From Imus show on November 12th, 2004, while covering Arafat's funeral:
"DON IMUS: They're (the Palestinians) eating dirt and that fat pig wife of
his is living in Paris.
COLLEAGUE: They’re all brainwashed, though. That’s what it is. And they're
stupid, to begin with, but they’re brainwashed now. Stinking animals. They
ought to drop the bomb right there, kill ‘em all right now…
IMUS: Well, the problem is we have (reporter) Andrea (Mitchell) there; we
don't want anything to happen to her.
COLLEAGUE: Oh, she's got to get out. Andrea, get out and then drop the bomb
and kill everybody…
COLLEAGUE: Look at this. Animals. Animals!
In 1985, he referred to Arabs as "goat-humping weasels." (Sunday Mail,
4/21/85)
In a reference to the crash of an Iranian airliner that killed 43 passengers, Imus said, "When I hear stories like that, I think who cares.” He then stated: "Too bad it
wasn't full of Saudi Arabians." (National Iranian American Council)

US President Tim Kalemkarian, US Senate Tim Kalemkarian, US House Tim Kalemkarian: best major candidate.
Oh my god I didn't even know he said this stuff! I am going to let other people know about it immediately because the best way to bring attention to this is to keep talking about it. God, that's really sad that no one even cared that Imus said this stuff....depressing...
lara,
I believe CAIR got some kind of apology from the the company that carries the show for some of the remarks, but it was the kind of apology that says he does not speak for us but we can 't do anything about him because of free speech etc.
This is repulsive. This stuff dates back to 1985 and nothing happened?
