Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Exactly where in my posts did I pledge allegiance to Hillary? Now you are just making things up. I, too, have seen the knock down politics too many times to count. I agree completely with you on that. Is she also pulling the strings of the National Organization for Women? Or are they also folding to the pressures within from women offended at the word " ho " being used on young accomplished girls? There are so many dynamics to this fight we are in and yes, all too often politics play a part as well as heavy lobbying and money controls it all. But, I still disagree that Al Sharpton is Hillary's puppet in this. She may love it and she may even encourage it, but he is doing this for himself because this is what he does with anyone who steps into his world. And do not bring me into " the board minding " concerning the CAA. I have been one of the most outspoken against what went on with the CAA and I am still pissed about it. And as far as my kid...keep him out of this. He is none of your business, frankly.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Who knows what is really going on? But it seems as if this is the Clintons attacking Don Imus through proxies in the black community for exposing the autism scandal. And Clarence Page's use of the term "autism ranch" smacks of a recent discussion with someone alluding to Don Imus' cancer ranch and his role in exposing the cause of the autism epidemic.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 I agree with Henry. As Don Imus has said he is a good person who said something bad. I think that about sums up this episode. The intensity and persistence of the reaction against him on this incident is highly suspicious. Don Imus does some great things and is a great champion of our children. He has apologized profusely, pleaded guilty to his crime, accepted his punishment and promised to make his show more sensitive to the concerns of his critics. What else does anyone want. He is a " shock jock " offending all for years. I don't always like it and when Imus offends (including offending my ethnic background repeatedly) I call him an a--hole and move on. If the critics can't move on – that is highly suspicious. I share Henry's outrage about what appears to be happening here. Don Imus is one of the few who has stood with us in our incredibly difficult fight for our children's welfare. I credit him with that and more. Political dirty tricks abound and this one is starting to stink really bad. Bob K.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Revealing. Thanks, Henry. It is becoming increasingly clear where this anti-Imus movement is coming from. This is no longer about an offensive remark. Let's find out what, if anything, NOW is doing to help our vaccine-injured kids. And I am speaking as one who has supported NOW and agreed with their position over the years. Is NOW speaking up for our kids? No! Who is? Phyllis Schlafly and Eagle Forum. Go Figure- When we all realized what happened to our kids some basic political assumptions that some of us have lived with for a lifetime had to be discarded. Not easy to shed long-held political beliefs but necessary to help our kids. On Apr 10, 2007, at 9:25 AM, H wrote: NOW endorsed Hillary just last week.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 It's completely fair to ask you if your child is somewhere on the autism spectrum. It is vital to our children's issue to " know those who labor among you " . We all need to know where you are coming from. It is also quite honorable to disclose the sort of analyst you actually are.

I have asked my friend to please request Al add the mercury, toxin emitting issue to his forum on the environment. Or if he could get me to filter info to Al regarding merc and autism.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 We should try and call in to some of these radio shows that are blasting him and try to state his good qualities (championing our children’s causes) in spite of the fact that he said something stupid (I don’t think we should defend the remark just the man). If I had a cell phone I would have called in to the Mike Malloy show last night. Most of the criticism seems to come from his earlier partying DJ days even more than the comment. No one is mentioning the camp or any of the good. I think he has done so much for our kids that we should give him a little support after this mistake. - From: EOHarm [mailto:EOHarm ] On Behalf Of Krakow Sent: Tuesday, April 10, 2007 9:30 AM EOHarm Subject: Re: Re: Imus this morning I agree with Henry.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Sharpton will end up doing vast damage to himself and his cause. And his cause is in question. I think he only wants to gain the lime light but does not know what to do with it! Those who are puppeting Sharpton are going to do it from a distance. When people tire of his shrillness they won't be there to protect him. He can not even walk in the shadow of MLK. I can not recall one situation that Sharpton has made better. Not one individual or society as a whole. Imus will redeem himself Sharpton will not. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > You need to read between the lines. > > > > > > > > Imus screwed up, but it appears they are gunning for him. > > > > > > > > Why? > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Imus this morning > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > He is apologizing profusely.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Bob, I agree with you that Imus has completely and humbly apologized. It should be let go of, but we are also talking about a person who spins his wheels for no other reason than to get his face and agenda on the tube for any reason he can...Al Sharpton. You know, it reminds me of a few things. The Amish went through hell when a gunman murdered their children in their schoolhouse and within 24 hours, the Amish people set one of the finest examples of human forgiveness by forgiving this man at time when the murders of their community's children was still fresh and their grief unimaginable. When Mel Gibson made his comments that went public after being literally leaked to the press, the Jewish community came together with him in the face of great insult and extended their hand to him as an acceptance of his apology and took it as an opportunity to educate him. Al Sharpton is not that type of person. He's going to keep this going for as long as he can simply because it fills his own agenda which is to remain a controversial " public figure demanding the end to racism. " He loves to be in the public view and to out Imus, for him, would be a major accomplishment on his own part. God knows, I am not defending Hillary Clinton. I don't support her and I don't like her policies, in particular concerning our kids...I just don't think she initiated something Sharpton would have done regardless of her agenda against Imus. As far as NOW supporting her? They are doing so because it fills their agenda. She is a woman and, in their eyes, could be the first woman president. She is pro-choice which also fills their agenda. In their eyes, they are not in her service, she is in theirs. NOW is coming out, and a bit late at that, because women find the word " ho " to be despicable and they are probably getting a lot of pressure their way as well with complaints that they didn't stand up for these women. It will be interesting to see what the girls say themselves today, which I believe is scheduled at 11 am. If they are willing to forgive Imus, then the entire thing loses traction and Sharpton can scream and yell all he wants, but he will look foolish at that point. If the girls do not show forgiveness, then Imus may truly be in trouble. I would personally like to see the whole thing end. It is being dragged out, but then again, so were all the other incidents with Mel Gibson and others. I think we are all over sensitive to it going on and on because we love Imus so much for what he has done for us and for our kids. After all, no one else showed a smidgen of the courage and determination he has in the press.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Show your support! I usually don't pass along these "add your name" lists that appear in my email, but this one is too important. This one has been circulating for months. Please, keep it going! To show your support for Hillary and encourage her on her run for President of the United States in 2008, please add your name to the rapidly growing list below and send it on to your entire list. 1. Bill Clinton Re: Re: Imus this morningDate: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 09:30:16 -0400>I agree with Henry. As Don Imus has said he is a good person who >said something bad.

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 This whole issue isn’t about the women on the basketball team who were made fun of. It’s not about making people’s lives better. It’s not about equal opportunity or fair wages. It’s not about increasing the minimum wage. It’s not about increasing funding for inter-city schools..... It’s about everyone having their agenda. You hate Imus- he should be fired You hate Hillary- it’s her fault You hate Sharpton- he’s a hypocrite You hate NBC- they are too liberal You hate FOX- they are bashing NBC for no reason Want to know someone’s political views? Just ask them what they think about Imus. I think what he said was true (paraphrasing) “I said something wrong, but I’m a good person”. He has done so much for our community and I wish we could support him. Instead of blaming everyone and their mother, is there something we can do- something proactive??????? Can’t we support the person- but not the “bad comment”? Thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
