Anyone remember freedom of speech? If you diagree with someone debate them. Pussy libs now whine, cry, make new laws against ideas they disagree with and then pretend they are holier than thou. Get a backbone and join the debate dont outlaw it. (range mods included)
I love it when people I diagree with spout off. Rosie, Hillary, shiv and shep, the more they talk the more they make my point. Rosie everyday spouting how America sucks, caused 911, and how we murdered a billion people in Iraq shows the average working stiff how loony the left is. The more she spews the better.

The race card has come up early in this thread,and to think

I thought it was about the First Amendment,what a dope I am.

Imus, is a moron and has been since he pimped bill clinton's bid

for the White House in "92" he is a tool of the left.

However, I think this debate should be ,"what words can we

use" ? The moonbat PC Police want to dictate the way our

language can be used and surpress what they don't like.

But, only if said language comes form a "non-PC pimp" the

rappers can say any thing that pops into their heads and it

gets a pass from the hyporites.


We are losing our language and our rights under the 1st

Amendment and the left in this country has its heads in the

but now it goes after its own.....lol

I love it when knucklehead conservatives bring the 1st amendment into a discussion since it illustrates their profound ignorance.

This is the first amendment to the Constitution:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

"Congress shall make no law"

Congress did not make a law preventing Imus from making his racist comments.

Imus was not arrested.

Imus was not charged with a crime.

There is NO violation of our first amendment rights...there is NO violation of "freedom of speech".

The promotion of using government to restrict our expression is solely in the realm of conservatives. They are the ones that are anxious to censor magazines...movies...TV shows and music.

When Janet Jackson exposed her nipple on national TV, the outcry was from the usual suspects...wacko right wing religious nuts.

Trying to blame "liberals" for Imus getting fired is laughable.

There is not a liberal withing a mile of the executive offices of CBS where the decision was made to can Imus.

Not a liberal within a mile of ANY of the executive offices of the corporations that decided to pull their advertising from his sad show.

Equally ignorant is trying to blame liberals for motorcycle helmet laws...smoking restriction laws...cellphone restriction laws etc...

These are all public safety matters...ALL regulated by the states. Helmet and cellphone laws are pushed by the insurance companies (again...no liberal is within a mile of their executive offices) because they know that they reduce accidents.

Smoking bans in public areas are a safety and annoyance issue for second hand smoke. No "thought police" there. Just good public health policy...again regulated by the states.

I never listened to Imus...I though he mumbled too much and I really never "got" his supposed humor.

I don't have an opinion on the correctness of his firing...I really don't give a shit.

But to blame "liberals" for this is completely insane and absurd. Any regulation of the airwaves has ALWAYS been pushed by conservatives who would like nothing more than for the government to regulate everything you read, hear or watch.

Christian Right complaints result in laws against “indecency”.

House Passes Indecency Bill (http://www.christianpost.com/article/20060608/5943_House_Passes_Indecency_Bill.htm)


While the bill will have many implications, its biggest impact will be felt among media giants that violate FCC standards on broadcasting. The bill increases to $325,000 the per-incident fine the FCC can impost on license for broadcasting indecent or obscene material – a tenfold increase from the current maximum fine, which is $32,500.

Pro-family groups celebrated the bill’s passage, calling it a “major victory for American families.”

“Finally, broadcasters will be held financially responsible for the filthy content they transmit,” said Lanier Swann, Director of Government Relations for Concerned Women for America. “This victory belongs to the citizens and grassroots organizations who have taken a stand for families by insisting that senators heed their demand for clean airwaves.”

anet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” during the 2004 Super Bowl halftime show had prompted a wave of Christian conservative groups to prompt both chambers of Congress in raising the ante for broadcast giants. Some groups, like the Washington-based Family Research Council, placed broadcast decency as one of its top agendas for 2005 and 2006.


Christian Right GOP’ers have infiltrated government agencies so they could instill their brand of “morality” on us all by controlling the FCC

FCC Hires Conservative Indecency Critic (http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/recent_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1001010563)


The Federal Communications Commission has hired as an advisor an anti-pornography activist and former lobbyist for groups that push for Christian precepts in public policy. The move may herald a reinvigorated campaign against broadcast indecency and bring renewed pressure on cable to reconsider its racy offerings.

Penny Nance, until recently a board member of Concerned Women for America, is working as a special advisor in the FCC’s Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis, said aides to FCC Chairman Kevin Martin.

