Imus is at it again !!! http://fmqb.com/goout.asp?u=http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=117733

Imus clearly said Pacman was being harrassed simply because of his race.  Some people listen only with the ears, while the brain is disengaged.

No, he said that in his apology, saying that is what he meant.  But that wasn't his original comment.

what I'm more astonished by is the fact that Warner Wolf still has a job

How about being astonished that "Pacman" still has his job?

If the events cited in the above mentioned blog are anything close to true, this guy does not exactly qualify for a good conduct medal.

Who gives a bleep what he says? How does what he says damage anyone? This stuff has gotten so ridiculous. Personally, anyone could say anything they want about my race, my ethnicity, etc, and I wouldn't give a damn. I'm too busy trying to earn a living and get on with my life to be bothered with it. This super sensitiivity and political correctness is off the charts.

black man here.  And I'm not offended by Imus' statement, which, by the way, is very accurate. 

Let's move on to something relevant.

I agree that Imus was not making a racial slur, but he just has to avoid the whole subject.  There are people waiting to pounce on any remark that he makes concerning race.  The Rutgers remark has just made race a forbidden topic for him and that's his own fault.  As soon as I heard him say it, I thought that he'd be in trouble again.

that just proves what a dope imus is. if you're going to defend someone because, like you, you believe they're being wrongly targeted, pacman would be last person you want to use as an example. this story will be going away quickly. you have two rotten individuals involved. there's no good vs. evil plotline here. cable tv news cant sell a story like that. even drudge who despises imus won't link to it.  more pregnant teens, please...

There was a time in Imus' career when he would have told Sharpton et al. to take a long walk off a short pier.  I guess he's gotten as afraid of the PC police as so many others have.

And no, it's not his fault that race is a forbidden topic.  It's the fault of Sharpton, Jackson et al. who have nothing better to do with their lives than lie in wait for whitey to screw up.  Why he lets himself be pushed around by these race baiters is beyond me.
