I'm ignoring the predictable political team playbook shit. If somebody wants to dangle the hook, it doesn't mean folks have to chase after it.

Beardedbruce, my point was that nobody DID arrest Imus. If someone spoke out loud and publicly back in the 60's and said that Blacks should stay in the back of the bus, and subsequently got fired from their job in the Public Relations department of a large corporation, would you claim their rights had been violated.

I'd put forth the theory that the person had screwed the proverbial pooch and would just have to update their resume and move on.
