Tucker Carlson thinks Obama "sounds like a pothead"
Dear Friend,
Tucker Carlson has a long history of using his MSNBC show, Tucker, to lob smears against progressive presidential candidates. But in recent months, he has directed a truly bizarre level of personal vitriol toward Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL).
Whether he's trashing Sen. Obama as "sound[ing] like a pothead" or "seem[ing] like kind of a wuss," one thing is clear: Tucker Carlson has abused his position as a media personality to personally attack Barack Obama.
Carlson may have a problem with Sen. Obama, but we all know that the real problem is with Tucker Carlson and his propensity for peddling smears and misinformation about progressives. My friend, the time has come to take a stand.
Today, I am asking you to contact MSNBC and Tucker Carlson and demand that they stop the smears on Sen. Obama.
Here are just a few examples of the puerile and ridiculous attacks that Tucker Carlson has directed at Sen. Obama over the past few months:
- On the July 10 edition of Tucker, Carlson described Sen. Obama's "rhetoric" as "kind of wimpy." (read more ...)
- While discussing Sen. Obama's speech in Fairfield, Iowa, on the July 6 edition of Tucker, Carlson asked: "How high is this guy? It's like, what is he -- he always talks between bong hits?" Carlson added: "Well, he sounds like a pothead to me." (read more ... )
- On the July 2 edition of Tucker, Carlson said of Sen. Obama, "He seems like kind of a wuss." (read more ... )
- During the "Obameter" segment on the February 7 edition of Tucker, Carlson criticized Sen. Obama's church, the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and religious beliefs, stating, "[T]his stuff sounds separatist to me" and it "contradicts the basic tenets of Christianity." Carlson also claimed that the church's theology is "racially exclusive" and "wrong," adding that "it's hard to call that Christianity." (read more ... )
We all know that Carlson dropped the ball on responsible journalism a long time ago. But his bizarre obsession with Sen. Obama has reached a new low, even for Tucker.
There is simply no place for these juvenile attacks to be broadcast every evening on America's cable news channels. As Americans, we have a right to both expect and demand more from our news outlets. The public deserves a productive debate about ideas and policies, not program after program of Tucker filled with relentless personal attacks, smears, and falsehoods.
That is why I'm urging you today to contact MSNBC and Tucker Carlson and tell them the smears must stop.
As always, thank you for your support. Please make sure to contact MSNBC and Tucker today!
Sincerely,
David Brock,
President & CEO

I wonder if MMFA favorite Olbermann will name Tucker "Worst Person in the World"? Nah , he works for MSNBC so he will ignore that but when he leaves MSNBC he will backstab him like he did Imus. This letter to friends is a joke. I love this part

But calling someone "Worst Person in the World" and countless stories on "Bill O" and "Ann Coultergeist" is not juvenile?
No Sue,
Olbermann merely points out the lies and filth which emanate from your heroes--like O'Reilly and Limbaugh.
Your argument is just sort of irrelevant.
Just as irrelevant as O'Reilly and Limbaugh.
And your assignment for the next month is to google "olberman lies" and read them. I know you are an honest man and when faced with facts will accept them. As I have.
Well I wouldn't call Olberman infallible but please just give me one thing you think is a lie so I don't have to disprove a bunch of wing nuts. You might like his opinions but I have never heard him lie. Perhaps you can enlighten me.
California Governor Arnold S. got it right: Rush Limbaugh (or fill in your favorite right wing talker, from your local AM radio GOP talking point to cable media personalities like Tucker Carlson -- many thanks, Media Matters, for NOT calling him a journalist) is IRRELEVANT. The less time we spend listening to their desperate defense of a thoroughly bankrupt ideology, the better off we will be. Isn't Tucker the perfect media representative of the George W. Bush Era, in which ignorance, mendacity and privilege trump competence, integrity, and accountability?
sueeld, Oh I get it -- Olbermann is immature because he points out how O'rielly, Limbaugh, Savage etc. lie and you find his criticism comprable to the foolishness of Tucker calling Obama a weed smoker? Wow, your brain makes some interesting leaps. Keith criticises media pundits' untruthful words and that equals the sillyness of Tuckers school boy tactics: making up stories about Obama smoking reefer...... Wow, you need help on your analysis skills. Good luck.
Time to kick some right-wing butt!!
Taking back America: One dirty, stinkin', filthy conservative at a time.
