About this site
The Imus Times is a fan-operated blog and community website. This site is not affiliated with the 'Imus in the Morning' program, any of its cast, crew, producers, advertisers, or broadcasting partners.
Looks good…
Well, I have to say. As much as I like Imus, he has really humiliated himself with this whole Clinton bashing thing. Despite the best efforts of Imus, Chuck “hillbilly” McCord and Bernie “my head looks like a penis” McGuirk, Hillary won the NH primary, and has humiliated the I-man and his crew.
After Al Sharpton, I know Imus is used to getting slapped around, but this is a wake up call for him. For the past week I have listened to Imus defend the likes of Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly. It’s disgracefull. Hannity is a fat coward (just look at the way he was chased out of NH by Ron Paul’s supporters) Limbaugh is a “fat, drug addict” (Imus’s own words), and O’Reilly is a backstabbing puke, who approved on more then one occassion, of Imus’s getting fired. Yet Imus still defends O’Reilly…what a joke.
Imus needs to get his balls out of his wife’s purse (or out of Bernie’s mouth) and stop kissing the asses of people who either betrayed him, or who he is now sucking up to, just because they work for WABC. It’s called courage I-Man….try and get some.
i like the look of this site/blog. hope it catches on.
thanks again to everyone at supportimus and imus truth. all true friends of imus.
Gelb pimping SupportImus.Org this AM. Imus noted Gelb a long time Imus sales guy standing in the window holding a SupportImus.Org sign. -ChanX
Interface looks great. Glad to see a new site. I thank the person that put this up.
Better then Imus Truth ever was.
Channel,
I heard that in the 9AM hours. Thought of Keith Immediately..
Nod to the I-Nation, greatly appreciated. ThanX Gelb
That has to be the sign we left with Charles and fruit loops in June. I have a picture of them holding it. I wonder if Gelb was the guy who chatted with us outside the studio on smoke breaks and told us where to meet Charles Chris and Mike after the show. What a nice guy he was.
Here’s something interesting – a ranking of talk radio streams. Specifically a ranking of 4Q07. Imus broadcasting for 3 weeks of the quarter is ranked, coming in at 22!
Top 5?
1) Rush Limbaugh 8.9
2) Michael Savage 8.4
3) Glenn Beck 5.9
4) Laura Ingraham 5.1
5) Sean Hannity 3.9
22) IMUS 0.6
For all who are listening to “IMUSONAIR” and WABC online your presence is noticed and tracked.

