you are admitting that our country is basically a racist hell-hole, which is far closer to the truth than most RW snowflakes want to admit.

The fact is, of course, that his listeners tuned in because of that shit, not in spite of it. Much like Limbaugh's Ditto Heads, he trafficked in telling people what they wanted to hear.

The very fact that Imus was at all popular is a sad reflection on the state of our culture.