Ah yes - after growing up in the tough neighborhood of trust fund tykes - the bow tied brawler vamps his verbal pulchretude for the crowd. Jesus - even I could drop little Tucky like a sack of dirt.
He probably fights as well as he dances.
I would like to express my concern over TuckerCarlson's "attacks" on Mr. Obama. I believe as a"journalist" Mr. Carlson should adhere to facts.Mr. Carlson's behavior would not be tolerated onan elementary school playground.I believe that MSNBC is supposed to be a newsoutlet not a gossip magazine.
Saw Tucker last night on Abram's show speciously defending David Vitter.
Tucker Carlson is a prime example of why trust fund babies should never be given ceremonial jobs.
I doubt viewer complaints will have any effect on whether this guy remains on the air at MSNBC. As long as his show makes money, he will be on. imus wasn't fired because he was obnoxious, he was fired because advertisers left.
Your right on about that assertion. If the show makes (good(sic)) money & he doesn't do anything like Imus then their he'll stay to pose that his opinion is fact; I remember though that even Hitler had an opinion.
Perhaps we also need to start Campaigning these Advertisers. Hmmm! I wonder what 100K in emails to the Public Relations Departments & Local media outlets of these Advertisers would do. Has it been done on an issue by issue basis?
Just Wondering!
peace 2 all beings (except neo-cons) Michael Scott
Why not e-mail a complaint UnHip...
Only takes a couple minutes.
Well there you have it. We've already established that since he was once a Young African American Man, he must have been some kind of criminal or revolutionary, and since he was raised abroad and his middle name is Osama or something, he must have been brainwashed by Jihadists. Now we learn that since he was once a Young Black Man Attending College, he's bound to be a POT HEAD!You think I should switch my allegiance on that account? I mean, Kucinich is right about everything but he's so boring and he reminds me of that college professor who gave me a "C" when I deserved an "A". Barrick here is the kind of guy I can feel comfortable sharing a bong with!
Please, somebody, convince me this isn't the absolute nadir of loathsome racism. Please!!!
Bob Somerby (dailyhowler.com) is right. You can't make stuff up that's any better than this.
I'm not exactly sure how this even smells of racism. I feel your reaction is either a kneejerk one--or simply a dishonest one. Not every criticism of an African American (be it serious or sophomoric) can be traced to being race specific.
I mean, Tucker Carlson is sort of a silly target for MMFA being that he's is probably one of the least watched and least self-righteous of conservative commentators out there. There are bigger targets making far more serious, slanderous comments about Democrats. But if we are to ignore all of that for a moment, Senator Obama has, on a number of occasions referenced his own past drug use. No, that doesn't make him a pothead today (it doesn't even make him a pothead then), but it does add perspective to the pothead comment. Further perspective could be found by anyone holding the semi-precious commodity known in some circles as a sense of humor.
In the end, it's quite clear to anyone with half a sense of humor that the several points cited in Mr. Brock's letter are not dangerous and incidious personal smears, but are instead sort of banal attempts at humor at a third party's expense: i.e. jokes.
Sure, they're not funny jokes, but they're not all that hurtful, either.
He admitted to doing drugs.
Tucker Carlson is a very hateful person. In spite of his little boy looks, his bow tie dress ensemble and his futile attempts to sound bi-partisan, he just flunks at it. But he has a right to his OPINION. He has no right to be a part of an attempt at character assasination and one wonders if there is a touch of racism in his comments.
Hang on D its going to be a bumpy ride......Yes I e-mailed MSNBC and ask that the smears against Obama be stoped. If Pucker has a problem with Obama he should book him and go face to face. I am a fair man, just like the rest of you here. I also ask that Olbermann stop lying, period.
Tweaker,
Tell us a couple of Olbermann lies? You have to name them, otherwise we won't buy it.
Just google "olbermann lies" and read, watch, do the research. My personal favorite was the famous "Olbermann double lie". Any way here are the top 10 lies of 06. http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2006/12/keith_olbermann_2.php
As I suspected, not impressive. Not completely sold on the source or the weight of the accusations. A lie in my view would be something like Valerie Plame was not covert, or that Joe Wilson claimed Dick Cheney sent him to Niger. Or any host of other popular myths perpetuated by the right wing press.