Whoa, that is weird about the SI sign. About what time was it on ChanX? After RFD was off the air?
It is indeed a great looking site! Thank you for the effort, whoever is responsible for it.
Haven’t watched the show as of yet…great news about Bob Gelb…what a great guy!
imustime, Gelb sign noted at about 9:12 et. Also I have a comment pending awaiting moderation, if you could look at that… Has a link or two in it.
That’s great news about the ratings.
Imustimes and ChanX: If you have a short audio stream of that to link on (on Bob Gelb) that would be most appreciated. I only get to watch via RFD and can’t get the last hour of the program. Again…my appreciation and thanks!
If things go as Imus is saying he may not be on RFD-TV much longer.
So those stream ratings may become even more important.
Thank you Keith for doing this.
I had thought earlier about Imus and RFD. I was speculating it might have been an “End Run” to get Imus launched to a major media player with more connections. I am not at all savvy about how this could work (ChanX would know) but if RFD agreed to launch the show…and then sell the syndication rights…I am just wondering.
…and Keith…This IS really graet of you to do this…I can’t wait to see the “New and Improved” Supportimus.org. if this is a precursor…WOW!
Just lost the imusonair signal right when the 9am hour would have started. So hopefully IT has the podcast for all 4 hours.
Believe RFD is going for TW and CMCST subscribers. Gut feeling RFD has a master agreement with the carriers currently working on getting regional/local management to sign on. (Imus wanted to make the announcement on Jan 2 and was told by Big Foot he could not.) Hopefully we will hear something soon.
Selling the syndicaction rights is probably an exit plan. In other words, if RFD can not get the carriage or otherwise can not meet the business plan RFD would sell the programing to reduce financial exposure.
I do not have the audio stream, perhaps Bruce?
There is a Google Gadget for TalkStreamLive which shows the Top Talkers by share – very cool, you can see it here
http://www.google.com/ig/directory?hl=en&url=http://www.talkstreamlive.com/google/TalkStreamLiveFeed.xml
imustime – one more awaiting moderation – must be the link…
I just want to know, did Imus actually say, “hey, there’s Bob Gelb, and he’s holding a Support Imus dot org sign outside the window. Hi Bob.” or what?
Details pls…
Paraphrasing;
Imus said one of WABC’s employees was at the window (riffing off of yesterday’s comment that employees could walk across the street and look in the window if they wanted to see the I-Man…). Then he said that’s “Bob Gelb holding up a SupportImus.Org sign”. Laughs all around.
ChanX
A transcript with the dog/chuck pic along with the clip would be a great thread!
Comment 19 at 1:19pm et is awaiting moderation
HTML tags work what about Google Gadget just testing…
Interesting information:
http://weblogs.newsday.com/sports/watchdog/blog/2008/01/craig_carton_boomer_esiason_do.html
I heard Imus mention this place…so, this is the OFFICIAL Imus comment site?
Which one of you is Gelb?
Thanks ChanX on post 19…makes sense. What I am wondering is if Imus and Patrick “made a deal” to use RFD AS a launching pad for the show…and then receive syndication rights for it. In other words…would they (RFD) make more from syndication rights…or a carriage deal? You are the expert…lol…I don’t know much about media business….I just want to know what would be the difference in possible revenue….Thanks!
That “one more cow” thing at the bull riders deal is getting hilarious. Great stuff from Tony at that thing.
ribeira:
No one HERE is Gelb. Bob Gelb is a (ChanX correct me if I’m wrong) media salesperson for Imus working now at WABC… (did I get that right?…LOL).
imustimes:
That was funny as hell. I clicked on the live stream at Imusonair (trying to catch the Bob Gelb comment) and caught the tail end of it. I got off of work early today…and I was hoping to catch the Gelb Comment…but the feed cut out right after Bob Kerry was on…
…..just one more cow…LOL.
Nobody is Gelb here. JFYI.
Read Donalds comments.
This is a fan-operated site, spun-off from SupportImus.org — SupportImus.org went up on April 12. Not the official site, but it might as well be…
ribeira, welcome aboard… This is not an “official site” but was created by the webmaster “imustimes” in April 07 and is one of the places that got us through the 8 months.
For new comers this is a temporary site “imustimes” established while he finishes SupportImus.Org Renovations.
donaldinks – Patrick has been clear he wants TW and CMCST carriage (subscribers). Believe the payment for the subs plus advertising revenue would be much greater then a licensing arrangement alone. Come to think of it, the overall value to RFD in all probablitiy would be much greater then the $30M MSNBC was seeing from ad revenue.
RFD could reasonably look at coverng costs with a syndication/licensing deal and maybe a little margin. But by broadcasting Imus they get the ad revenue which is where the upside is, plus the subs, plus the increased audience through cross promotions….
Regarding Post # 33.
Thanks Chanx. I hope the announcement comes SOON.

Here are the October-December Arbitron ratings released yesterday…
Ratings Book Fall ’07
Station Format Fa’06 Wi’07 Sp’07 Su’07 Fa’07
WABC-AM Talk 3.3 3.5 3.9 3.1 3.3
WFAN-AM Sports 2.8 2.1 2.3 2.6 2.6
Interesting the way NYDN’s David Hinckley positions WFAN’s ratings for Fall 2007. Using his methodology WFAN should be absolutely giddy!
Look CloserThis table shows Imus’s new home is a stronger presence in the NYC market then WFAN’s. The Table also shows WFAN experiencing a definite drop-off from Fall 06 to Fall 07 surprising since Mike and Mad Dog supposedly grew audience over the period. Suspect WFAN doing a little spin here!
Next ratings book is the one that counts Imus directly up against WFAN!

Wow, this is nice Keith!!!!! Heard that Imus mentioned SupportImus.Org! How did THAT GO?
Harley, Liking that avatar…ChanX
Channel,
Would you like me to change mine? LOL
I have hundreds I could use. But was trying to stay with the them.
Hey ribeira, this is just the TIP of the iceburg! SupportImus. Org has been going strong since April! Wait until the ORIGINAL site is up and running again!!!!!
Also, if there are any lurkers and/or newbies here, yall can also check out ImusTruth.com!!!!!
Bruce, Normally wouldn’t say this to another guy but you have a great avatar as well…
Harley! Good to here from you! I was “banned for life” after posting my farewell post at “some other site”…LOL. It’s all good. 😉
Chanx: I can only see my own “avatar” and nobody else’s! Not Fair….lol.
didn’t work sorry, worked on the visual editor. back to the lab doc !!! ChanX
They run ‘Imus in the Morning’ re-reuns on weekend evenings and Saturday mornings out here…wonder if any other radio stations do that around the country?
Is my Avatar showing up?
ribeira, which station are you listening to?
PTB,
Takes awhile to come across. Then all your posts will have it.
Good to see some positive IT people here. Hope we can keep it this way.

