Imus does not have the right to personally attack another group of individuals, broadcast it to millions, and expect to collect a paycheck for it at the end of the day. | If you think that first amendment rights only apply to what is said against the government, you need to go back and study some history books. Or, if history books are to dull for you...go rent the movie "The People vs. Larry Flynt" he went all the way to the Supreme Court and won over a parody ad that some would say was "hurtful" to Jerry Falwell.
