1. Good for them.

Let's hope Imus never lasts the two weeks.

5. Maybe it's a start. It's possible. My hope is that we've turned a corner --

maybe even with the coming of age of a generation whose numbers exceed the Boomers, Gen Y -- and that hate speech will begin to become unacceptable in public discourse.

This is a powerful statement these companies are making.

6. So, when do they start on Limpballs, O'LIEly, Hannity, etc.???

It's time there was some decency in the media, all across the board.

:kick:

7. You got that right maybe Imus is just a start. This crap has damaged our

country big time and most people are sick and tired of it.
They better hear the outcry and change the way they do business or everything is down the toilet.

9. Excellent! A pat on the back to all of us

Let's make sure Imus is OFF the radio as well, then let's go after Savage Weiner and get his ass fired too.

10. My hope is this is just a start against hate speech. nt
