Don Imus, who rose to prominence by becoming a well known comic willing to use racist, sexist, anti-gay humor, backed up by Charles McCord, and the even more racist, sexist know-nothing Bernard McGurk, is now going where he belongs -- to Fox Business Network. After spending a couple of months acting as if his racist attack on the Rutgers women's basketball team caused him regret, he's now back to racist form. Anyone who didn't side with him (nearly all who are sincerely anti-racist) is attacked viciously by him, McCord and McGurk for not being supportive of him. He especially attacks DLC head Harold Ford, a right-wing Democrat whom Imus supported for Tennessee Senator, but who didn't support Imus loudly enough when Imus got what he deserved -- fired. It seems Imus talks about how wrong he was for attacking the Rutgers team, but attacks anyone who didn't stand with him when he was off the air.

The Fox Business Know-Nothings didn't predict the current depression and are ardent supporters of voodoo economics -- unbridled deregulation, unbridled free trade, privatization, huge expenditures for warmongering, low taxes for the wealthy and cutting programs that provide help to the middle class -- the exact policies that caused the current depression. That's exactly what Imus preaches.

It's a match made in the ever-dwindling world of Know-Nothingism. Scarborough will be there soon too.

Other than that ...What do you like about FNC? Watch the other news channels and get a life. I like FNC and FBC so let me enjoy them and you can enjoy ABC,CBS,NBC,MSNBC,PBS and all of the other liberal news outlets. Have a nice day.

Back in the 1970s Imus had ideas that weren't money driven. That's when he had cred....maybe.

I might not always agree with Don Imus, but I really believe he is a good guy.

I hope you beat that Cancer Don!

Hardly anybody watches RFD-TV except perhaps the repeats of "Hee Haw" and "The Porter Wagoner Show" that seems every bit as cryogenically frozen in time as the reruns of "The Lawrence Welk Show" that turn up on some PBS stations.

Fox can have him (Imus). Just adds more noise. He should fit in nicely.

What happened to him?
Everything seems to have gone down the sh//lt hole for him...why?
I used to listen to him sometimes when he had his show on Msnbc.

If my father called my mother in private the names he has called his wife in public, I would be a fatherless child. But class cannot be bought.

A lot of women sell out for the $$$$ and don't care what they are called if it's enough money; a real shame.