So much for liberal media bias. I see Olberman as being liberal because he has the integrity to call his peers on their misinformation and lies as well as directing his ire towards Bush and his enablers.
And I see Tucker, Hannity, Hume, O'Reilly, Scarborough, who has occasional moments of clarity but is really a conservative. Let's see who else, Beck, Dobbs, and their rotating cast of guests like Dick Morris, Ann Coulter, Charles Krauthammer and Bill Kristol.
Where are the liberals? Colmes is too polite to be effective. Olberman is it. I'll forgive him if he gets a story about a Drudge Report wrong assuming he did. But your source is simply not credible and should be dismissed. I do.
There is a problem here, you have not had time to read or understand the lies. YOU DO NOT WANT TO KNOW! Who told you Plame was or was not covert? Why did you believe them? Would they lie to you? Has Plame or Wilson EVER lied? And yes Cheney has lied many, many times. Shallow, very shallow.
The CIA did Tweaker. And you can read the NYTimes opinion piece that Wilson wrote you'd see he never made the claim that Dick Cheney sent him.
My sources, the actual op-ed piece mentioned above press releases from the CIA, Patrick Fitzgerald and the Justice Department, sworn testimony before Congress including a statement approved by the head of the CIA General Hadley that confirmed that Valerie Plame was covert at the time of her outing and in fact had traveled over seas in that capacity within five years of Robert Novak's column.
In short I went to the sources of information and not the spinners in the press. Please disprove any one of my claims here. I'm pretty confident you can't. You can smear the players but that doesn't change the facts. The CIA asked the Justice Department to look into their covert agent and Bush loyalist John Aschroft had no choice but to investigate. Facts, not opinions chief. If you doubt them, that's your prerogative. I think it's you who doesn't want to believe the hard facts.
It's an odd thing that one feels they have to search for a partisan to find truth. The truth is that Olbermann is no better than O'Reilly or any of the other conservative commentators. They both pander to an audience of individuals most of whom are so entirely blinded their own bias that they fail to see how they're being manipulated by a business that's main concern is to ensure they watch the advertisments that regularly interrupt the programming the companies pretend to care about. And I don't mean this to be an anti-capitalist/anti-corporate rant or anything. I just mean to say that commercial television operates from the perspective where they'll say whatever they think their portion of the audience wants to hear. Olbermann has found a relatively small but growing audience of liberal/'progressive' -types who've (at least from 8-9pm) chosen to reject the actually informative programming of National Public Radio and PBS in favor of the patronizing shenanigans of a glorified sports reporter.
Tweak,
No one ever said that KO never stretched the truth.....
But compared to the people that he speaks about mostly in truth he is a saint!
Can you really be in such a fog to believe even for a second that those at FOX and those they suck up to tell the truth more?
Lying is never good and I know it when KO does go in that direction but for the majority (my opinion) of the time, he speaks the truth.
He is a decent enough beacon of light and you are right about one thing, that KO isn't correct all the time.
If KO hears about my post on this thread I hope he takes my advice and lets the real liars lie and he simply calls them on it!
I'm old, I don't completely believe anything anyone says any more and neither should you.
Like watching a car wreck I had to go back and read through the entire top 10 of this guy who seems to dedicate an enormous amount of time parsing Olbermann's words to accuse him of word parcing. The number one lie claims that KO said that John Gibson said that massacres were alright. KO may have been sloppy in his reporting he did not say that. He made a clearly sarcastic comment. To infer what the author of the KO infatuation web site was claiming is a serious stretch. They would be wise to spend a little more time here and researching the lies of the right wing thugs.
I agree, in my book a right wing lie is 1 and 1/2 times worse. More is expected. P.S. Vitter should resign......immediatly.
I agree. I think the Dems should do more to enact the ethics reform they promised. For the record many have called for Senator cold hard cash Jefferson to resign. It should be the norm. Conflict of interest is conflict of interest, bribery is bribery and buying prostitutes is buying prostitutes.
I agree. But they have to make an KO lied site so they have something to link to.
"Olbermann watch"?Oh that IS rich.I'm sure the pimply teenagers at OW take themselves VERY seriously.LOL!
Please visit "the news hole" at MSNBC under "Countdown" if you really want to see sophomoric lunacy in action.
Not sure if this counts but here it is anyway. In 1995 when Cal Ripken Jr. was on the eve of breaking Lou Gehrig's consecutive games record, Olbermann was leading the charge of pundits that were of the opinion that Ripken should tie or stop short of the record so Gehrig's record would live on.
