Imus Firing
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Mr. Kaufman,
I am 60 years old, white, male, United Methodist and live in a
small village in Northwest Ohio. This county has a population
of about 70,000 including 400 African-Americans and I have been
a resident for over 38 years. Every white male I know who
lives in this county has blamed African-Americans for every
personal and public problem the white male has experienced in
this county. The local police will not tolerate an African-
American in their ranks, more than one African-American in an
area on the street is regarded with suspicion, and the n-word
and/or other bigoted terms are used frequently. Every white
male I know who lives in this county is filled with anger
fueled by a sense of entitlement and victimization when they
fail to live up to their expectations. African-Americans
are their first outlet for this anger.
Imus and his army of wannabes pander to these white males
and profit from encouraging their bigotry. I am sick of men
like Imus, Beck, and Billy Cunningham being given major
media infrastructures to limit and ruin the lives of people.
I don't care if Imus is a scapegoat. His firing removes a
major panderer of prejudice. Any decline among his
wannabes in spewing their racist, sexist, homophobic, and
anti-Semitic slime will be a bonus. Believe me, bigotry is a
pandemic disease in the Heartland and removing men like Imus
from the airways is an important part of the cure.

John Edwards
[Read the article: I saw John Edwards in the shampoo aisle]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Dear Mr. Ose,
Why are you keeping this non event alive? Is it laziness,
shallowness, peer pressure, ignorance, or all of the above?
This kind of promotion of trivial, irrelevant, meaningless
presidential candidate behavior is exactly how we ended up
with eight (8) years of the worst human being as president
in history. Refer to the crap about Mr. Gore and Mr. Kerry
and the ass kissing of Mr. Bush for how NOT to report.
Refer to The Daily Howler for how the media was the main
villain in getting Americans into our current abysmal mess.
Writers and editors have got to STICK TO THE ISSUES or
they are a major part of the problem.
FOR GOD'S SAKE, LET THE DAMN HAIRCUTS GO DOWN THE DAMN
MEMORY HOLE!
