More in The ShmoozeHot on the heels of Mel Gibson and Michael Richards, radio personality Don Imus let loose with his own barrage of antisemitic vitriol on the November 30 broadcast of his “Imus in the Morning” show.
That morning, the program, which is produced in New York by WFAN and simulcast on MSNBC, was going to host a group of gospel singers known as the Blind Boys of Alabama. In anticipation of their appearance, Imus recalled reservations voiced by station supervisors prior to an earlier appearance by the group.
“I remember when I first had ’em on a few years ago,” Imus said. “The Jewish management at, whoever we work for, CBS, were bitchin’ at me about it.” WFAN is a subsidiary of WCBS radio.
“We had a meeting in my office,” Imus continued. “They were furious, but of course I don’t care what they say and never have.”
At this point, the show’s executive producer, Bernard McGuirk, a regular on-air presence, said of the Blind Boys, “Even if you wear a beanie, how can you not love these guys?”
“I tried to put it in terms that these money-grubbing bastards could understand,” Imus replied. “I said: ‘They’re handicapped, they’re black and they’re blind. How do we lose here?’ And then a light bulb went off over their scummy little heads.”
Imus co-host Larry Kenney, an impressionist who appeared earlier in the program as the Rev. Jerry Falwell, then said: “They probably were trying to push a more Semitic group on you. I don’t know, maybe the Paralyzed Putzes of Poland, or something like that.”
“You can’t believe what goes on behind the scenes, at least with me with these people,” Imus said. “And fortunately, I don’t care.”

Imus said a stupid unkind thing. Punish him, let him do penance and then put him back on the air. My money is on Imus to turn and make a crusade against racism and sexism (although what he said wassexist--He would never have said anything that bad about black men Look at his other crusades, veterans' benefits, autism, his ranch for kids. He could do an awful lot of good. And he makes me laugh. Usually.

FOR YEARS I HAVE BEEN WRITING ABOUT DON IMUS AND HIS HORRIBLE ANTI SEMITIC REMARKS------BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE...........IT FINALY TOOK THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO GET HIM OFF THE AIR..........WHEN HE HAD JOE LIEBERMAN ON THE SHOW........AS SOON AS HE LEFT THE AIR, ANTI SEMITIC REMARKS WOULD START...........I WROTE TO THE ADL, BUT NOTHING WAS DONE..........I HOPE THAT HE NEVER COMES BACK ON THE AIR ,BUT I AM AFAID HE WILL FIND SOME ONE ELSE TO PICK UP HIS SHOW.......UNFORTUNATELY HE HAS AN AUDIENCE FOR THESE TYPE OF COMMENTS .........!!!!!SOMTHING MUST BE DONE TO STOP THIS POISON OVER OUR AIRWAYS............!!!!THE AMERICAN PUBLIC AND CBS AND NBC SHOULD BE ASHAMED THAT THEY ALLOWED THIS TO CONTINUE.............!!!!
CBS bosses aren't money-grubbing Jews. CBS bosses are money-grubbing dinosaurs who don't know that much of their medium is doomed (and a lot of them are Jews)
This schmuck is going to get what he deserves. I hope the network stations will bar him PERMANTLY!
They should have hit the idiot in the pocketbook...sue him for defemation of character. Both stations fired him, but this stuff has to stop!
What MSNBC and CBS has done to Don Imus is disgraceful. This good man - who raises millions for charities et. al. has been betrayed - for what? His employers have shown themselves to have no backbone, no courage or honor. Almost everyone I personally talk to feels the same way. I feel that MSNBC and CBS represent a new and dangerous kind of America - they have lost touch with the true values of this society and to have the likes of Sharpton or Jackson dictate the direction of appropriate discourse is ludicrous. Don Imus has done more to help people worldwide than 1000 Sharptons or Jacksons - they are nothing more than self promoting charlitains and frauds. I also can not believe the piling on of the 'so called' friends of Don Imus. They ought to be ashamed.
nothing wrong with that. i hear worse every day on tv ever watch
south park or other shoes like that.
It is not really what Imus said... that may be bad enough, but it is what's in his heart that stinks. He is an old craggy has-been that should be off the air. If he has charities that he supports fine let him do some good, but being on the air is not something he should be doing. Let him join the other dinosaurs that have out lived their time!
"Paralyzed Putzes of Poland".....BWAHAHAHAHA!