Keith did an op/ed on the NBC nightly news just a couple of days ago on Barry Bonds chasing Hank Aaron's HR record. He compared both chases and even mentioned that "some" were calling for Ripken to stop short, but he never told the audience that it was "HE" who was the most vocal on this.
I know it's not an out and out whopper, but Keith tends to stretch the truth sometimes.
Oh sure. I don't doubt your story. He was fired from ESPN because no one could stand working with the guy. Frankly I was surprised to see h im pop up on a cable news show. He's always been that smart a__ sports commentator with obscure references. Kind of like a more sports savvy Dennis Miller. Both are probably absolute jerks to be around.
Yep, Olbermann is just like Dennis Miller, except intelligent, thoughtful, and well-informed.
People who refer to other people as "Smart Asses" are usually just projecting their own insecurity and jealousy. Get over it. Some people are smarter than you are, and aren't ashamed of it. But this isn't new- since at least the first Eisenhower-Stevenson race the Right-Wing has loved to equate Intelligence with Elitism and Ignorance with Honesty.
Or they could actually be smart asses. Please don't get so partisanly defensive that you mistake a friend for an enemy - Bing's been defending K-O for most of this thread.
Gracias amigo!
Yes I'd like to know just what lies of Olberman has you so worked up about it.
Not worked up at all. Only a fool would watch his program and expect to have complete view of any subject. If you get that giddy feeling when you hear someone bash Bush all of the time then his program is for you. His ratings show very few find pleasure in that exercise. Just say-in.
I don't watch any cable news program for that matter. Except for clips here and there on the internets. I'm with you I trust no one but have observed some are more trustworthy than others.
"His ratings show very few find pleasure in that exercise."
Better check again. Although he trails BO's geriatric numbers, Countdown has increased it's viewership every month for the past two years, meanwhile Billy's has steadily been dropping.
Just sayin.
Rick, I did, here they are......
http://www.olbermannwatch.com/archives/2007/04/another_does_of.php
I am aware of where you got your information, are you aware of the statistical contortionist that put the numbers togeather? He was using TVO numbers as well.....people who recorded the event and MAY have watched it. Wow.
And here.........
http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/04/03/q1-numbers-countdown-declining-in-the-demo/
People who intentionally record shows using a DVR typically do watch the shows - why would you assume otherwise?
Good point, you are assuming they watched the show, ok. Keiths "numbers" are comparisons to other shows in his time slot. O'Reilly, Zahn and Grace.
These Viewer numbers are actual taken from....
http://insidecable.blogsome.com/2007/06/29/thursdays-numbers-47/#more-6367
O'Reillys viewers 2,700,000
Olbermanns 613,000
You could assume that 10% of Olbermanns viewers TiVo'ed the show or 61,300 and watched it.
You also would assume that 10% or O'Reillys did also or 270,000. That is why O'Reillys TiVo numbers were left out.
TWEAK:
It's really good to know that the 70% of Americans who DISApprove of Bush and what Bush has done to our nation are not all under the influence of Olbermann, since as you point out, his viewership is smaller than, say, O'Reilly or Limbaugh's listeners.
Obviously, Americans are well able to determine that Bush is awful, most without Keith's help. How this "fact" helps the Rightwing, I can't imagine.
Tex, you are right, it doesn't, in reality we are only talking about .20 % .....less than 1/4 of 1 percent of the American population watch Olbermann I doubt that 5 % even know who he is.
Here's what I sent to MSNBC:
Would somebody at MSNBC pay attention to more than ratings and look and listen to Tucker Carlson. He is a henchman for the Republican party, which is actually nothing new on cable TV. But he is also a living, breathing personification of a screed. Anything or anyone Democratic/progressive, like Barack Obama, is worthy of high pitched, voice-cracking adolescent tantrum. He bleats his attack, his implicit smearing by asking rhetorical questions that are in themselves indictments without substantiation, as though he simply has to find something obnoxious to say about Democrats or the left, akin to squealing "Isn't it true that they have sex with gekkos? I mean, isn't it true? It is, isn't it?"Tucker's attacks on Obama are right in line with his lock-step, general Republican Talking Points. Nothing subtle about Carlson. You know where he stands but you don't want to step on his opinions because they're so hard to get off your shoe. He's less virulent than Ann Coulter, but that's damning with faint praise. I used to think he was wise and informed and clever. Now I just think he's a pimple-voiced bore. He makes O'Reilly look smart and that's a feat-and-a-half.Stuart FischoffLook, we all know that Tucker is a waterboy for the Republican Party. But, it's a free country and if NBC doesn't mind his shrill style and overt hypocrisy, why should we care? He proclaims his "principled" positions, then in his zeal to disseminate the party line, is forced to make an argument which contradicts his stated position and only serves to make him look small and clownish. I say let him become the poster boy for the unraveling of the conservative movement. If this is what the intellectual right has come to, then I say "go Tucker"! Having said all that, I have one word that best describes the guy: "weenie".