Of course it is spring like here in NJ, no matter….
Channel,
I listen to Imus on KTBL
Channel,
Don’t you have to get a SuperPass? That station in in New Mexico.
Just a question.
AKA SL on SI. Just wanted to weigh in at Imus Times. It feels great, looks good, everyone is happy, and we have the IMAN. Life is sweet. Just had some fun loading an avatar, too.
Thanks to all for the continued great thoughts and to Keith for the place to mix.
I ditto that comment Waterpaint. Excellent site by Kieth.
ribeira,
Got the story wrong. You are in New Mexico and probably get the KTBL station directly. But I found they do have a stream too.
So I may check that out tonight. Thank you.
Keith
I like the site it is cool, I record Imus in the Morning was the sign in the window during the time they were on RFD TV?
Ree, It was after RFD signed off around 9:12
Good morning and God Bless. ::clears throat::
I wanna run through some of the presidential candidates for you Imus in the Morn’. Just so we’re all on the same when it comes to these idiots, although we all know that you, with the exception of John McCain, would close your eyes and wish them into the cornfield, ya scarecrow-lookin’ crater-faced idiot, bejeez
Speakin’ of McCain, let’s start with him – the only candidate who met his second wife while she was babysittin’ his first wife’s children. Let’s just say he didn’t keep her around for the cookin’, bejeez. And what about Mike Huckabee – just what this country needs, Imus in the Morn’, is some sweaty fat guy campaignin’ around in a skin-tight leotard claimin’ he lost weight by changin’ his diet and increasin’ his exercise. The real way he lost his fat suit was by switchin’ to a diuretic and laxative diet while listenin’ to his own sermons from years gone by, God forgive me. Poor bastard; probably left him as raw as the last cow they slaughtered there on that farm network, bejeez. Next is Mitt Romney – God bless him and his seven wives – who is about as well-spoken as Fabio readin’ a cue card made from pieces of scrap paper stuck together with expired spermicidal jelly, ya antediluvian douche bag bejeez. On the other side is Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, who are dukin’ it out like two ram mountain sheep buttin’ heads. Watchin’ Hillary Clinton give her winnin’ speech last night was like watchin’ grass grow. Just what the American people need is a trifecta from hell – Hillary Clinton as president, Nancy Pelosi as speaker, and that Gladys Kravtiz-lookin’ Ruth Bader Ginsberg on the bench. Then there’s the colored fella with the Jew hatin’ name, livin’ in a fairy tale apparently. One thing’s for sure – he’s given the tuna-lickin’ dingbat a run for her money. If he had his way, he’d be shovin’ her face down on the carpet and makin’ her eat it, but she’d probably enjoy it, bejeez. I know I missed a few in there, Imus in the Morn’, but for one real reason – they’re just so damn irrelevant right now!
It’s time to pray, bejeez, now bow your heads! In the name of the father, son, and holy ghost, another camera at WABC we want the most, Lord hear our prayer. Lord, we pray that Al Sharpton gets another orange jail jump suit, and some fat pig inmate hides his shalaylee where this idiotic scum used to poop, Lord hear our prayer. And finally Lord, we pray that Dennis Kucinich finally goes back to Neptune, and gets the hell off this planet, the stupid crazy loon, Lord hear our prayer.
WHICH DOESN’T BELONG AND WHY!?
Which doesn’t belong and why?
a) Former Senator Trent Lott
b) The Late, Great Senator Strom Thurmond
c) Newly reformed Imus in the Morn’
Answer me that, ya shriveled up bag o’ pus ya, bejeez. Well despite the fact that all three of these mentally-challenged idiots have, at one time or another, uttered racial slurs about their brothers by different mothers, the answer is clearly B, the late, great Senator Strom Thurmond because unlike the other two air-suckin’ mental patients, Strom Thurmond is the only one who actually checked out, with nothin’ let of him but his hand comin’ out of the ground flippin’ the bird to anyone who’ll take notice.
God bless us and save us!
BTW the Avatars/Pics are all great…. Donald and Mary, waterpaint, PT, Harley, Ree, Bruce, Keith. They are now starting to find their way here consistently…

How’s this? 😉
Um. I uploaded one… sigh. :p
Anybody know what is up with the old sponsor Lumber Liquidators? In April they started a “Rutgers 10 Scholarship” and I haven’t heard anything about them since. They are not on the new show. Whats up with that?

