21553. arkymalarky - 4/10/2007 4:11:05 AM The main problem I see with Imus is that he (and MSNBC) try to have it both ways. He needs to do the Howard Stern thing or tone it down some to suit MSNBC's audience.
And I'm loving the Con'd/Wombat exchange here.

I was thinking about my MOR political attitude and what makes it unique. I think it is a melding of the most overall conservative attitude that allows most liberal approaches license consistent with human rights, freedom of speech and equality.
It's probably fair to call it a sort of radical centrism since a spectrum of political approaches inhere to it and it therefore usually cannot subscribe wholeheartedly to either end of the political spectrum:)
I love that first one, all the way down to the little emoticon, especially "radical centrism." 21554. concerned - 4/10/2007 4:11:11 AM Problem with your hypothesis is that it is wrong. I have originated none of my beliefs from what you term "a collection of profoundly right-wing blogs and web sites", most of which I have probably never seen and none of which I follow.
I rather accuse those who advocate cutting and running from Iraq of wanting to "let them wallow in their own filth, rather than convert them to Christianity." Btw, I'm an Agnostic, not a Christian. I am also free from having a LW hard-on for Christians, thankfully.
I am a more original thinker, than for instance, you are, based on every evidence in the Mote. You perhaps recall our arguments about SDI, where I ultimately was proven by developments to be correct, and you were proven wrong. The evidence of your posting here shows that you are capable of little more than attacking others or regurgitating certain historical items, the latter of which anybody can do, given internet access. These conclusions tend to be substantiated by your persistent, unsolicited personal attacks. 21555. arkymalarky - 4/10/2007 4:13:03 AM AND HEY BETTY!
It has been a Monday all day long. A post-spring-break Monday, which is the worst kind. A Monday with a Monday night class, which means home late and no unwind time. A Monday with lots of work issues, which I hate messing with. A Monday that makes me look forward to Friday already, even if it is the 13th. 21556. arkymalarky - 4/10/2007 4:15:16 AM You perhaps recall our arguments about SDI, where I ultimately was proven by developments to be correct, and you were proven wrong.
Hahaha! Keep 'em coming. This beats a stiff drink for an antidote to the effects of a bad Monday. 21557. concerned - 4/10/2007 4:18:14 AM I know that, since I don't worship at the altar of LW propaganda, I'm liable to be unfairly attacked by Wombat's ilk, who must demonize those of truly independent thought. 21558. arkymalarky - 4/10/2007 4:19:45 AM Independent thought isn't all it's cracked up to be. Charles Manson's an independent thinker. 21559. concerned - 4/10/2007 4:19:57 AM Re. 21556 -
Considering you don't even know what I posted regarding the subject, I'll take your post for what it's worth. 21560. arkymalarky - 4/10/2007 4:22:37 AM Why wouldn't I know what you posted on it? I didn't just drop in here, you know. What I want to know is how Wombat was proved wrong wrt it. That part's fuzzy, I must admit. 21562. Magoseph - 4/10/2007 3:58:23 PM Sorry, Jex, but I had to delete your post since the term you used to describe the person is not now in usage in France. 21563. judithathome - 4/10/2007 4:29:06 PM I like a centrist 'position' that can preserve a wide range of (often opposing) political opinions in its very structure. I think such is least likely to become stale or go wrong.
I agree wholeheartedly...just don't see how this applies to you.
21564. iiibbb - 4/10/2007 4:43:09 PM I think Imus should suffer the same as Mr. Zumbo... that is, if CBS wants him gone, then he's gone. The rantings and ravings of those that demand their respective heads don't really factor in.
I believe in freedome of speech, but I believe that the market decides if it wants to listen to you. If you work in the public world, your employer has a right to decide what your boundaries will be. 21565. jexster - 4/10/2007 4:59:06 PM I think you're confused..I3
The rantings and ravings of the FRENCH MOB are the market ...besides it's all a big corporate market game
Watch Imus's ratings skyrocket on his return
What a sorry excuse for "civilization" we have
IMUS BE FREE
Death to France 21566. jexster - 4/10/2007 5:04:38 PM Heads down you sex crazed dirtbags youse
....
Lord we pray that after Mrs. Imus picks up Wee Wyatt's Easter basket she has to go out shopping for the I-man's casket...
Lord hear our prayer... 21567. jexster - 4/10/2007 6:43:01 PM The PC poleees are OUT of control! CNN's got a black man - pro Imus and a ho (anti) and a black anchor..who is freely pouncing on the Imus defender...
Will anyone speak up for Don Imus?
CNN's lead...
I WILL goddammit against PC poleees ferrin or domestic 21568. judithathome - 4/10/2007 10:38:55 PM Rejoice, Jex...your new boyfriend, Mr. Birkhead, is the official daddy of Anna nicole's baby. 21569. concerned - 4/10/2007 11:11:05 PM 
21570. wonkers2 - 4/10/2007 11:31:20 PM Imus got just about what I would have given him if I were running CNBC/CBS. Time will tell whether the big advertisers will punish him more. They could still sink his ship for good. It would be a small loss.
Speaking of apologies from Sharpton, I don't recall Jesse Jackson apologising for his "Hymietown" remark. 21571. Magoseph - 4/11/2007 12:13:29 AM I think that Imus is too smart not to know what he has to do- -you attack strength, not weakness, if you wish to remain in the game. I also believe he’ll hold a significant percentage of his present audience, especially country music people.
21572. judithathome - 4/11/2007 12:28:49 AM Yesterday I told Keoni about my friend Patti's husband surprising her with a 40th anniversary party. Keoni is not overly fond of Bob, Patti's husband. But I thought it was sweet that Bob sprinkled rose petals all over the sidewalk and porch of his son's house, where the party took place.
Evidently it impressed the hell out of Harley...Keoni came in this morning to wake me and said "Bob must have inspired Harley...she has covered the hallway and kitchen with dried rose petals from the ones you've saved....."
I will have my revenge...Monday morning, Harley goes in for her "altering". 21573. wonkers2 - 4/11/2007 12:53:14 AM For those who aren't fond if Al Sharpton here's Gwen Ifill's take on Imus Iful on Imus
