Barbara Walters to Interview Don Imus
Barbara Walters has snagged the first interview with radio personality Don Imus, who was fired in April for his racist and sexist on-air remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team. Barbara Walters’ interview with Don Imus will air on her “10 Most Fascinating People of 2007” special on December 6th on ABC. Do his comments and subsequent scandal make him fascinating? Seems Walters could have set her sights a little higher.

Imus is a ratins producer. Just ask Larry King and Tim Russert what having the I-Man on their programs meant to ratings! Predict a significant impact to ratings as the I-Nation tunes in to hear what he has to say.

Seems you could open your eyes a little wider!! The threat isn’t that a wrinkled old man bables tasteless invective’s, hoping to sound current. Free speech includes the right to expose your own lapses of judement. Imus’ body of work, beyond the shallow confines of “entertainment”, contradicts the racist/sexist crucifix they are trying to nail him to.
Yet, many have piled on saying his humanitarian efforts only underscore what a true fraud he is!! Al Sharpton and Jessse Jackson are two of the biggest frauds perpetrated on the African American population in the USA!! Both practice at the altar of “do as I say, not as I do”. Sharpton in particular talks about expanding the definition of “hate crimes” based upon feelings rather than intent which is a dangerous, slippery slope for a society to persue. Not far behind lurks government sanctioned speech. I’m sure it sounds far fetched now, and maybe in OUR lifetimes it is. But, it is not far behind. Study the history of any number of totalitrian states, China, the USSR. Their beginings were innocuous enough also, railing against perceived (and some real) injustices. For democracy to endure, the voices of intolerance must be beaten back regardless of how dispicable voices of the ignorant peal.
