THEY DON'T GET PAID TO LEAVE US ALONE:

As Imus' career dissolves, let's look at the kettle that's calling the pot black (Jimmie Walker, 4/12/07, JewishWorldReview.com)

Don Imus is the Grand Daddy of shock jocks: Mancow, Opie and Anthony, Howard Stern, and many others. His comments about the Rutger's women's basketball team, were a shock jock morning show comment. Some thought them funny. Others, didn't.

But the race police ( Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton) were on the prowl and they pounced. They made an incident that no one would've otherwise noticed into a national event.

Now, Imus is a shock jock. And shock jocks, well, "shock". Was there an intent to attack the black race, women, or to attack the achievements of the Women's basketball team? NO. Do so and you're giving Imus way too much credit. Are these Shock Jocks racist and sexist? No, they're … shock jocks. This is what morning shock jocks do. Are we going to get rid of Shock Jocks? No. Like roaches, shock jocks will be with us forever.

But the race police have made this a bigger issue than the Iraq war.

Strangely enough, the Revs retain their radio and newspaper gigs despite their race-baiting and anti-Semitism.
