I have no problem with the PC police. Ann Coulter and Rosie O'Donnell can say anything they want and the PC police can say anything they want. At the end of the day maybe we can have a better and more civil society. Can you please explain to me in relatively simple terms how that is going to happen when the entertainment of mostly black young people glorifies, pimps, alls women Ho's and glorifies the idea of shooting each other? Working for a living is not part of the concept. Drug Dealing is. But we cannot talk about it because it is the "Black Culture" Don Imus simply used the terms used within much of our culture, but Liberals are happy to attack the symptom instead of the disease.

If Imus deserves attack and firing, why does not Rosie? Can you explain this to me? You seemed to willingly join the Imus lynch mob.

Unneighborly The next-door neighbor of John and Elizabeth Edwards says the Democratic presidential candidate and his wife owe him an apology. Mrs. Edwards recently referred to Monty Johnson, who lives near the Edwards' mammoth mansion outside Chapel Hill, N.C., as a "rabid Republican," adding that she didn't want her children near him because, she said, he once pulled a gun on workers investigating a right of way on his property. That prompted two lawyers to phone Mr. Johnson, offering to represent him in a slander case, the local News & Observer newspaper reports, but the 55-year-old retired landscaper said he's not interested in suing. "I'd just like to know why she has such hard feelings to me," he said. "They say they're for poor people." Newspapers from as far away as Ireland have picked up the story. On Tuesday, "Inside Edition" sent a film crew to his single-wide trailer in rural Orange County that sits near the Edwards' $6 million, 29,000-square-foot estate. Mr. Johnson didn't rebut Mrs. Edwards' comments, the newspaper said. He's a proud member of the Republican Party and owns a 9 mm handgun he said he's not afraid to use. Mr. Johnson said he doesn't have hard feelings toward Mrs. Edwards, but he does expect her to say she's sorry. "I think she owes me an apology," he said. "And I won't feel right until I get it."
