Imus is Done

Joseph Farrah had an excellent WorldNetDaily article yesterday in which he wrote about shock jock Don Imus and his latest PR grabbing stunt denigrating black female athletes. Farrah disagreed with Imus’ punishment – the two week suspension, he thinks it was not enough and that he should be fired. Other notables and/or notorious who are calling for Imus’ termination include leftist liberals like Senators Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama, radical liberal activist Al Sharpton, Bruce Gordon, former head of the NAACP and a director of CBS Corp., along with conservatives like journalist Joseph Farrah of WorldNetDaily.

However, a NewsMax
article today conjectured, “Sen. Clinton may have had a personal motive to take on Imus. Clinton’s (campaign) e-mail blast could easily be viewed as payback against Imus for constantly attacking her on the air — even referring to her often as "satan” or the "devil.”" So Sen. Clinton may see this as an opportunity to get back a nemesis of hers even more than her apparent “outrage” at any racial insults.

Farrah asked in his article. "
But what should we expect from CBS and NBC? They are part of the same irresponsible entertainment industry that has neatly packaged and marketed this same kind of hate speech in the form of "urban music" or rap or hip-hop.”

His point is that Imus’ bosses are as much or more to blame for putting Imus and advocating or promoting the horrid filth that ungraces the airways and the raunchy rap music from which Imus gets his lurid racial slurs. What Imus said on the air is mild compared to the lyrics heard by millions of young people who listen to so-called urban hip hop or rap music. Farrah notes, “And so, when Imus goes, I also want to see Snoop Dog go. I want to see Eminem go. I want to see Mims go. I want to see Young Buck go. Along with them, I want to see the real exploiters go – the music moguls who produce and market this crap to your children."

Therefore the issue goes deeper than the superficial grizzled and decrepit Don Imus and his offensive racial affronts. Farrah concludes that the root cause of the rot when laid bare is, “That means the executives of Capital and Columbia Records gotta go. That means David Geffen needs to stop pretending to be a friend to black people with contributions to Barack Obama's presidential campaign and own up to his responsibility for trading in the sexual and racist hate speech of urban rap.” Wow, doesn’t that really sum up the basic issue doesn’t it?

American culture is being corrupted not only by the slime purveyors like the Imuses and Howard Sterns in the media, but by those who produce, promote and profit from selling sex, violence and drugs in music and entertainment. This decadent lifestyle is constantly being regarded more and more as acceptable and “cool”. These pimps of perversion including Imus are destroying the moral fabric of American society. No wonder the Islamic-terrorists see America as the great Satan – they see this side of America only . . .

  1. The Columbus Dispatch asked today the following hot topic question, “DO YOU AGREE WITH CBS' DECISION TO FIRE IMUS?”

    The following was my answer, “Yes, Imus was a purveyor of slime. However, his bosses and other media and entertainment elite including the music moguls, many of whom pimp a myriad of perverse, violent and woman-bashing media content and lyrics are every bit as deserving of being FIRED as Imus. The majority of other poll takers did not agree with me, however.
