I never listened to him. And i dont believe it's necessary. If Mr. Imus is as some say in the habit of insulting thousands of people over the years what could possibly be right about that?
I don't believe for an instant that anyone who has donated to charities, no matter how much money he's raised for charities and other worthy cause deserves a brake for insulting other people. IMHO people need to quit defending a man who clearly has no couth and is responsible for what can clearly be defined as media garbage.
Is he a racist? I don't know. It is clear though that from all the comments made regarding the content of his show that it fits what is called "shock Jock" media. Again i ask. what can possibility be encouraging or upbuilding about that? Answer? Nothing

I listened to him for more than 20 years. And, I, as anyone else who ever listened to him, know how much money he's donated to charities, how much money he's raised for charities and other worthy causes; they would know that he's a good guy who simply said something wrong. Yes, it was offensive... shit, get in line with the thousands of people he's insulted over the years -- from politicians to athletes, to his very own staff, executives... you name it! AND, CBS KNEW this....! Heck, they extended his contrat a few months ago and offered him 10 mil per year!! And, now, they're "appalled"? Please...!
I hope he wins... and wins big.
