Of course he should be fired.
Don Imus has a history of saying racist and antisemitic things. The man is a bigot, period. I don't care if he brings in money for the station -- he should be fired, along with all the other modern-day Father Coughlins like Limbaugh and Savage and their sick ilk. These people are hatemongers, and they harm and divide society.
Mr. Imus is free to speak his mind. The First Amendment guarantees it. However, he has no right under law to spew his garbage over commercial airwaves; that decision is solely in the hands of the private owners of whatever medium Imus is on. Let Don Imus, who to me looks like just another bitter drunk, rant away on the streetcorner along with the other derelicts.
