No one should have the right to not be insulted.

Don Imus got fired for calling the Rutgers basketball team "Nappy headed ho's."


He's in trouble again for bringing up Pacman Jones' race in connection with him getting arrested 6 times in the last few years, even though he said he just brought it up because he says "black people get arrested for nothing all the time."


Does that mean the USA doesn't have free speech? CAN'T SAY THAT! FIRED! THOUGHTCRIME!

liberal PC is slowly taking away freedom of speech here in america. thats why the NYT's only story on the subject this year called it an "outdated" idea.

Well, I do hate political correctness.


But it's been like that in America for a long time now.

The government didnt have anything to do with that. He never went to court about. He resigned because of threats of boycotts from Al Sharpton and the like.

No. He was fired.

Quote:

Radio host Don Imus, fired by CBS last year for a racially and sexually disparaging remark about the Rutgers women's basketball team, waded into treacherous waters again on his new radio program Monday morning, in a brief exchange about a suspended professional football player, Adam Jones.
Imus' radio comment draws attention -- chicagotribune.com

Im sorry, I guess he was fired. But my original point remains, the government had nothing to do with Imus.
