Don Imus: Cancer Diagnosis


Broadcaster Don Imus, 68, reportedly has stage two prostate cancer, according to the NYTimes.com. Imus said nothing more about the state of his condition, other than he is confident his doctors will help him beat it. Imus is most known for making inappropriate remarks about the Rutgers women's basketball team which resulted in the cancelation of his CBS and MSNBC radio show in 2007. He returned to ABC last year.—WLW

Swiffht--Either you're living in your own "I do no wrong" world or you are just THAT ignorant. And I see that it's ok for YOU to use God to justify your viewpoint, but it's not ok for ME? Oh, I get it. It's because I'm White. That's right. Again, the Blacks can do wrong, yes? But we Whites, we be some real nasty people. Oh, that's right, all us honkies should have our flesh eaten by them maggots, but you Black folks have done nothin wrong against nobody, so you be saved, right? Get over your self-righteous racist self Swiffht. Reading the posts on this site have been incredibly eye-opening. No wonder many Whites, including me, just will not listen to the whining anymore.

Anonymous, if I had a history of racist rants against another race of people, then I deserve to have the maggots feast on my flesh. And stop using God to justify your point of view, he has enough problems dealing with our screwed up world. Sadly, you are not the only person making excuses for Don Imus. Still, i hope he exits very soon and feels the heat in hell!

Again, Swiffht--YOU are not the ONE to judge, God is. I truly, truly hope you have never done or said anything harmful against another person, because--again, based on your reasoning--the maggots will be eating YOUR flesh when you die too. Remember, that old saying, "People in glass houses..." You should maybe try to remember it more.

Anonymous, if you think i'm insensitive, you should find out how God punished those who transgressed against his people. Remember what God did to the Egyptians for not letting his people go? Well, as far as i'm concerned, the sooner Imus's flesh meets with maggots, the better!

Real nice Swiffht. Yes, he said a horrible thing, but does that give you the right to wish him harm? Two wrongs make a right? I truly, truly hope you have never issued a racial negative towards another race, because based on your logic, you deserve to be sent to hell.
