it was about money, not words. sharpton won, he was going to march in front of cbs, sponsors got scared of bad press and felt they do not need it. that is why he got dropped.

this had nothing to do with the words.. imus has said much worse in through out the years. This was a win for Sharpton and Jesse. they win they scared the corporations enough to dump imus. Imus was great for them , brought them in some bucks with however any danger of their products getting boycotted they left immediately.

i do not care of imus , but the punishment was extreme. Hopefully, he doesn't let the sharptons and jesse's ruin him , that he has enough fight to come back on sirius. those who enjoyed his sarcastic humor will follow him.

Hillary must have loved every minute, i bet she taped all the debates to fire Imus.