ChanX Bruce and the maybe the Cardinal, I think you two might be the only ones who get my avatar.I love that little guy.
Now bad news.
Anybody know when I have to change my party affiliation by? Might as well help McCain.

Bart: Cute. ^_^
PTB,
Your Avatar is visible. Look again. What I found on some Avatars, gifs, or jpegs is you must downsize them and use the crop on them to center.
My silly one was only 15.2 KB’s. My other one was Gigantic and was never visible afer a few hours.
I like yours since I have seen it many times somewhere.
Harley and STDOMSGRL. I am only speaking for myself. But the more people we can get interested in Keith’s site the better.
So keep them coming.
I agree. 🙂
When I said “get it” I meant understand, not recieve. Yes bruce you’ve seen it many times befor. But Where?
For a hint…
http://www.musicradio77.com/index.html
Hey, where is the window in NYC? What streets? I’m gonna go Friday with a sign that says Imus/McGuirk ’08 :p
across from MSG Broadway and 40 something.
Wow..I think this blog has more comments in one day than supportimus.com had in the last month. I hope this isnt a rebellion or something to Imustruth.com. Its too bad the webmaster there banned some of the more innocent people like donaldinks (why?) along with the guilty parties. At least there is not constant criticism over here.
The above post was by me, Jonathan. Unfortunately that name was taken when I registered.
Hi Everyone
Chanx –
The syndication deal is kind of interesting..but my question is…are they syndicators? I don’t think they syndicate any other program, or even know how to do that kind of thing. I am wondering if RFD was a good idea or not..since..in the last couple of days, there has been an allusion to them not wanting imus to go into the edgier side of things, trash talking, etc…so maybe it isnt the long term, but I don’t see them syndicating him.
Welcome Jonathon. I hope you stick around.
And maybe I missed it earlier, but when did the guy have the sign outside? Like what time? I know RFD didnt show it.
DjD,
To answer that question, the real answer is, if they’re not they’re smart enough to hire a specialist. Just like WABC went out and hired Gelb to market Imus.
PTB
Thanks, PT. I like mixing it up and discussing things with the I-nation, as you all should know by now 🙂
What kind of stations would be a good buyer for the show? It would have to be independent stations right?..because the networks are bound to the network morning shows.
Davisjs1,
Yes PT is right. We are all alive and well in a true freedom of speech site.
To answer your question on what time the audio regarding Support Imus sign was held by Gelb outside the Window of the Imus program. It was at about 9:13 AM.
Going to try and get a small Pando file for those that missed it.
Support Imus is the best site around. And will only get better with great comments from you in my opinion. Keep them coming.
Keith likes these comments too I am sure.
Cool..thanks Bruce. I would definitely like to hear that..but someone needs to tell Mr. Gelb that, you know, support for the I-nation is appreciated, but do it while the show is on TV ..heh.
By the way, I thought Tony was hilarious with the rodeo people. Seems like they are toying with his and Karith’s roles some more. Also can’t wait until they get the cameras on Lou and Bernie. Looks like we weren’t the only ones frustrated with that one.
All good things happen to those that wait. And you are right, should have been done (Holding the Support Imus sign) during the telecast.
Maybe Gelb was just being selfish for the ABC radio listeners which gives very little visual effect to the watching audience.
If it’s who i thought it was, he might just have gotten the Ideal on his way out the door for a smoke break.
PTB
Here is the short audio portion of the program when Imus mentions Gelb holding the sign. SupportImus.org.
Towards the end of the 2 mins and 47 seconds.

