"But there is something really BOGUS about all the uproar about Mel Gibson, Michael Richards and now Imus."

Imo there is a Lord Of The Flies aspect to it and Imus gets to be this month's Piggy. It makes me uncomfortable when a large group of people target an individual with its wrath. That sort of stuff gets people burned at the stake for being witches.

The fact that there has been no similar outrage over Maury Povich's "Who Is My Baby's Daddy" segments, where he uses young pregnant black women as objects of ridicule, makes me suspicious that the Imus bruhaha is a more or less random instance of mob behavior.
