Rutgers Women's Team Accept Imus' Apology

Amazing. While the opportunists and haters can't seem to forgive much less move on, only ones who matter in all of this, the Rutgers's women's basketball team, have turned the other cheek and accepted Don Imus' apology:

The Rutgers women's basketball team accepted radio host Don Imus' apology Friday for insulting them on the air, saying that he deserves a chance to move on but that they hope the furor his words caused will be a catalyst for change.

"We, the Rutgers University Scarlet Knight basketball team, accept - accept - Mr. Imus' apology, and we are in the process of forgiving," coach C. Vivian Stringer read from a team statement a day after the women met personally with Imus and his wife.

"We still find his statements to be unacceptable, and this is an experience that we will never forget," the statement read

The team had just play in the NCAA national championship game and lost when Imus, on his radio show, called the team members "nappy-headed hos." The statement outraged listeners and set off a national debate about taste and tolerance and led his firing by CBS on Thursday.

Liberal PC-Faction Hunts, Kills & Buries Don Imus

So the self-serving hypocrites won. Jesse "Hymietown" Jackson and Al "White Interlopers" Sharpton, in their campaign to kill the career of legendary radio personality Don Imus, have won as one day after MSNBC decided not to continue simulcasting his show, CBS has now stepped in and fired Imus from his radio show:

Imus initially was given a two-week suspension for calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy-headed hos" on the air last week, but outrage continued to grow and advertisers bolted from his CBS radio show and its MSNBC simulcast.

"There has been much discussion of the effect language like this has on our young people, particularly young women of color trying to make their way in this society," CBS President and Chief Executive Officer Leslie Moonves said in announcing the decision. "That consideration has
weighed most heavily on our minds as we made our decision." Rutgers women's basketball team spokeswoman Stacey Brann said the team did not have an immediate comment on Imus' firing.

Granted, this was as much about money than anything else because once CBS' major sponsors started pulling their ads, you just knew that Imus' hide was cooked. Yet, that doesn't excuse the fact that the media firestorm combined with Sharpton, Jackson and the whole lot of race-baiting hypocrites played a major part in getting Imus fired. The gall being that not only did Imus go on Sharpton's show to apologize (which was pretty dumb on his part because Al Sharpton does not speak for Black people and the only people Imus should be apologizing to are the women he insulted on the Rutgers basketball team) the other day, but how quick this whole story snowballed into such a self-serving witchhunt by ignorant fools with their own agendas.

Because, like him or not, anyone who has ever listened to Imus knows that he's not a racist, but a equal-opportunity nimrod who made a dumb, offensive joke about Black women that he had every right to be suspended over. Yet, we learned what this whole brouhaha was really about the more it became clear that Imus' two-week suspension wasn't enough for the PC police. The loudest cries calling for Imus' head coming from yahoos who not only never listened to the show, but hadn't even heard of the man until his "nappy-headed hoes" comment became fodder for public consumption.

And so it is with this crowd, a movement that allows unemployed hypocrites like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson to control the reigns. A movement that exploits innocent victims of slander for their own agenda. A movement that would never dare go after MTV/BET (both of which are run by Viacom) the way they went after Imus, despite the "bitches" and "Ho's" ethos seen daily on each of those channels. A movement that would do everything it's power to wreck a man's career, regardless of all the good work he's done. So the Rutgers women's basketball team, who never once called for Imus to be fired, who were graceful enough to accept Imus' request to sit down with them face-to-face ("I would like to get [Imus] to get to know us," team member Kia Vaughn of the Bronx said the other day) are pushed to the backburner and Don Imus' career is practically over, squashed by the real "ho's" who work the system: Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson.

Rudy Giuliani Supports Use of Confederate Flag

The prospect of a Giuliani presidency just gets scarier and scarier with each passing day:

WASHINGTON — Mayor Giuliani's decision not to denounce the flying of the Confederate flag over Southern state capitols puts him at odds with Senator McCain on the flash-point issue, and it drew a sharp rebuke yesterday from his longtime New York nemesis, the Reverend Al Sharpton.

Asked by reporters in Montgomery, Ala., on Tuesday for his position on flying the Dixie flag, which many African-Americans say is a symbol of racism, Mr. Giuliani said it was a "good thing to be left on a state-by-state basis," the Associated Press reported.

He made similar comments yesterday during a campaign stop in Georgia, where he also said the decision to apologize for slavery was a state issue, the AP reported.

Roseanne Barr Quote of the Day!

"Never once in my 54 years have I ever once heard a gay or lesbian person who’s politically active say one thing about anything that was not about them. They don’t care about minimum wage, they don’t care about any other group other than their own self because you know, some people say being gay and lesbian is a totally narcissistic thing and sometimes I wonder. I’ve never heard any of them say anything except for “accept me ‘cause I’m gay.”

The Campaign To Smear Fred Thompson

Former Senator Fred Thompson, who has more political experience than Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama combined, is being taken to task by liberals for having the gall to even think about running for President in '08:

He is the former senator from Tennessee who retired from politics in 2002 to resume a career as a movie and TV actor that was more lucrative and, apparently, less boring. Now, his restless spirit is urging him back into politics. And with no more behind him than the popularity of his role on "Law & Order" and a hint to Fox News' Chris Wallace that he might be interested in the White House, this Thompson has vaulted into third place in the Republican polls.

He has yet to announce his candidacy, raise his first dollar or build the semblance of an organization, but he has lapped Mitt Romney, the former governor of Massachusetts, who has been running for months and who leads all other Republicans in fundraising.

Here's something to consider: Giuliani, McCain and Romney are all facing scorn from many circles within the conservative think-tank for not being "true" conservatives. With that said Fred Thompson's name is getting more play as a capable candidate for the GOP nomination for President (esp. in light of his recent diss of "pirate" Ahmadinejad). Any wonder why liberals are gearing up to smear Thompson?