I am a hypocrite. I have enjoyed his show which I have watched maybe 20 times. I thought this was an overreaction, i wouldnt have used those words, I had never heard antisemitic remarks and now reading this I am again examining my thoughts on the man. It reminds me of when I lived in the south and how everyone wanted to fly the rebel flag because it was historical. I used to tell them well the nazi flag is historical too I guess. So again, we learn to walk in other's shoes and we are humnbled.
don imus got what he deserved. his remarks were outrageous. that some people don't recognize this is emblematic of the condition of this country. racial, ethnic and religious stereotyping should not be tolerated in America. it's truly a pity that a man like Imus can be so popular. It's an even greater pity that CBS and NBC supported him for as long as they did. it's just another example of the crass misanthropic money-.grubbing that corporations are all to easily capable of
The man is a THOUGHTLESS,HATEFUL MAN!!!!!!!! He is entitled to his feelings,but NOT on public airwaves
126 of the Forbes 400 are Jews - that's 32%; yet Jews are only 2% of the society. Sounds like a lot of people - especially Blacks - have been swindled!
People love to blow things out of proportion and to feel victimized so as to gain a moral upper hand and so-called free pass.
A lot of people made a lot of geld off him over the years...why is it just now that they "notice"?
I don't get it... what specifically is the insult that everybody is so upset over? Or is this not the whole article? I feel like the outsider after hearing an inside joke - do I laugh yet?
allah u akbar . . . amen.
oh snap, I forgot this site is owned by umm . . . hypocrites
Imus is jewish
Hi Very much for a long time searched for article on this theme.Thanks. good by
Hi, folks For the latest study, it was The most common diseases associated with are chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholism, and ( scarring of the liver ). Moreover, chronic viral hepatitis is common in alcoholism, and both and alcoholism cause cirrhosis which usually precedes the development of cancer. Therefore, the contributions and interrelationships of , viral hepatitis, and cirrhosis in the development of liver cancer are complex. Despite the complexity, it is important to try to understand the contributions of each disease so that patients at highest risk for liver cancer can be targeted for . Theoretically, they also might be targeted with treatments that prevent the development of liver cancer, when such treatments are developed. A practical study published in October 2007 has extended important the latest about the homogeneity of liver cancer to chronic viral hepatitis, alcoholism, and cirrhosis. This is a manly study owing to it used the records of Swedish health registries to discern patients for inclusion in the study. The Swedish registries consist of cleverness on the entire society of Sweden. They are hefty and whole registries and dominion been in avail for multifarious age. In materiality, they posses provided a treasure of score about rife diseases. An analysis of the Swedish data demonstrated that among patients with alcoholism slick was slightly more than a coupled accrual in the risk of liver cancer in that compared with the general human relay. This insufficient development suggests that alcoholism alone is not strongly related to the development of liver cancer. On the other hand, patients who were alcoholics but also developed cirrhosis, presumably since a settlement of their alcoholism, had a 22 - commune aggrandizement in the risk of liver cancer in that compared with the general general public. Remarkably, the development of cirrhosis in alcoholics substantially increases the risk for liver cancer. Patients with chronic viral hepatitis had a 34 - district greater risk for liver cancer because compared with the general humans. Patients with both chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis, however, had a much greater burgeoning in the development of liver cancer - - 118 - district. ( Presumably, the cirrhosis was caused by the chronic hepatitis. ) Decidedly, the combination of chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis has a exact well-made association with the development of liver cancer. This association is much stronger than the association of the combination of alcoholism and cirrhosis with liver cancer. The stronger association with viral hepatitis than alcohol supports a greater role for the hepatitis viruses through compared with alcohol in promoting liver cancer. What can we conclude from this study ? Primeval, the risk of liver cancer is remarkably fresh in patients with chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis. The risk also is another in patients who are alcoholic and own cirrhosis, although the risk is less. Second, if we craving to substantially prevent the development of liver cancer, we duty spot patients before they evolve cirrhosis and accordingly prevent cirrhosis. Third, existing and newer techniques for liver cancer surveillance probably should be applied to all patients with both chronic viral hepatitis and cirrhosis and possibly to patients with both alcoholism and cirrhosis. Fourth,we need to develop better techniques for liver cancer surveillance. A satisfactory solution to the problem of liver cancer in chronic viral hepatitis and alcoholism will not be quick or easy. With all the best Steven
My true feelings? Don Imus should be crucified. -If the blacks want to be the agents of his martyrdom, so much the better for us. -It's a shame that the ADL is so busy supporting the Zionist project that it's unable to make even the slightest bit of noise about such a venomous and vituperative, not to say typical, example of anti-Semitism. I'm reminded of the protagonist of Potok's *My Name Is Asher Lev,* in which the father is so busy promoting Ahavas Yisroel abroad that he's not able to recognize the neglect of his own son, and of his potential. Sorry to say, this is a tension endemic to Judaism, and it's not going to go away.
