Imus is a $#&@ and bully. Big deal... he bilked listeners and other donors for money to build a 4,00-acre ranch for his personal use. He lets cancer-kids serve as ranch hands a few months a year... He even let's the black ones sleep inside! What a saint!

Hey Imus... Go crap in your sWWW cowboy hat. You are irrelevant!

OH, PUHLEASE! I don't care what time the Imuses get up, how long and hard they work, nor what rarefied vegan foods they eat and serve- all this "cancer ranch" crap smells of hypocricy and self aggrandizement for Deirdre and Don. Hey, who among us wouldn't want to tell the folks back home (Manhattan, Connecticut,Mexico) about comings and goings at the ranch? Shut 'em up fast, eh?
Imus is a racist, a bigot , and a misogynist and he can't be "history" soon enough for me. Now let's work on getting rid of Ann Coulter!

Wow, ursula, you must do wonderful things if the Imus family doesn't meet your standards. Please share how much money you have raised for other people, and how much of your own you give away! It will inspire us all, I'm sure.

Thanks, for reminding me! I forgot to send that $100 check to the NAACP.
Go kiss up to Jesse Jackson, and conceive a new welfare love child with him you #*@$, and leave the Imus family alone. He's paid enough for that careless remark. Sharpton and Jackson have said and done FAR more racist things than Don Imus ever has. Imus' actions speak louder than his words. The intelligent progressive liberal voices lost a fine platform in Don Imus and his morning show... they shot themselves in the foot when they fired him.

Ursula, keep writing those one hundred dollar checks.... You've got 999,900 more to write! Why? Mr Imus started the ranch by spending one million dollars of his own money.

In case you don't understand, 999,900 plus 100 equals 1 million. That's for starters. Then you can start working on catching up on all he's given since the start of the ranch.

Stop writing those checks! I think I may have caused some confusion. It's 9,999 one-hundred dollar checks to total $999,900 plus the $100 you've already sent. (Yeah, right.)
Anybody who ever watched or listened to Imus's show would know that he is definitely not a racist.

Every Martin Luther King Day, he played the entire recorded "I Have a Dream" speech on his program.

He gave strong and vocal support to Congressman Harold Ford, Jr. (D-Tennessee) in his bid for the Senate last fall.

Because Carroll O'Connor played Archie Bunker on TV, did that make him a bigot? Of course not. It was a role. Imus's occasional sWWW comments were of the same ilk. To take this one goofy episode and act like it is the sum total of his life and character is grossly unfair.

Imus could do wonders for race relations if he were returned to the airwaves. When he puts his mind and money to a cause, things get done. He could do much more to unite us than Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton have ever done or will ever do. Despite this sWWW comment, he was already doing that, bringing children of all races together in their suffering. When have these black ministers done anything to help a white child? There is where the hypocrisy lies -- not with Don Imus.
