I'm not going to get deeper into this fight. We don't agree Chuck, this is an important story, and to me it is one about racist remarks and this is something we've long had problems with in our country. Mr.Imus did not help that problem.

Actually the side that make this into a big deal is making the situation worse. People who are racist are going to be racist no matter what anyone in the media says. But when people like Sharpton get people riled up over this bs then you see trouble brewing.