The strategic planning office helps develop agency policy. Concerned Women for America describes its mission as “helping…to bring Biblical principles into all levels of public policy.” In recent weeks Nance, a longtime supporter, stepped down from the organization’s board, said an official with the Washington, D.C.-based group.


“… to bring Biblical principles into all levels of public policy” HUH?!?!?!

How about stores that will not sell Playboy because of pressure from conservative Christian pressure groups…

Contractual Clause Leads to Removal of Porn from Texas 7-Eleven Store ( http://headlines.agapepress.org/archive/3/232004d.asp)


A 7-Eleven convenience store in Texas has agreed to pull pornographic magazines from its shelves after being contacted by a legal firm that seeks to protect individuals' religious freedoms.

It was back in 1982 when a Christian businessman sold property to 7-Eleven, Inc., for a store in Fort Worth. The contract included a restrictive covenant which stated that the property could never be used for the sale or display of any obscene material.

Recently, the Christian businessman discovered that pornographic magazines were being sold at the store. Attorneys with Liberty Legal Institute intervened and, as attorney Hiram Sasser says, the offensive material was soon removed from the store's shelves.

"Here all this time has passed, and the next thing you know, they started selling Playboy in the 7-Eleven store -- so we contacted 7-Eleven," the LLI spokesman explains. "They're very willing to cooperate and remove all the pornography [from] the store, never to allow pornography in that store again."


Playboy may be many different things…but pornography it is not!

Of course by whatever definition they come up with of “pornography” they certainly don’t want anyone to watch it!

Conservatives Targeting Hotels to Eliminate Choice for Others (http://atheism.about.com/b/a/258105.htm)


Conservative Christians really don't like pornography - and they don't like anything that is even remotely similar to pornography. This is why thirteen conservative groups have joined forces to pressure hotels in America to stop offering adult movies to their customers. It's not enough for conservative Christians to refuse to watch sexual material; they want to stop everyone else from doing so as well.

I doubt that anyone would care if they simply chose to avoid adult entertainment, by why do they want to deny everyone else the ability to make the same choice, much less a different choice? Why should everyone else in the nation have to abide by their religious rules and standards?

From CNN…

Though porn is now cheaply and readily accessible on the Internet, and through many other outlets, the activists chose to target the hotel industry in part because of the well-known brands of corporations that cater to family vacationers as well as business travelers. “These are places that you take your family -- these are respectable institutions,” said Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council. “Anything that brings porn into the mainstream is a concern. It just desensitizes people.”


The biggest "thought police" groups are Ultra-conservative Christian Right Wing Wacko organizations that are part and parcel of the GOP party.

Tell you what. If you are so incensed by this stuff, as you should be, then join me in universal condemnation of both sides for engaging in this nonsense.

Will you do this?

[JimKelly12203]

The whole thing is a goddamn media circus. Having listened to a little Imus for about five years now i must say that these comments are NOT even close to the worst he's ever made. Why make a big stink about it now? I think Imus was offensive as often as he was funny and i think i agreed with him politically as often as i disagreed with him. So i really don't give a damn either way but this is clearly a witch hunt.

It's all BS. This is no different from any other nonsense story the media has ramed down our throats. Terry Schivo, the runaway bride, Anna Nicole Smith (pre and post death), Lacy Peterson, Duke Lacross, hot blonde Alabama high school senior chick dissapears in Aruba, etc... etc... It's goo for our brains so we aren't thinking about relevant issues.

For the last two days Imus has dominated the sports media as well as the political media. Hardball was 85% Imus these past few days. Ditto every other show politically minded show. This shit put the Circus in Bread and Circuses. It's a national distraction from relevant and serious issues.

Two Rage Against the Machine quotes that i think are aplicable;

"The main attraction, distraction"

"They load the clip in Omnicolor, said they pack the 9, they fire it at prime time. Like sleeping gas every home was like Alcatraz and Mother#@$%#$s lost their minds"

You did this in another thread Pete and it does not apply here either.

I'll repeat what I said...

Your constant attempt to paint both parties (or political philosophies) into the same evil on every issue is absurd.

On THIS issue...an attempt at censorship and controlling what we watch, hear and read...is almost exclusively from the political right.

Try and play the "they all do it card" if you wish...it just makes YOU look like the political partisan hack trying to cover for one party (or political philosophy) over another.

But, just to make you happy...if anyone can supply ANY instance that liberals have attempted to coerce the government to suppress the media...I will condemn it. (or at least discuss if it is the same as what conservatives have been trying to do for centuries).
