Don Imus is an idiot

He's an idiot, but he doesn't need to be suspended. What he said was insensitive and stupid, but it still remains within the bounds of the First Amendment and should be protected. I've never heard his show, but political radio shows spew lies, gossip and spin (and hateful speech too!) in the name of the truth and never get held to account. The right to free speech is protected by the Constitution and is one of the best rights to have and should never be abridged. A private company can do what it wants, but it should uphold the right to say what you will, even if that is repulsive because sometimes (not in this case) what is seen as repulsive or offensive is what needs to be said (again, not in this case). Condemn what he said, but protect the right to say it.
