:: Imus Trouble With Words ::

What's the difference between what Imus said compared with Melanie Morgan and her cohorts Officer Vic and Lee Rodgers  of Hate Radio.  Imus said something contemptible about a the women members of the Rutger's BB team after they lost.  Melanie, et al say malicious miserable hideous hate filled and violent rhetoric about anyone they choose to disagree with on every day of the week to the point that people go out and commit violent acts.  Yet these people are still on the air.

Imus apparently has a streak of prejudice.  Go figure.  It does not surprise me that someone who has said the things he has about various and sundry people on "opinion radio" would stoop to mild KSFO trickery to gain attention.  Frankly, I don't know whether Imus even believes what spewed out of his mouth.  The guy, just like Limbaugh, is merely an entertainer.  Sadly, they wouldn't be successful if the invective spewed by their ilk wasn't popular.  That he (and others like him) uses others and purposefully says malicious things to garner ratings is a statement about our society/culture and is absolutely pitiful.

I don't feel sorry for Imus.

Or, Melanie.

Or, Limbaugh.

Or, Coulter. 

Or, O'Reilly......or their ilk.

I don't listen to that drivel.

Frankly, I rarely, if ever, think of them at all. 

I do feel sorry for our world of ignorance. 

Now, get rid of the rest of these nincompoops. 

As Imus found out, there is a thin line between love and hate.... and he managed to tip the scale.
