The less people who are allowed to publicly flaunt these sorts of attitudes without consequences, the better it will be for gender and race relations.
when we start enforcing "attitudes" with consequences, let the chips fall where they may. today it's don imus. tomorrow, it may be bill o'reilly or bill maher (again). soon, anyone who expresses an opinion that offends anyone will be off-the-air and only government-approved personalities will tell you what to think.
i wonder if those so quick to crucify Imus know the root of this story was david brock's media matters. progressives were only too happy to welcome brock into the fold after he turned tables and apologized for authoring (err, fabricating) troopergate. will they allow Imus the same path of redemption? or is forgiveness only for those who agree with you?
