Another Jew Hater out of the Closet: Don Imus

Man, it's a tsunami of Jew hate these days.  Here's a vile exchange on recovering alcoholic Don Imus has on his radio show. Maybe he ought to go back to drinking.

Money grubbing? I love that. Jews are among the most charitable people................... ugh. I am not going  to even go there. I am sick and tired of the Jews always having to explain themselves, justifing their existence ("Look how many Nobels we've won! Look at our contributions to science! Medicine! Humanity! Arts! Let us live!)

Imus: CBS Bosses Money-Grubbing Jews The Forward hat tip Lori Marcus

Hot on the heels of Mel Gibson and Michael Richards, radio personality Don Imus let loose with his own barrage of antisemitic vitriol on the November 30 broadcast of his “Imus in the Morning” show.

That morning, the program, which is produced in New York by WFAN and simulcast on MSNBC, was going to host a group of gospel singers known as the Blind Boys of Alabama. In anticipation of their appearance, Imus recalled reservations voiced by station supervisors prior to an earlier appearance by the group.

“I remember when I first had ’em on a few years ago,” Imus said. “The Jewish management at, whoever we work for, CBS, were bitchin’ at me about it.” WFAN is a subsidiary of WCBS radio.

“We had a meeting in my office,” Imus continued. “They were furious, but of course I don’t care what they say and never have.”

At this point, the show’s executive producer, Bernard McGuirk, a regular on-air presence, said of the Blind Boys, “Even if you wear a beanie, how can you not love these guys?”

“I tried to put it in terms that these money-grubbing bastards could understand,” Imus replied. “I said: ‘They’re handicapped, they’re black and they’re blind. How do we lose here?’ And then a light bulb went off over their scummy little heads.”

Imus co-host Larry Kenney, an impressionist who appeared earlier in the program as the Rev. Jerry Falwell, then said: “They probably were trying to push a more Semitic group on you. I don’t know, maybe the Paralyzed Putzes of Poland, or something like that.”

“You can’t believe what goes on behind the scenes, at least with me with these people,” Imus said. “And fortunately, I don’t care

WFAN is a station full of Jew Haters. Perhaps my most vivid of personal memories of 9/11 came over the car radio listening to that station the day after the horrible attack. WFAN was my favorte station but that day I listened in shock as two the afternoon sports hosts who are the stations biggest stars after Imus, Mike Francesca and Chris Russo blamed 9/11 on the United States' support of Israel. They went even further suggesting that Jews in the U.S. needed to take a loyalty oath to decide between America and Israel. I do not know if they ever apologized or tried to explain their insensitivity. After two weeks of waiting, I stopped listening to the station.

A few months later, I remember reading a column from the Posts Sports TV reporter (I believe its Phil Mushnick) he was digusted about the hosts comments and asked the station If he could listen to the tape (keeping a copy of the tape is a requirement per the FCC). Anyway what do you know the tape was accedently taped over....oops.

I used to listen to Imus, even tuned to MSMNBC to watch his radio show on TV.

But he quickly lost my support and attention - I like his "ranch" for cancer kids, but other than that - he's a pompous arrogant left-leaning BDS ass. It's no surprise he's a Jew-hater too. He can go fuck himself.

[PMarc]

Pamela, Jews should NEVER apologize for anything or plead for acceptance from anyone. Imus' and others' loathsome bigotry says everything there is to know about their inner darkness. That is their problem, not the Jews'.

[Netman]

Don Imus is a self loathing Jew! How loathsome is that!

[A. Truman North]

As a Reform Jew, this just strikes me as funny- at least, as funny as Don Imus ever gets, which is not very funny. I would have laughed along with him if I ever listened to his show anymore.

As far as Coburn and Francessa are concerned, you can keep them. I don't like their sports and I don't like their politics.

There are honest to Gd anti-Semites and anti-Zionists who need their comeuppance before we go after a third-rate geezer like this self-parody. You're giving him more ink than he's had in a decade.

Best,
Truman

[wxjames]

It's not Coburn and Francessa, Truman.
It's Francessa and Russo.

Poor Senator Coburn needs a shower after that.

[Steve Harkonnen]

I'm not surprised with Imus. No wonder Howard Stern hates him.

[pastorius]

Don Imus is a Jew? Are you sure about that?

Howard Stern has always said this guy is one of the most racist people he had encountered in the business.

[Yidwithlid]

Imus is not a Jew. He used to always say that he believed in the Baby Jesus. His wife on the other hand, If I remember correctly, either her father or both her parents are MOT

[chsw]

Imus is an older and less gross version of Stern. Take everything he says with a 100 pound bag of salt.

BTW, isn't every businessman or businesswoman "moneygrubbing", whether or not they are Jewish? We live in a profit-motive society and we owe almost every convenience, medicine, and much of our material enjoyments to that profit-motive. Imus owes his job to that profit-motive. If Imus cannot sell advertisements on his show, his career would be as dead as post-Thanksgiving leftovers in your refrigerator today.