And he is piss poor at packin water to.....you want him back? Take him.
"Intellectual Right"?
You are talking about people that believe the world is 6,000 or so years old.
It is no wonder our country is where it is today!
Tucker Carlson's a moron.
I know its scary for little fellas like Tucky to see Negroes on the television and all,but maybe now that he has out grown his bow tie and gets to wear his big boy pants,maybe the grown ups at MSNBC can coax Tucky into calming down and use his "inside voice".
Wasn't Tuckie the one picking his nose in the movie Caddieshack?
haha...I think he is
"Frankly he's a snotty white boy who gets on my nerves, but this made me hit the ceiling because what he's doing is flat out wrong and racist."
Yep apologies i didnt get who penned the above, but it hit me as so so accurate.
That boy is a racists little SNOT. Everytime I see him on TV i just want to smack him or at least knock some sense into him.
I have mixed grandchildren who I hope will be coming up into a better world than we have now, and so many in the media are not helping the situation.
It is time for all of the media outlets to grow up and forget about ratings, just report the facts because "frankly", we the people, don't give a good damn about snotty nosed brats' opinion. "Frankly", we the people, are probably all a lot smarter than you corporate heads think we are. "Frankly" if we could just get some facts from the so called "news" stations we can make our own decisions without their hate filled or agenda ridden opinions.
This is but one more example of unethical, shoddy practices that have given journalism a big black eye. There is no excuse for this idiot to be influencing people's opinions about anything; but, then, there isn't any excuse for people to allow themselves to be influenced by idiots, either. Both Carlton and his audience are beyond contempt.
No matter what anyone else says, his attack tonight on his guest's sex life was truly the lowest point of his storied "career." Why anyone would ever appear on his show again is an utter mystery to me. He should be utterly blacklisted by any and all progressive spokespeople.
I wish that Carlson would invite John Stewart on his show, to prove he has a sense of humor. Then history could repeat itself and he would go off the air. Oh, please....
So the pothead comment was sort of over the line, though it was made in an attempt at humor. The rest of Tucker's comments I actually thing are pretty routine political jargon, nothing out of the ordinary. I think Brock is carrying a grudge ever since Carlson insulted him on the air several months ago.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing today to express my sincere disappointment in MSNBC's continued encouragement of the coarsening of political dialog through its support and airing of shows like "Tucker," hosted by Tucker Carlson.
Many of us familiar with Carlson's fact-free opinions during his tenure at CNN were very surprised to see MSNBC offer Carlson his own hosted program, although I can say that I am not surprised by his behavior since he has become a host for MSNBC. What does surprise me is that MSNBC, which is purportedly one of the major News networks and not an equivalent of E! Entertainment, is allowing this drivel to continue unchecked on its network.
So far this year (and occurring with increasing frequency), Carlson has directly called Obama "wimpy" and a "wuss," accused him of marijuana use, suggested Obama was trying to start riots, and questioned the validity of Obama's Christianity. In addition to this, and without any basis in fact, he insinuated underhanded dealings by saying Rezko had purchased Obama's home. One has to begin to wonder at which point a News service like MSNBC begins to question whether or not their programming is actually serving News, instead of juvenile tripe, misinformation, and outright lies.
