VIDEO: More from KC Star columnist Jason Whitlock on the Imus ’scandal’ (ADDED:THE LATEST WHITLOCK COLUMN)
Yesterday in my general commentary post on the Imus scandal and the dropped charges against the Duke lacrosse players, I referenced a column from Jason Whitlock, who writes for the Kansas City Star, who I think nailed the REAL problem that has come out of the Imus/Rutgers ‘controversy’, and that is, that the real bad guy in all this isn’t Don Imus but instead “gangster culture.”
Last night, Whitlock was a guest on Tucker Carlson’s show on MSNBC and slammed home several points from his column and then some – and dare I insert a “Toldjah so” in here somewhere? 
Here’s video of his appearance:
In related news:
—– The Rutgers women’s basketball team is “in the process of forgiving” Don Imus. Whew! I’ll sleep better tonight.
—– The Wall Street Journal has a feature today on how the Imus ’scandal’ got to be so huge. Media Matters, a Soros-run organization, is featured prominently in the story as the catalyst for the hysteria that eventually ensued. No wonder in the aftermath, the Nutroots at Media Matters were trying to paint Imus as a conservative.
—– One radio station is bucking the “drop Imus” trend and airing a “best of Imus” series next week.
—– The pastor of the church the coach for the Rutgers team attends says an apology isn’t good enough:
While team members respected Imus’ willingness to apologize, they wanted him to understand how they were hurt, said Rev. DeForest Soaries, Stringer’s pastor, who joined the meeting. Imus tried to explain what he meant, “but there was really no explanation that they could understand,” Soaries said on NBC’s “Today” show.
“An apology is appropriate for an insult,” he said. “But restitution is necessary for an injury.”
Injury? Restitution? Were these women assaulted by Don Imus? Oh wait, I know – it was an “emotional assault.” 
—– And finally, Allah’s got a link roundup of misc. commentary on both the Imus story and the lacrosse news, including a plea from Tom DeLay to have Rosie O fired if Imus has to go. An interesting sidenote to that is that Rosie has been defending Imus the last couple of weeks – a little worried, are we, Rosie?

Update I: Think you know everything there is to know about Al Sharpton’s racist history? Think again. This article is an eye-opener. If you don’t read anything else this weekend, make sure to read this one. It’s longish, but well worth the read.
Update II: Here’s Whitlock’s latest column. This guy’s on a roll.

From your update link ST and an eye opener for sure…….
Wasn’t someone chided not long ago for a statement similar to this? Or is it just the word articulate and who says it that alters the meaning of reality?
It is amazing that this clown is somehow seen as anything but divisive and an extreme racist bigot! He should make the payment awarded here
and share a cell with Nifong for a few years, to ponder what they could’ve done to actually serve justice instead of themselves.Two true votrepeneurs these lying fools……
Uncle Ruckus, I certainly hope you’re right about how the Black Community views this freak.
I’m sick of the media talking about this non-stop. Its over and Imus is gone.
Now lets see some OUTRAGE over what was done to the Duke players —- but that ain’t gonna happen .. the revs sharpton and jessah jackson ain’t gonna say what was done to them is unacceptable …. so hipocritical.
FYI,
It appears that MSNBC and WFAN radio are going their separate ways. MSNBC is apparently replacing Imus with a conventional news program (we’ll get back to that in a minute), while WFAN will for two weeks double pump their afternoon sports guys, Mike Francesa and Chris “Mad Dog” Russo in morning drive as well. As Francesa and Russo said at the end of their afternoon drive show Friday afternoon: “we’re just doing this for two weeks to give the station time to right the ship.”
What they did NOT say (and probably don’t know yet) is which shift they’ll end up doing. It’s possible that WFAN, which does sports talk except during morning drive, will now go to sports in the morning as well.
If so, then I assume it means that Les Moonves, CEO of CBS (if he’s even that closely involved with this issue considering he’s probably devoting most of his time for getting next season’s schedule in order by next month’s upfront), has decided shock jocks are not the way to go–at least not on a sports talk station.
As for MSNBC, they’re in a terrible bind. They are going with a no-name news show just when CNN is fixing to roll out their new anchor team of John Roberts and Kiran Chetry, who start Monday. Probably not what they had in mind.
Hey, Sis, Media Matters never took any money from Soros. Then again, you neocons can’t let facts get in the way of the smear, right?
What a crock:

This is akin to the same liberal lies like “we never took any money from Abramoff!” He didn’t hand it to you directly, but he gave it to another group to hand to you, so that’s completely different!
More of what the meaning of “is” is, lies, distortions, and misrepresentations. All part and parcel of the wonderful democrat/liberal shell game.
I think liberals believe honesty is a mental disorder.
