Yes, there is something wrong with America …
And it’s not the war in Iraq, our contribution global warming or the health care crisis.
It’s that we pay one second of attention to the opinions of Don Imus or Al Sharpton.
No more tedious individuals exist on our national landscape, although they are in a certain sense exemplary. They represent the triumph of narcissism over intelligent discourse in close to its purest form. No idea or thought exists free of how it affects them – their fame, their glory and, ultimately, their cash. Every second we spend thinking or talking about these two is a second completely lost from our lives. And I’m stopping now.

To this day Rev Al’s moral outrageous is deafening.
God bless the i***t Imus for making a stupid joke and God bless us who have a new subject rather than Ann Nicole to listen to on the tube.

Believe the moral outrage of the brothas and the sistas? I’ve got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn.
Apr 10, 2007 - 11:34 am 3. MikeD:TV options are pretty limited at our house–I refuse to get a dish, and cable doesn’t extend out here for less than a fortune. This morning NBC and CBS were beating Imus/Sharpton to death and ABC had Diane blathering from Kabul. Thank God for PBS and “Clifford, the Big Red Dog”.
Apr 10, 2007 - 12:22 pm 4. Lem:These reparation opportunities for the “reverends” are coming up less and less often, so the volume gets rached up more whenever one finally arrives. We got one… We got one.
It’s our version of a cock fight, our running of the bulls our Coliseum.

Me too. So should we all.

Zbigniew Brzezinski.
So there.
Apr 10, 2007 - 1:40 pm 7. Terrye:I am proud to say I could never stand either one of these guys. I don’t care for Howard Stern or Rosie O’Donnel much either.
Apr 10, 2007 - 1:43 pm 8. srlucado:Ah, if only Imus and Sharpton would limit themselves to talking to each other.
Imus’s big mistake wasn’t what he said, but the fact that he wasn’t black when he said it. Snoop Dogg probably could’ve turned that phrase into a platinum record.
Apr 10, 2007 - 2:28 pm 9. Anthony (Los Angeles):Zbigniew Brzezinski.
Does anyone still take him seriously?
Apr 10, 2007 - 2:43 pm 10. pjb:Ya know isn’t there more important news to report on?
Michelle Malkin gave a great list of things we should be thinking about..
And, Ya know what one crabby old liberal talk show host says about them is should not ruin thier life. Imus shoudn’t've said what he said, and neither should all these rap,hip hop artists, that constanty calls womens hos and bitches routinely. Just watch BET (Black Entertainment Television).
Imus should apologize once and that is it. These girls should gracefully accept. And Shame sham shame on Sharpton.
Isn’t forgiveness one of the cornerstones of Christianity sir reverend?
Apr 10, 2007 - 5:04 pm 11. pjb:For a pastor/reverend, Sharpton, over and over choses not to walk in the light of Jesus. How in the world did this man pass seminary, and become ordained?

oooooops,I’m very sorry for the double post.
Apr 10, 2007 - 5:09 pm 13. Gary Rosen:Don’t be sorry for the double post, pjb. Better to double post Michelle Malkin than single post Imus, Sharpton, Rosie, Trump, Anna Nicole, Paris Hilton etc. ad nauseam.
Apr 11, 2007 - 12:10 am 14. Terrye:I don’t much care for Michelle either here of late. I must just be grumpy. I think Malkin kind of went over the line with Dubai, Katrina, and the invasion of the fruit picker thing myself.

The same way that so many other non-Christlike Christians get ordained. I mean, at this point its not hard to throw a rock and hit a pastor that seems more like a whitewashed grave, than a shepherd. Many today appear as Pious and pathetic as the Pharisees and scribes and priests of the Gospels. Many of them seem to strain out the gnat and swallow a whole herd of camels. I think Jesus made his opinion of their life pretty clear… if only Christians could follow his example and throw off those wolves in sheep’s clothing.
Is it any wonder that Ghandi said:
“I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”
I’m not so sure that some of those most loudly clamoring for the rapture would be happy to see Him come with a sword… they might be surprised at some of His targets.