I am not alone in saying that in a world where our enemies are ever-increasing outside of our borders, I am sick and tired of men like Tucker Carlson as well as women like Ann Coulter whose sole basis of fame and only reason for being on television is their ability to divide us within our own borders into neat little groups of "conservatives and liberals." We are a country at war, we are a country that is sinking like an anchor into a sea of indebtedness to rapidly growing global powers, and MSNBC is directly encouraging a flailing helplessness of the populace by continually giving air time to solutionless, infantile, immature and divisive commentators like Tucker Carlson. I understand the sponsorship appeal of controversy, and I understand MSNBC's desire to balance opinions on the News with conflicting viewpoints - after all, many right-leaning political fellows believe Keith Olberman is a troublemaker - but to milk the controversy for all its worth without providing a hint of substance is completely irresponsible, and is something that MSNBC should carefully consider. What kind of value are you offering your viewers by offering this level of discussion?
Thank you for your time, and I sincerely hope you consider your message in the future.

Whatever Tucker Carlson says should not be taken seriously. The crazy things he says (and there are many of them) are so bizarre and delusional, that he is the one that looks, speaks and acts worse than a 'pothead' (e.g. his belief that global warming is not caused by humans--definitely delusional). His mind is so warped I think he must have been dabbling in some serious mind altering drugs now or at some other time in his life. I feel sorry for his kids for having such a loony father.
Other than c-span andc-span2, MSNBC(Olbermann) and Comedy Central(Jon Stewart) are the most knowlegible sources of reliable news. Even CNN has become infiltered. I also must mention BBC. I can still glean some truth from them. I also rely on Air America and several websites and newspapers to compare information. FOX "News" is basically propaganda. This is where Tucker's niche is.
You forgot 2 other very reliable sorces...The Colbert Report and the South Park news anchor. Personally I wait until Saturday and get all of my news from the "Saturday Night Live" news broad cast.
Tucker (the middle aged adolescent bow tie preppie) Carlson thinks Barack Obama is a wuss? That is very funny.
Obama and Tucker in a steel cage match.....even I could not stand to watch that.
I have been emailing MSNBC for several weeks about this jackleg Tucker. I read that his father is the head of the Libby Defense Fund, yet he makes no "full disclosure" of that fact when he defends the criminal Scooter. He needs to go to FOX to tell his lies.

Turn off the image of the beast, your TVs, and what any of these people have to say won't matter one bit.
We can make a better world without politicians and governments. Get on with your lives and ignore them. Evil self-destructs. Their day is coming, all of them.
We will clean up the mess they've made, but we need to stop name calling and labeling and stereotyping. That is what they do and it is to keep the populace at odds with one another while they continue to commit their crimes, and their slaves in the MSM work to keep that divisiveness going. They want us, whatever side you think you belong to, to continue bickering with each other so that we will be impotent to do anything about them by making real changes in our society and in the world. We bicker and argue, we help keep them in power, and the cycle of misery continues.
Just like Mom always said," anyone can be a critic ".
All Of MSNBC Has A Problem With Barack Obama
After the first Democratic debate, MSNBC conducted a poll asking a broad range of question relating to who won the debate. As usual, MSNBC had their spinners giving their opinion as to won the the debate. They all said Hillary Clinton won "hand down."
Not giving the spin machine much thought, I found myself going along with the assertion Clinton won the debate until I scene the MSNBC's own poll results. As it stands, Barack Obama won in every category. You would think the special commentary body spinning the debate would want to know how the debate came out. At the very end of the broadcast, Chris Matthews gave a brief mention Obama won the debate they conducted. This took all of two, and I mean two, seconds.
Although the poll was not scientific, it mattered to include the result in their speculation process. Tucker Carlson is not the only one with a "thing" for Barack Obama and withholding these poll result is prove of that indifference.
Joseph
I am certain that tucker carlson has hit the nail on the head obama is a wishy washy kinda guy. Lets face it he came on Imus in The Morning to further his chances of becoming our President, then when the whole nasty crowd like Mr. Sharpton and Mr. Jackson ..they are not rev's in my vocabulary showed up he immediately flipped .. I lost all respect for him...Keep it up Tucker ...but then you were not on Mr. Don Imus's side on this either... so I suppose it does not matter to me... because I am one of the many who have stopped watching MSNBC.... and tanked the rating because of the way they treated an Icon, like Mr. Imus... I hope the whole network goes under... and I also will be glad when Imus wins the lawsuit against CBS.... another station I refuse to watch or listen to... I have also stopped buying any sponsors products... hope they feel the crunch too... still a huge fan of Iman... and the gang... MSNBC.. really messed up big time.. and I am happy to see bussiness is continuing as usual...