[Yidwithlid]

sn't every businessman or businesswoman "moneygrubbing", whether or not they are Jewish?..Huh WTF? In a capitalistic economy there is a profit incentive. but I wouldn't call that money grubbing

[--mdd--]

chsw - I been in business for 20 years providing a service. If I were as you say "moneygrubbing" I wouldn't have lasted one. My customers would have gone somewhere else if they thought that I was only in it for the money.

Be real.

I fell asleep last night with the TV on. I was watching one of those investigative shows on MSNBC. Imagine my surprise at waking up this morning to that gravelly voice and that ridiculous hat! I was sure I was still asleep and having a horrific nightmare!

He is an assclown!

[isirota1965]

I used to be an Imus fan, if only because he had great guests. However, look at who his favourite guest is; Pitchfork Pat Buchanan, whose antipathy towards Israel knows no end. SO, should it neceessarily come as a surprise if Don Imus too harbors anti-Semitic feelings? I tuned him--and his show--out long ago. The problem is that many people have not...............

I had no idea that Chris Russo and Mike Francesa made those comments. A tape of them must exist somewhere. If they really did say those things, I have listened to them (I usually do so online) for the last time.

Here is the letter that the ADL said to the station Right afterwareds Anti-Defamation League

Mark Chernoff
WFAN-AM Program Director
Infinity Broadcasting
Kaufman Astoria Studios
34-12 36th Street
Astoria, NY 11106 September 24, 2001

Dear Mr. Chernoff:

Since September 12th, ADL offices in the tri-state area have been flooded with calls complaining about comments made by "Mike and the Mad Dog" show hosts Mike Francesa and Chris Russo. The complaints focus on the hosts suggesting the motive behind the World Trade Center attack is U.S. support for the State of Israel or, more importantly, suggesting a divided loyalty for American Jews between our country and Israel.

We have reached out to you asking for a response to these complaints in order to better inform our constituents about this matter. At this point, we need more than a casual explanation for the comments made by the hosts. The calls continue to come in on a daily basis describing the hosts' continual injection of Israel in connection with the World Trade Center tragedy.

We understand that WFAN is a station whose focus is the sports world. At this time we suggest it would be appropriate for Mr. Francesa and Mr. Russo to be instructed that their listeners tune in to hear an analysis of the game rather than unfounded presumptions about a horrific act of terrorism.

We look forward to your response.

Sincerely,

Abraham H. Foxman
National Director
Anti-Defamation League

Here are some excerpts Phil Musnick columns in the NY Post

9/24/01:
Several times in recent days, Francesa and Russo were able to put their fingers on the root cause of Sept. 11's terrorist attacks - Israel, U.S. support of Israel and, by extension, American Jews. Such an outdated canard was very interesting considering current world events that apparently elude Francesa and Russo.....
...But Russo and Francesa's most stunning moments, emboldened by the sycophants in their audience - the only callers who are indulged without interruption - came when they suggested that American Jews, on their program, submit to make-believe wartime loyalty oaths to either America or Israel.

I'm sitting there, a third-generation American, my late father a Naval lieutenant who served in two theaters during WW II, four people I know, including a fireman, are missing and presumed dead, and Francesa and Russo, are inviting me to take a loyalty test designed for American Jews to prove their virtue to two sports talk know-it- alls in the wake of an attack by religious lunatics on the United States.

And then On 11/8/02 he write this column
in the ny post.
(Copyright 2002, The New York Post. All Rights Reserved)

UNLIKE Mike Francesa, I'm uncomfortable making myself the focus of my work.

But Francesa told several lies on the air Monday, self-serving lies not easily apparent to his audience. And, as Winston Churchill said, "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

And the lies he told, simultaneously on WFAN and the YES Network, were at the expense of my integrity. And so I write, today, both in my own defense and to expose a 50,000-watt clear-signal liar. (And because it's a juicy story, too.)

Monday, Francesa and Chris Russo responded to an item I wrote about them in that day's Post. It noted on the day of the Nets' home opener, they did a rare remote from the Meadowlands, offering, at the top of the show, a bunch of reasons as to why they were there, but likely excluding a significant one: That night's game was the Nets' first regular-season game on YES; and Francesa and Russo are on the YES payroll.

"Dumbest thing I ever heard [sic] in my life," Russo said.

"Not even a kernel of truth," Francesa said.

While, knowing them as I do, I don't believe them, that doesn't mean that I'm right or that they lied. The lies are those that followed.

Francesa: "This is the same guy who last year, when quotes were attributed to me in The Post, and The Times was going to slaughter me, called up and [The Times] had to can the piece because he [The Times columnist] had to admit that The Times never heard it."

Russo: "What was that? I forget that one."

Francesa: "Those quotes about 9/11 and everything, which weren't made and no one ever found them. Plus, so he had to admit that he never heard them, so he got them second- or third-hand and they weren't even true quotes and they didn't even have the quotes, so they couldn't do the story."

