I think you're missing the point. The issue is not whether or not he should be criticized/reprimanded for saying what he did. He's a public figure, words matter, and he should be thrown to the wolves for it (though it probably won't happen). The issue is whether or not he actually believes/endorses what was said. You watch the video, listen to his tone and his actions, consider who is audience is, and its pretty obvious that he's just getting carried away in the moment and doesn't realize the full import of what he's saying at that moment. For some reason, politicians on both sides of the aisle seem to forget that cameras and the internet exist.

This is no different from how the Republicans attempted to portray Howard Dean as mentally unhinged after footage of him getting exuberant at that one rally back in the day when in reality he was just getting carried away with the excitement of the moment.

That Imus guy was just making a joke too, a bad joke, but he got fired for what he said. Huckabee jokes that all Americans should be forced at gunpoint to listen to the brainwashing of David Barton and he's considered presidential material?
If a politician joked that everyone should be forced at gunpoint to listen/read Richard Dawkins, he'd be be hunted down and burned at the stake.

I'm no fan of huckabee, but you don't think this is taken just slightly out of context?
Guy was just making a joke...a bad joke, but a joke nonetheless.

Title Fail. First of all, obviously he is being tongue in cheek. Second of all, he technically says they should be forced to listen, not believe, or be indoctrinated or anything else. While he terrifies me (mostly because of his electability), he's not the craziest son of a bitch in jesus camp.

Yes, he was just making a bad joke. If you insist on inferring more into it, help yourself.

When you are used to hear the music from your specific card everything else just sounds kinda wrong after a while...

I think the difference between imuse and todays games is, that imuse changed the mood far more frequently depending on what you were doing.. and that most games just had an amazing soundtrack of course.

Pffft for Adlib. It was surpassed very quickly in sound quality. The Gravis Ultrasound and the like were far superior in sound.

It's not like games don't use iMuse like systems today, they do... I can't remember examples, but I do notice it from time to time. I do remember back though and remember what a huge deal it was that the iMuse system dynamically changed things, it was huge at the time.

A yes
I Think the name was IMUSE... great stuff they dont make them like that anymore...

Imus constantly made fun of black and other ethnic groups on his show. He was fired for making fun a ladies basketball team for their ethnic features.

David Letterman, by contrast, is not making fun of Palin because she is a redneck alaskan; he's making fun of her because she is an ignorant hypocrite. Her foibles are all due to her individual choices.

Wow, stay classy there David Letterman. Telling black jokes are just jokes, right? Total hypocrisy from Letterman and the far left who are drunk off the kool-aid.

Don Imus was fired for less.

>> ^joedirt:
Krupo, don't bother trying to point out the obvious to some of these sad, clueless folks. I mean the name and avatar isn't good enough for them to get it. Heck half of the all-powerful clique still don't get it. They think Westy is real, and QM is some evil they must deal with. Don't ruin my fun by edumacating them.

Wait wait wait, so I can post whatever hateful incendiary speech I want, and it becomes not only ok, but laudible as long as I create an account parodying some celebritard? Well, you hold on there while I go create an account named Don Imus and start posting racists comments and expound on how your mother is a whore. Oh those silly sifters who will then downvote my comments, what naivete! Little do they know, douchebaggery incognito is exactly what makes the sift great!

Think, ask, believe whatever you may like. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything. I was personally offended. I speak for myself as a lifetime advocate for multiracials. I am NOT a mutt. I've never been a mutt and don't intend on becoming one now. It's not a word of pride. it's a derogatory reference. If don imus had said it everyone would be screaming. if john McCain said "I'm going to get my kids a dog. probably a mutt like Barak Obama." It would be world war 3. No other group of people would allow such a slight and we should not consider it OK either. Like I said. Believe what you like. just don't call me or mine mutts. We WILL be offended.

upvoted for same.

more honest commentary in the 'amateur' comments here, than the 'professionals' in the clip.

but at least goldberg is an intellectual, regardless of disagreements. beck's just a talking head like imus, limbaugh, etc, imho.

Don't let Imus see this one.

This is a prime example of what REAL racial divides in America mean today. Jesse Jackson can get away with saying "i wanna cut his nuts off" and walk away with little repercussion. Now if sayyy Don Imus said anything close to this there would be black and white folks protesting in the streets demanding his blood!!

So why is it not ok for a shock-jockey like Imus who's profession actually SHOULD involve saying things like this(not promoting Barak nut cutting, just shock-jockeys in general) and somehow it's ok for the reverend *cough* JJ to say it????

Its amazing that Imus got fired for less. Show this bitch the door.

this video, for me, fails to accomplish it's goal. i dislike Wilders instead. his skimming view of an entire culture (much less religion) is on par with anything the american right-wing has thrown at us, only he know how to edit film (sort of). he cherrypicked the darkest of the dark in human behavior and expects us to believe that it's somehow specific to only one religion and people because of the language and clothing. i'm not Muslim, i'm not Christian, i'm not even an Aperture Science employee, but even i can see through this to the self-imposed racism and fear that Wilder must live with every day. he'd have a fine time with Limbaugh or Imus. they should have their people call each other and do lunch.

i can neither upvote or downvote the video. i see the merit in promoting a voice stifled (as an idea), but i cannot be party to the promotion of such xenophobic and hate-filled bile.

and Wilder is, himself, in violation of Godwin's Law (see the text at the end).

"Recently Don Imus slagged Scarborough with a question from left field: "You said you had sex with that intern and then you had to kill her."

Scarborough, laughing, replied, "Yeah, well what are you gonna do?"
