Why does ABC choose to support someone with a long racist history? Prejudice and hatred have caused most of the world's problems. A dozen times in the past, Don Imus has made racist comments. It is disgusting that a major corporation like ABC pays money to this old, racist fool to spread his hate. In contrast, NBC and CBS had the morality and good sense to terminate this alcoholic hatemonger.

As for Imus-whoever rehired Imus is at fault. He should have never been rehired. All the people vying for such a position with no shortage of applicants it was a bad decision, but that tells me about the management who rehired him.

McCain is pure incompetant because Black is not fired. He SHOULD have dismissed him immediately!!! Did you ever notice McCain talks with an old man lisp? He needs to retire-not be president. McCain is an identical copy of George Bush. A vote for McCain is a vote for another term of Bush.

[WinterHaven]

Why isn't Black fired? That's a very horrible thing to say-even criminal in my opinion. I think by the fact that Black is not fired shows INCOMPETANCE.

I guess AP is so biased they can't report the news that Barack Obama played the race card comment at a Florida fundraiser.

Come on AP, don't be biased.

Be a news agency not an Obama cheerleader.