REV. AL IS UP TO HIS OLD TRICKS:
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/01/10/al-sharpton-wants-another-scalp/
Hey gang we need to start talking about Kelly Tilghman a little.
My thought is she should have probably said mug, ruff him up, just about anything but lynch. Not because it’s rascist but because it’s death.
She got a 2 week suspension.
But what side should the I-Nation take? Should Don even comment on it? Who could understand better her side?
PTB
I think it is pretty irrelevant mainly because she is some low level Golf Channel anchor…the cost vs. benefit scenario is low since, you cant get too much PR mileage from someone who is known so little..and in order to raise this means reminding people of your negatives. So, unless it is some national figure, in my opinion its not worth it for the I-man and the I-nation. Not only that, but the situations are different, in that she is an anchor who is hired to report whereas ourt I-man was hired to do the kind of things that he did..not worth chasing this.
PT,
No comment by Imus or the I-Nation is worth the publicity. Sharpton is wasting his time on a nobody as davis said. And the Golf channel could care less.
They are very insignificant (Golf Channel) in the scheme of Cable stations.
My opinion with only one exception. Sharpton just wants publicity for anything that even resembles racism.
He has enough problems.
If I were Imus, I would steer clear of attacking Bill Clinton on his looks (Imus looks like a mummfied lesbian with those glasses he’s been wearing). I would also tell him to take his own advice when discussing Hillary…JUST SHUT UP.
Hillary is going to whup up on Obama, and then she will spank Huckabee and McCain, and B-slap Giuliani…then what is Imus going to do. Learn to respect your DNC masters Imus.
As for Bernie…if he thinks Hillary is the best candidate for the GOP to run against, he is even dumber then he looks.

I was watching the flashback of Bob Kerrey, and he stated at one point he was impressed by Hillary Clinton’s performance on the Armed Services Committee. Huh? I wish Imus had called him on that. Hillary Clinton signed the letter along with other senators to have Rush Limbaugh, censured by his employer. Remember the letter that got auctioned off and the proceeds went to one of the charities for Marines. Come On!! Impressed with Hillary’s performance, when General Patraeus a commanding General in a Shooting War, taking time out to give his report to the Congress. Hillary’s Quote and she stands by it today, Hillary’s response to Patreaus ” I would need, A willful suspension of disbelief” This is who Bob Kerrey thinks should be the commander and chief. Give me a break, I was born at night but I wasn’t born last night.

Hello All,
Seems like the IT site believes this is a hard site to post to. Hope someone will go over there and clear this up. I find this site easy to post to.

Thanks Harley,

HERE WE GO AGAIN!!!!!! IS THERE ANYTHING THIS MAN DOESN’T STICK HIS NOSE INTO?????
http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/story?id=4114577&page=1
IS THIS DEJA VU????
The racially tinged comments by Golf Channel broadcaster Kelly Tilghman officially became a cultural and political issue Wednesday night when Rev. Al Sharpton demanded that the network fire her or face picket lines, part of growing fallout that precipitated a two-week suspension for the network’s lead play-by-play host.
*****
“This cannot just go with, ‘I apologize, me and Tiger are friends,'” Sharpton told CNN. “We are in an era now where we see hangman’s nooses all over again. I don’t know why that (phrase) would pop into her head, but it popped out of her mouth and she should be accountable for it. “This is not about Tiger Woods. It’s about the station and using public airwaves to offend people. This is not about making Tiger a civil-rights leader. Tiger has the right to his own private feelings and his relationships.
“This is about saying this woman’s language violated the civil rights that you have been entrusted with an FCC license not to do.”
Deja Vu is the correct description. The Golf channel and Tiger Woods can take care of themselves.
Sharpton is using mis-direction. He is trying to allude the Tax problems he is in.
But Sharpton is going the way of the has beens. He is totally irrelevant in the scheme of life.
Thanks Harley
Hey Gang! Haven’t heard todays broadcast YET…but I culled my first “Best Of Imus 2008” clip yesterday for the ipod. Tony at The Garden interview was out loud funny! Thank The Lord…The I-Man is back!

