There are angry demands for the firing of radio host Don Imus, whose show is also seen on MSNBC. Imus is known for stretching the limits of propriety, but this time stepped over the line. He, in an exchange with one of his sidekicks referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team in offensive and racist terms.
He says it was an effort to be funny. Clearly, it was not.
He's since apologized.
One of those demanding Imus either resign or be fired is the Rev. Jesse Jackson. But Jackson, too, has a history. In 1984, he made remarks that insulted New York and Jewish people. The Washington Post recalls that Jackson at first denied making the comments, then apologized, but never distanced himself from the hateful remarks of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Your thoughts? Forgive? Forget? Does an incident like this one cause you to examine your own heart?
