Hey. Imus deserved what he got. He overstepped the boundaries. He insulted female athletes and he insulted african americans. It was wrong.
Reid insulted the intelligence of the American Voter. He should not step down, but he should apologize. He may be right as it pertains to some, but regardless, if he believed he owed Sharpton an apology, then he owes the American electorate an apology.
I wasn't defending IMUS. Just saying the president wouldn't accept IMUS' apology but very quickly accepted reid's. It appears on the surface to be a double standard.
I really think reid owes the American people, whos senate he resides over, an apology for his comments about us.
On the surface, yes. But any intelligent person, yourself being one that meets that criteria, would not have seen this as an attack on Obama, SHarpton or the black community.
The fact that Obama and Sharpton accepted the apology and said the case was closed was inappropriate.
It would be like Letterman apologizing to Obama for his comments about Palins daughter.
Both letterman and Obama would have been completely in the wrong.
It definately wasn't an attack on obama or sharpton, it was an attack on the voters (unless you meant IMUS then it was an attack on the girls on the rudkers(sp) basketball team).
Excellent anaolgy BTW.
