But i guess the question might be since a person is suppose to have the right to say something does that mean he should? Perhaps not. As you pointed out the list is long with people who say offensive things of all kinds in all kinds of media. Where's the good in it? Who does it encourage?
Wouldn't it be nice if the list of people who say offensive things got a lot shorter and people begin to stand up for the rights of others who don't want to hear it?
Personally I don't think it's politically correct to engage in conversation that's decent and kind and i for one would encourage anyone to engage in it frequently. I know i'm gonna continue to make the effort.

You can't blame Imus when he was specifically hired for his controversial show and void a contract which specifically permits such controversy if not encourages such controversy.
Your PC police scares me more than what Imus said. While you are at it why don't we ban ALL rap music that is controversial or as you say mean. We can appoint a group of individuals to monitor every sector of speech on every airway and store shelf for mean things said and indecent material.
That is insane...Just think of what you are saying and the consequences if left unchecked.
