So plastic-face Delay & the RW wanna use this Imus thing to further divide the nation
I'm sure you heard how Tom Delay wants to use the Imus controversy to further divide the country by saying how if the Left can get Imus fired, then their side can get Rosie fired. So on top of everything else, he and his conservative minions are splitting the country down the middle on the Imus thing now. Is anyone even surprised.

Someone needs to tell that moron that Imus got fired because HE GOT SPECIFIC. Imus went after specific people with HIS sexist and racist remarks, and he put a hurtin' on them. Rosie might act a little causticly, yes, but I don't recall her putting a vicious hurting on too many innocent people SPECIFICALLY.

Same with how the RW is getting on the music industry. I don't remember too many times when various artists put a hurting on someone SPECIFIC like what Imus did. Imus didn't generalize with his remarks. What Imus did was he singled out some actual innocent people and humiliated THOSE PEOPLE SPECIFICALLY in front of the entire nation with HIS racist and sexist remarks aimed square at them while he had them in his crosshairs. When you get specific, like Imus did, it's just plain different from what divisive imbeciles like Delay are claiming.

1. They're so weak and pathetic.
They aren't doing what's good for the country. They're just taking advantage of weakness to further their own agenda. And I'm afraid this kind of behavior has and always will be with us. All we can do is keep it at bay, like rabid dogs.

I did sense their attraction to the feeding frenzy. It makes me work that much harder to not hate them.

2. It's surprising DeLay isn't calling on Congress to address whether
Imus is in a vegetative state or capable of cognitive thought. Maybe it's already too obvious that it's the former rather than the latter...?

3. Tom Delay is a big joke
Those young gals from Rutgers have nothing to do with Rosie.

9. Those girls know who Rosie is
They probably have never heard of Delay, and admit not knowing who Imus was until recently

4. So DeLay is claiming that the Right and
by extension the Republican Party, are the faction of bullies, misogynists, and bigots. Seems about right to me.

5. Why the fuck is anyone giving Tom Delay a microphone....
For the life of me, I can't understand why the media still let's this asshole parade around on the public airwaves after resigning in disgrace and under a cloud of illegal activity, brutish and thuggish behavior toward the electoral process and a man so devoid of humanity that it is hard to image the I am from the same species as this sorry excuse for a human being...

6. When you figure that out,
You might try to find out why anyone asks Bill Frist, Dick Cheney, Lieberman, John Bolton, Bill Kristol, Paul Wolfowitz, anyone with the last name of Bush, Oren Hatch or (insert your favourite here) anything. Why are these folks not hiding in fear of being pilloried???
