I agree - he did say it. Times had changed and he did not change with times. But even with changing times he simply should have thought more before he said it. Everyone was open to be a target, but in this case he did cross the line.

his shows were often great, I enjoyed listening many times....the cardinal O'Connor bits were priceless
It seems on Twitter the Rutgers incident is all most people remember. That's unfortunate because he was a very charitable celebrity.

I can’t help what the guy said. First Glen lies about who said it, then you blindly defend it under the banner of ‘social’ warrior‘ing. After a national radio personality called some college girls playing for a national championship ‘nappy headed ho’s.’ Classy.
And he apologized for saying it many many times. I accepted that and moved on.
I was not a fan of his, but I am also not an angry social warrior.
He also ran a charity for cancer stricken children.
You failed to mention that.

I wasn’t a fan of his either. I only posted the one thing I ever heard about him. It doesn’t take away from any charitable work he did and of course people make mistakes. Your reaction to it though shows exactly who the angry person is here though. Glad you accepted his apology given you were the one he called nappy headed. Wow - very gracious of you.
This is some really stupid shit Midnighter. Even for you.
This is a rip thread. You decided to go social warrior.
Perhaps you should step away from the keyboard... write RIP and enjoy the sunshine outside with your kids.

No, YOU were the one who brought in the "social justice warrior" bs, while saluting Glen's false flag about it.
Unlike you and Midnighter, I WAS fan of the guy. But he fukked it up. Well, he was a drunk for many years. It's what drunks sometimes do. He did not, as far as I recalled, spend any time whining about what happened to him. Indeed, YOU have whined about it falsely more than he ever did as far as I know.
Question (asking for a friend): If Imus was a black man and mumbled that phrase (or shouted it out in a song) about the Rutgers WBB team, would he have been fired?

I don’t think he is saying more revenue, just a different more affluent audience. You can always tell the content by its advertisers. Golf doesn’t get great or even good ratings sometimes. Yet they have Rolex, the German autos, Cadillac and even Fedex which captures the business world way more so than the average Stern Joe.
There was a bit I remember having Wilfred Brimley “stuffing” the Thanksgiving turkey that was hilarious.
Why are you even asking that question. It puts you on a level with Imus’s words because we all know what point you were trying to make.
I take it you never listened to Imus. The first comment was made by Bernard and Imus followed up. They said far worse things, including many comments about Sharpton. Imus regularly insulted Andrea Mitchell. They just took this one and ran with it - and he had no defense for the comment. The Rutgers girls did nothing except act very respectful.
the powers that be tolerated him and Stern. Bill Clinton called into his show on a regular basis until Imus made some comments in front of Hillary at the White House Correspondence dinner. Carvelle and Begalla and Lanny Davis all were on his show.
There is no need to defend what he said about the Rutgers girls, he never defended it. But those comments were no different than what was said on the show every day and accepted by the Liberal Elites in New York and D.C.
So Midnighter and Demlion, leave your political agenda out. I doubt if either of you listened to the show. And remember, the Liberal Elites didn’t just tolerate what he said, they embraced it and used it for their own purpose.
I listened every day for a decade or more, so you are dead wrong about that, too.
I put a fukking TAPE up. Imus said it FIRST. Jesus. Just gonna lie to our face? F you.
I doubt you listened - it was a three hour show. Imus and Bernard joked about him being the first to say it once they were back on Fox, in fact, Fox initially didn’t want Bernard on the show, but Imus insisted. But it really doesn’t matter because Imus took ownership of the comment.
In the 70s, Imus did a sketch, Billy Sol Hargas, the Right Reverend of the Gooey Death and Discount House of Worship, from Del Rio, Texas, the gold buckle of the Bible Belt. Some of these are still able to be found on YouTube.
