Obama Calls For Imus Firing
ABC News Jake Tapper April 11, 2007 04:43 PMIn an interview with ABC News Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., called for talk radio host Don Imus to be fired, and said he would never again appear on his show, which is broadcast on CBS Radio and MSNBC television.
"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Talk show host Don Imus' situation worsened Wednesday, when MSNBC announced that it would no longer simulcast the "Imus in the Morning" radio program.
In a statement, NBC News announced "this decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into account many conversations with our own employees. What matters to us most is that the men and women of NBC Universal have confidence in the values we have set for this company. This is the only decision that makes that possible."

Mr. Colmes. I am a registered Independant who always votes for Democrats.I am writing to you requesting that you read my petition that is posted on"petitionspot com under CBSHIPOCRISY. Could you please review this petition and hopefully sign it.I would appreciate your feedback about this petition. I am actually pushing for freedom of speech as well as the Hipocrisy that has been so obvious.
At this time I would really like to commend you on your handling of that biggot black panther! You had us all laughing when you guys shut him down and put him in his place.You had him admit that he was a student of Al Sharpton.
I talked to Al Sharpton on the radio the day he had Imus on, the african american girl called him and the president of the nat.assoc. of black journalist Hipocrits. I followed up with the same. He got smoked on his own show it was funny.It is obvious that Al Sharpton is an opportunistical racist.
One more thing; please recommend that Hillary return that 800,000 or give it to fund my petition of CBS radio. I was leaning towards Obama but I now feel that he is an oportunist.He is a motivational speaker but I see through him. And I will not lie with a middle name of Hussein and the fact that he went to school in India I am skeptical of him as being a plant. And the fact that he says he would of voted against the war when he wasn't in position to vote is suspect.
I didn't think anyone voted for the war. I thought they voted to give the president the right to bring our nation into war without a vote from Congress if our country was faced with an Immanent danger??????
I have to say I am dissapointed in Hillary for not running with John Kerry the last time. They would of walked into the White House even with the Republicans commiting voter fraud as we seen happen with the diabold lawsuit and HBO show. Did you see that?
Further on the Hillary matter, if she was John Kerry's running mate they would of been able to appoint all these Supreme court justices. I believe that that is the main reason that evryone is so shaky to vote for her, they feel that she is an oportunist. Then there is Edwards, I like him but I think he is too short to be President. I think this fact hurts his chances . Where is Al Gore????Why can't he run??? Kasynich is looking as the choice for voters out here!
Well I hope that you answer this email and PLease check out my petition.
Respectfully, Kevin Lynch from boston
