Don Imus and Thenthitivity

Now, I don't know Don Imus from Adam. From what I have heard about his show, it sounds like the sort of thing that I have no interest in, therefore I have not wasted any time listening to it. It would seem, from what I have read about him, that he has made a career of being obnoxious.

What I can definitely do without is the hysterics over a comment that seems to be what one would expect when one elevates the "transgressive" and worships at the altar of shock.

One comment that "crosses the line" and he is to have his head served on a platter. Paul Robeson had a whole career of sucking up to the genocidal mass murderer Stalin, and he is revered as a hero who resisted blacklists and censorship.
