Don Imus contraversy

1. According to the NAACP, why should Imus be silenced?

Because his comments were racist and sexist, and they should not allow comments like that should not be said on televsion.

2. According to Frank Rich, why should Imus not be silenced?

Because he has freedom opf speech, and he doesn't make fun of a certain group of people, he makes fun of everyone.

3. Do you think Imus should be silenced? Why?

Not really, and maybe its because I don't get easily offended, but I think comments like that are OK. You are not being made to watch the show. You can get the remote and flip it to another channel. If on the other hand, you are being made to listen to racist comments that apply to you, and you are being forced, there is a problem. He has freedom of speech though, and you have the freedom to change the channel. Plus if the rutgers girls even said themselves that they werent upseted that much by the comments and that he is forgiven so it should not be a problem.