Wow, damning stuff. I fabricated a story about the content of Francesa's show in the wake of 9/11. Consequently, the New York Times was forced to "can" a story in which it had planned to "slaughter" Francesa based on what I'd written.

Scandalous. I should be fired. But only if it were true.

Sports media columnist Richard Sandomir is the person from The Times who contacted Francesa.

"There was never any overt attempt to do such a story," he said Monday night. "I spoke with Mike, but then had neither the time nor inclination to pursue it. I couldn't, not after [WFAN program director] Mark Chernoff told me that the show [in question] was not taped.

"There was no attempt to slaughter' Mike because there was no attempt to pursue it beyond that conversation I had with him."

Furthermore, Francesa's claim that I fabricated quotes, then attributed them to him is a total lie because I never quoted either Francesa or Russo in that column. I couldn't quote them because WFAN claimed that it did not tape that particular segment.

But I did hear them - first-hand, not "second or third-hand" - then wrote a column critical of them for characterizing the 9/11 attacks as the fault of Israel, and by extension, American Jews.

I criticized them for suggesting that American Jews declare their loyalty to either Israel or the U.S. I wrote that as a third- generation American Jew and the son of a World War II veteran U.S. Naval officer, I found their take to be ignorant, repugnant and inflammatory.

And I listened at length, that day, because I'd already received calls, faxes and e-mails complaining about Francesa's and Russo's simplistic, bigoted overview on 9/11, one that ignored the fact that radical, theocratic Muslims were murdering non-Muslims of all faiths, all over the world.

The fact that no tape was, in Francesa's words, "ever found" - he failed to mention WFAN's claim not to have taped the segment I wrote about - was used by Francesa, Monday, as proof that I fabricated a story about him.

And that bogus premise, based in a lie, was used by Francesa as proof as to why The Times killed a piece that would've condemned him.

And that bogus premise, based in a lie, was used used by Francesa as proof that quotes I attributed to him were fabricated - when he was never even quoted.

I got the articles from the NY Post archives, If anyone wants me to email them the PDFs I got from NY Post.com for further proof, feel free

Imus can kiss my big, white, hairy ass. He's the embodiment of all things wrong in this country. Style over substance wins every time with him. As far as the synchophants that surround him, they're all a bunch of butt munching monkeys, sucking on HIS ass for all they're worth. It's sickening isn't it?

[DoctorDentons]

Imus may be a recovering alcoholic, but you can never recover from stupid.

[majdvmphd]

Imus is just bitter that Howard Stern beat out his ratings 25-something years ago. Blame the Jews when our success leaves you in the dust, huh?

Is Imus Being Crucified by Jews or Just Liberals in General?
*
There are those who might shake their heads at the tut tutting and moral disapproval expressed by the media over Don Imu's "knappy hos" remarks but there is no mistaking that this nonsense marks an important landmark in the devolution of America. Oh, and let's not forget the usually amusing Al Sharpton ponderously advising Imus to respect his own race by not denigrating himself as a "cracker" on Al's show. So what is wrong with this picture? Imus is being crucified by the PC crowd but this same crowd thinks nothing of men sticking their penises in multiple rectums (not to mention uncritically accepting vaginas) and slaying millions via AIDS in the process. Light a cigarette and see those with smoke sensitivities wrinkling their noses at the moral and unrepentent stench of the smoker. Yet display a story about an abortionist killing a baby who has nearly come to term and shoulders will barely shrug. Why has race become the last moral sensibility of those who have no moral sensibilities? Who is responsible? Is it the Jooooooooooos, the PC crowd in general or both?

One might raise the following issue as an anthropological observation (this is not racism): Jews, are particularly sensitive to racial issues because if the cracker crowd were allowed to express itself impenitently regarding the antics of the black brothers and sisters, no doubt and as sure as God made little green apples, the Jews might also become subject to the mockery of the Christian cracker. Could it be possible that any insult against blacks is ipso facto a potential insult against Jews and therefore worth marshalling the resources of the Jewish editorial complex and PC censors in general?

This kind of faux "sensitivity" has permeated our society. Does anyone remember the homosexual community's outrage against the homophobic comments that the US military was writing on its bombs? We could kill people in the Middle East but God forbid a homophobic comment should be written on a bomb casing? What is wrong, what is wrong with these devolved imbeciles? How about the faux outrage of Democratic politicians when their patriotism is questioned? Welcome to the Alice in Wonderland world where everything depends on "what you mean by is."

So personally speaking, I think Imus should be given the first annual Chris Rock, Racial Humor Equality Award and the hypocrites in the media should turn the eye of their shallow moral judgments upon themselves. What was it Christ said about plucking the mote from your brother's eye while not removing the log from your own? Whoops, I forgot, wasn't He was crucified for these and other scandalous remarks? Imagine suggesting that the Goyim might be equal to the chosen people in God's eyes and that what might make a man unclean is what comes out of his mouth. Don't tell the truth, don't tell the truth, don't tell the truth...don't even look at it.
