Who else thinks that this is incredible bullshit? What happened should never have happened. It's situations like this that make me incredibly disgusted with America. How can we be such intolerant assholes?
No, I'm not talking about what he said. I'm talking about his firing. 
It's funny how conservatives or even moderates receive such a backlash from the left. If something's even a little bit offensive, they're slammed for it very harshly. The liberals, though, they seem to be able to get away with just about anything!
I don't see how what Don Imus said warranted his firing. So he said something that shouldn't have been said. That doesn't mean that he CAN'T say it. He has every fucking right to. I have every right to say what I please. As long as it's not a threat, I have every fucking right to say as I please.
Nobody has the right to not be offended. Sorry, but that's just not how the world works. You're living in a fairy tale world if you think that you can achieve not offending anybody. Sure, I guess it's achievable. You just have to make sure that nobody utters a damn word and stays locked up in their rooms in complete solitude.
Everybody offends someone by what they say and do. You just can't escape it. If I wear my hat backwards, I offend my dad. If I say that Communism is an impractical economic system, I'm bound to offend someone who lives by it. The only way you can let people live their lives and not be offended is to not let yourself be so wound up in petty little things. We have differing opinions, and we live our lives differently. Get over yourselves.
Oh, and to all of those leftists who think that Political Correctness is just a fabrication of the right to use as a tool against the left... this is a perfect example of PC in practice. People being fired/removed for saying something that some people don't like. Guess what? It's their opinion. Let them have it, just as you have yours. Though, that's too much to fucking ask of you idiots, isn't it?
whoa.
