MSNBC to Imus: You're FIRED!

[Masterj]

Who do you think you're kidding, Masterj?

Everybody knows Noo Yawkers have the weirdest accents of all! I bet you couldn't pronounce the letter "r" if your life depended on it! :laugh:

Northern CT, Nova, northern. I live above the northern line that separates the Boston Red Sox fans from the Yankees fans. I might live in NYC now, but I am a New England girl through and through.

Okay, so you're ridiculously rich, your vowel sounds are absurdly broad and you insist on wearing pink with green and mismatched plaids.

My bad.

Ha, ha - that's so funny. Nope - not ridiculously rich, although I wish. Before my dad built our house it was a potato field. Picture a tiny town without a grocery store and pharmacy (although 2 liquor stores of course!), lots of farms, and a bunch of kids with nothing to do but find somewhere to drink. Oh yes, and lots of soccer moms.

And the only thing absurdly broad these days is my ! :blowkiss:

and of course my mouth, how could I forget that!

I notice you don't deny the crimes against sensible fashion...

here, you go, more blatant hypocrisy and double-standards, right here!! i was wondering if they would ever get around to discussing this. they must be feeling some of the heat, and decided to go through the motions of doing something about it. but of course, they had no specific initiative, and they came up with nothing new, just a bunch of black execs who wanted to reinforce their rights to free speech and give each other lots of slaps on the back.

exhibit A:
---While Simmons, Liles and the rapper Common agreed "there is a problem," Simmons cautioned against trying to limit rappers' free-speech rights.

He said that "poets" always come under fire for their unsanitized descriptions of the world.

"We're talking about a lot of these artists who come from the most extreme cases of poverty and ignorance ... And when they write a song, and they write it from their heart, and they're not educated, and they don't believe there's opportunity, they have a right, they have a right to say what's on their mind," he said." ---

DISCLAIMER: this only applies to black people..... obviously.

at least he did go so far as to apologize for the demeaning, sexist lyrics against women.... but i'm sure he's thoroughly enjoying the millions those ugly words have made him... and will continue to do so!

I saw Simmons last night speaking (Donny Deutch) about the 3 words that should be bleeped when on the radio (but the artists are still allowed to record) which to him are "" "ho" and "".

That's all fine and dandy but what got me peeved was that he had no problem saying out loud on Donny's show the first two words, but absolutely nobody dare utter the N word on that show. To me that showed the utmost disrespect STILL to women. NONE of those words should be uttered on a talk show, in any context.

Why is the N word holier than the B word or the H word?! (I don't really want an answer to that!)

 

[Nova]

Why is the N word holier than the B word or the H word?!

Because women have the "C word" to get especially offended by. Gays have the "F word;" Jews have the "K word."

That's it. Each group gets to declare one word -- and one word only -- forbidden.

Sorry, but I don't make the rules.

producer McGurk is on Hannity and Colmes right now--he has the nerve to show his face for the first time since the "incident"--McGurk is nervous as hell,stammering,looking down on the ground as he tries to explain what happened--railing against Al Sharpton big time,says he's a clown,and that Sharpton would park in handicapped spots,and that Sharpton would pretend to be in a wheelchair to get in front of a line--his defense isMcGurk says he didn't get the memo where he couldn't say "hos"--he thinks he's funny--he looks like a AIDS patient--McGurk never apologized to the woman's basketball team--says Sharpton's a terrrorist--nice to see Mcgurk squirming here,on Imus he was so arrogant smarmy and grim--McGurk saying Madonna is a two legged yeast infection now--he is low class to the max

 

[reb]

you can't tell blacks to not call themselves the "N" word because they would be outraged at having their freedom of speech repressed. ohhhh,,, the irony of it all.

And whats wrong with having 2 liquor stores? You end up in jail for disorderly conduct of course!

NEW YORK - Don Imus’ former producer said Thursday that the radio exchange that got them both fired was wrong, but that it would be horrible if people could no longer poke fun at each other.
Bernard McGuirk, a 20-year producer and on-air jester for the “Imus in the Morning” program, was fired a week after his boss for the banter in which members of the Rutgers University women’s basketball team were called “nappy-headed hos.”
McGuirk, in an interview on Fox News Channel’s “Hannity & Colmes,” said he “didn’t get the memo” that the word “hos” had reached the level of the N-word in offensiveness. Still, apologies to the Rutgers team were appropriate, he said.
But McGuirk said he and Imus had engaged in the same locker-room humor for many years, and received pats on the back and raises from their superiors before CBS Radio fired them this time.
He sharply criticized the Rev. Al Sharpton, who led the campaign to get them fired.
“It seemed like he terrorized broadcast executives,” he said. “It seemed like they were in a fetal position under their desks sucking their thumbs on their BlackBerries, trying to coordinate their response.”

This was crazy IMO.. If we need to do away with anyone should be Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and that Faragun )

Opps hit the enter key on accident. Anyway, for JJ to be complaining about anyone is to funny as he is such an upstanding human being, LOL! I am gonna keep my comments to myself as this is an injustice to me as Imus is who he is, firing someone for freedom of speaking his opinion on his show is ludicious! Most have been a dem! (save it, not going to the political arena!) Dems think anything is ok , of course if it is a dem that does it, LMAO! Blow J.. ok if its a dem, protecting the country and just letting others HAVE an opionion ( unless you believe in the Dem's releam of life) PRICELESS!

Im glad he was fired. What he said was DISGUSTING, those young girls/women dont deserve to be called "natty haired ho's"
And.......you know who he was talking about. buh bye Imus, good RIDDANCE ot your kind.
Its time to end this nonsense. Its NOT funny or entertainment to call certain people horrible names.

 

[reb]

but... it's perfectly funny, entertaining, and an expressive "art form" when blacks say it......??? apparently it's OK (and to be expected, even!) to talk this way if you're black.. but if you're white, and do an imitation of them, putting the spotlight on the way they talk about themselves, you're the anti-christ and worthy of crucifixion.

I believe the term Imus used was "nappy haired hoes", not "natty".

They can say anything they like about themselves.
It's kind of like, I can say what I want about my family, but if anybody else has anything to say, I'm going to defend them.
It's called loyalty.
