girls, not an adult of 18 years. The President can't jump to everyone's wants and needs and he is going to burn bridges from time to time including from me too.

the fanatics that want dave removed are the same as the fanatics that removed imus. regardless of reason.....fanatics are taking over.
here we agree....
and i am too lazy to post links......i like reading the opinions of others, it is more interesting to me.
i will become a fanatic.........well, only if she is not an adult.
did that make sense?
I don't really care for Letterman all that much and,
personally I think the joke was way out of line.I also think Dave shouldn't be fired ,and I think his second apology was more sincere than the first.With that being said we got way more important issues to worry about right now.
Imus is working. I see him in the AM on RFD TV...it's a Rural/Farming Cable Channel...
I think so....
Exactly, sometimes if you put yourself in harms way, it bites back and bites back real hard. Just plain hard to take, I always wondered why were they out on the campaign trail didn't they have to be in school?
Peace

I completely disagree. You did not put your daughter on tv and parade her all over the country as an example of the supremacy of your moral values. In addition, said daughter went on to capitalize on that fame in her own right in doing the talk show circuit. She's been putting herself in the public eye ever since the campaign, even more so than her mother is.
This is vastly different from Imus. Letterman was making what everyone knew was a joke. We can argue all day about whether it was in poor taste, but nobody in their right mind would ever believe it was intended as legit criticism of the Palin daughters or some sort of comment on their character. Just a joke about a current state of affairs that the family themselves made a big deal of. Imus was offering real criticism intended to demean the athletes in question. It was intended as a slight against the program, as a real criticism of the team's make up and character, and there was no joke about it. In addition, none of those athletes put their character or upbringing in the public eye, Imus did based on his own prejudices. The Palins did bring their daughter and her pregnancy to the world at large. They're going to have to live with it.
The ONLY problem I see here is the mix up over which daughter was actually at the event, which is a harmless mistake he has apologized for. End of issue. Also, when did Dave call anyone a cunt on air? That accusation was levelled in the other thread and from what I've heard, he never said anything remotely like that.
Pat Robertson got is ass handed to him for saying that and he should have, But that's alittle different dont you think. HUgo Chevez is a tyrant. then agin some on the left feel the same way about S. Palin.
Besides that...
The only one I know that you're referring about is the comment O'Reilly made, again as always taken out of context.( and the right does it to ) I mean think about it Al sharpton was at the table with him. and if anybody was offended he would have been the first to say something.
Not only that I've been watching Bill almost every night for like 8 years now and honestly yeah he can be a little harsh somtimes but he has never smeared a politicians family member. I 'll give you an example Joe Biden's daughter. He didn't even touch it out of respect for the family. Yet remember when Jeb Bushes daughter was in all that trouble over some prescription drugs ? The main stream media had a field day.
That being said, the joke wasn't in great taste, but it wasn't the worst thing that I've heard.
But then again, I also don't think that Imus should have been ousted either. If you are offended by someone or don't like someone, than don't watch... simple enough.

But was he calling for Rush Limbaugh to be fired when Rush took his shots at Chelsea?
So, just so we're clear. BillO=always taken out of context. Dave=literally meant what he said?
