I don’t care for Howard Stern but I would never carry a sign and insist that he be fired. I just do not listen to him or watch his program. It is pretty simple really.

In my mind there is nothing more offensive than speak and thought police.

The coterie calling for his resignation are much more offensive to me and it is almost impossible to offend me.

I agree with you, Imus did nothing unusual for today’s uncivil society. I don’t enjoy his sense of humor, don’t watch or listen to his broadcasts and don’t understand how he managed to keep his job this long.

I agree. It is all about the money. Maybe it always has been.

And though I posted that Imus should be fired and though I still stick to that premise, we should question when we became so blase that these words can tumble out of everyone’s mouths except when called on it.

It’s why I have a hard time with this whole idea of reclaiming epithets. What was offensive is still offensive to these ears, no matter who says it.