Jonathan: regarding your post #77. As to (why?): I guess I was in the wrong place at the right time…or the right place at the wrong time…all I do know is I was scrubbed (my “farewell to the site” post, along with others)…and “Banned For Life”. But so it goes. It’s all good…but thanks for thinking about me! 🙂
Hey Bart,
Send me an email at lenny.powell@gmail.com would you? Or IM at Divergent Light.
Thanks.
And the rest of you, look for me on TV tomorrow if it doesn’t rain holding up my Imus/McGuirk ’08 sign. :p
Harley,
They were talking about the noose showing up all over the place at Michelle Malkin’s blog, you can do a search and find those blogs. I commented, yes there are those who know what the symbolism means, and there are others like our children, who are not well versed in our country’s history. This past summer a movie came out “Pirates of the Carribean, At Worlds End”. The movie started with multiple nooses, now imagine how many children went and watched that movie. I am not saying some these nooses showing up are not malevalant, I am saying some are kids being ignorant. The noose re entered the American Consiousness, through a real popular movie this past summer.
Lenny,
Don’t forget your fedex cap, I will be recording you cardinal!
Lenny, since I cannot see the program at this time looking forward to Imus making a comment tomorrow about you hanging out in front of the Studio.
Maybe bringing a person with you with a cam-corder would be an interesting way of showing your presentation.
Good luck my Friend

An avatar is basically an icon representing your personality or feelings. Mine is goofy.

ChanX:
Is the Irreverent Al stating that atheists are not abject in their outlook (on certain peoples faith) as far as their ability or capacity to govern and lead the nation? Didn’t come across that way to me, at least.
Hitchens was just stating a fact on the Mormons’ articles of faith.
Sharptons’ remarks (as usual) were misdirected at the wrong subject…and as usual..was given a “free pass” to cover his collective ass.
Harley:
Being “Banned For Life” has it’s upsides…if you know what I mean. 🙂
Harley,
What did I say?
The overwhelming spam is a big reason SI is down. It had become the most time-consuming task of the project, by far. Then the commenting difficulties, by the end, the system would not even let me post comments there.
Thanks for the audio from yesterday’s show bvb. More sites added to the Blogroll–you guys know better than me, what other sites should be on there these days?
Finally, there is no conflict between me and IT, and never has been. It’s good to have a big and growing universe of sites that support the I-man. So if haters ever attack again, we can all get behind him asap. The I-nation is big, it needs many websites.
Glad you all made it here. -Keith
No Donald,
That is very nice. In fact everyone’s is nice but mine. But have not taken the time to downsize another.
Some think my explaining them, is somewhat derogatory.
Amazing!
Are they going to fire that girl? Tiger is not offended. I watched the tape and was not offended. He says he’s going to lead protests on the Golf Channel. Is this what the Civil Rights Movement has come to—–protesting the DAMN GOLF CHANNEL????? I am so embarrassed….. Why wasn’t Isiah Thomas fired for his DUMB comments and/or STUPID conduct? Why didn’t Al protest him? Why did Vivian Stringer apologize to Thomas for his stupid remarks? WHO IN THE HELL PUT ALL SHARPTON IN CHARGE? WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO STAND UP TO HIM?
Thanks again Keith…for the site…AND SUPPORTING IMUS.
On another subject…I would ask each and every one of you to take the survey RFD is conducting as far as demographics, and directions for where the network should go towards. At the end of the survey is a “comment box” that you may freely address any concerns you might have….here is the link below:

Harley…it looks like the Federal Government is going to “stand up to him” (irrelevant Al)….LOL. I can’t WAIT!
Its like he’s made of Teflon. He can do whatever the HELL he wants to and create excuse to get out of ANYTHING! What happened to the tax fraud charges? Oh yeah, he got an extension on them. I’d be happy when (WHITE, BLACK, PURPLE,GREEN, ETC. ) people stop giving this creep the time of day!!!!! I hope Tiger comes out with a statement himself to squash this mess….. There MANY other things that the Black Community needs to worry about!!!!! Don’t we have an ERECTION to worry about!!!!!:)
Donaldinks, I do so hope you are right.
Harley, Maybe Al could give us a list of words we CAN use. It reminds me of playing cards as a kid. There was someone always changing the rules to suit “their hand.”
Harley:
The tax evasion investigation is going full steam ahead on Al. Face it…he’s the equivalent of an ambulance chaser when it comes to racial issues. Self promoting… whether the victims invite him into the mix or not. What goes around…eventually comes around. His time is getting nearer…and nearer…
By the way…it’s GOOD to see all these posters here…I have missed you…and WHAT a GREAT place to meet!
Your welcome Keith,
I am following the “Freedom of Speech” rules you believe in. But without vinegar.
And cooperation is key between support sites. Though question the other site’s hands on moderation or lack of. But get your message.
I have enjoyed SupportImus but then you had some technical difficulties which put me in a moderation mode. But then found out you had the same problem by not even being able to post on your own site.
But as you work diligently on the original site, this one is magnificent. And is a open to anyone who knows how a WordPress account works.
Keep up the great work.
Is anyone else having trouble logging in? It seems like every time you try to login from the blog itself, it fails so you have to go to wordpress.com. I wonder if you would look into this Keith, cus it is annoying to go roundabout to comment.
Anyway, I have a contrarian point of view about Sharpton. I actually agree with him when it comes to the golf channel anchor. Unlike Imus, this persons job is to report the sporting event she was covering. She basically had no right to say what she said and she deserves what she is getting. Imus was paid to say such things. And, like the I-man has said, I wouldnt mind being in a foxhole with Sharpton. Why? He is consistent and tells you to your face what he is going to do. I would be more upset if he let this pass without criticizing this person, like he criticized the I-man. His view is that no one should be allowed to make racist-type comments on the public airwaves…and I respect him for that view and agree to an extent. And it is not like he denies that the hip-hop community has its problems in this regard..so..while I do think he is a publicity hound, I agree with him on this one.
Do you Davis have a blogger account? Or have you checked the box to save your information?
That is how you can post without continually logging in. I know how a pain that can be.
In the words of Martin Garbus, words aren’t guilty people are. There was no racial intent behind Tilghman’s remark. This is typical of Al Sharpton going for the headline. ChanX
I am glad the Maine supporters are on board. That means you Stdomsgrl. I thank you and so does Keith I am sure.
Bring everyone over. The more the merrier.
Here is something from Todays Imus Show. It featured a truly funny Sports report by Warner Wolf. And the Number 1 Country hit sung by Taylor Swift.
But you didn’t here this on your radio.
ChannelXRFR,
I really think the Clintons don’t like the military, now Bill Clinton was no wuss, he was leaning forward alot militarily during his administration. I didn’t have any problems with his decision to go into Bosnia., he stopped a genocide and World Wars start in Eastern Europe. Bill Clinton is no dope. That said, the perception among military people is that the Clintons have a distaste for the Military. There are about 3 million military people, and their familys and they vote. Hillary Clinton isn’t scoring points with her “A willful suspension of disbelief” statement, to a decorated General commanding in a difficult theater, in a shooting war. That may work on the Code Pink Folks but they should take a head count, they really are not that numerous = votes.
Where was Hillary or Bill during the Walter Reed Scandal? If they can’t use it for a political advantage, they don’t get involved? that is the perception.
I was watching a special on CNN and they say that 25% of the homeless population is veterans, and some from the wars going on right now, how is that possible, the veterans are being treated like they are disposable. They fought for their country – volunteered and now some are living shelters. This could be used as a political wedge issue or somebody in our government could do the right thing and take care of them.
I get that the Whitehouse is the prize, to the people running for the highest office in the land. The people voting them into office, need to figure out if they are going to wield the power for us or for their own self interest.
That is the title that goes with President of the United States, Commander and Chief.
Please move to the Imus Returns to Portland, I-Fans Cited! Thread.
You will see the link on the right side bar.
Karith is on. Just hit the mute button. Happy Friday!
Karith is fine, it’s Deirdre who puts a drag on the show, talking about her issues…
What’s this about Imus having ‘billing’ issues…seems Citadel is having a tough time selling the show?
riberira, what about billing issues? ChanX
Anybody see Stern on Letterman last night.? He ripped Iman pretty badly. He is sure impressed with himself. I guess a big ego kinda goes with the job.
I personally like the Deirdre spots. Besides being hot & very passionate about children’s issues she has consistently taught me about important health related issues that I probably would not have been aware of otherwise. She has been leading the charge for “greening” our lifestyle and as it turns out, from what I read she is right about the whole Greening deal.
Can anyone here remember mom cleaning the bathroom or the floors with that god awful Clorox Bleach? I have been trying to implement the GTC products into my lifestyle for about a year. I can tell you that the GTC glass cleaner absolutely works as well as Windex.
Imus is the only thing keeping Stern relevant. Who’s trading off of who at this point?

I Googled for something completely different, but found your page…and have to say thanks. nice read.

Man i love reading your blog, interesting posts !
Mr. Obama has now begun blaming the messenger, as if the media had somehow made Rev. Wright’s words more noxious than they actually were. He referred to “snippets” of sermons serving to misdefine a man who deserved a kinder assessment. Well, senator, welcome to the America where people of your race and your politics have foisted such “death by snippet” on undeserving figures from Trent Lott to Don Imus.
