Why was D. Imus “punished” for saying the “N” word, yet M.Reagan does not get punished at all for what he did?

Question

Why was Don Imus “punished” for saying the “N” word (and for using other racial slurs), yet Michael Reagan advocates the mass execution of innocent people and does not get “punished” at all? What Don Imus did was wrong, and he definitely should have been punished for it, but what about Michael Reagan? I am not a 9 11 Truther (although I do believe the 9 11 Truthers have come up with a lot of compelling evidence which supports their theories). What Michael Reagan said on his radio program shocked and appalled me. I went out on YouTube, and I listened to every chilling word that Michael Reagan uttered. Then I asked my boyfriend (Donald) why Michael Reagan is not being punished in some way, and Donald could not give me a satisfactory answer. The 9 11 Truthers are not advocating the mass execution of anybody. They are just people who are trying to open other people’s eyes to the fact that our government either caused 9 11 to happen or let 9 11 happen. Political dissent is not grounds for being executed! What Michael Reagan said was utterly irresponsible, and some lunatic out there in the world might take Michael Reagan’s words to heart and go and shoot up a group of 9 11 Truthers who are protesting somewhere (sometime in the future). I’m not saying that Michael Reagan should go to jail or anything. I just think that he should be punished in some way (like Don Imus was).

Answer 1

yeah,. not a truther, but you buy into their snake oil hook line and sinker

NOTHING the 911 truthers have claimed are true, NOT ONE THING.

You need to educate yourself as to why 911 troofers are considered the bottom of the food chain, idiotic, living in momma's basement idiot's movement

Oh and 911 truthers have stated WORST things than M.Reagan, have. They've adovcated VIOLENCE against debunkers of their tripe.

Kevin "hang 'em high" Barret, calls the for execution of EVERYONE who disagrees with him concerning 911.

Robert Balsalmo - has more than once claimed violence against several known debunkers, on his website Piolots for Troof.

Alex Jones - the blowhard disc jockey idiot, claims violence against the FDNY, the NYPD, and Larry Silverstien for their "involvement in mass murder" as stated on his website.

These are the "leaders" of 911 truth

Answer 2

Political viewpoints are not a protected ground of discrimination, either legally or socially.  You put out your political viewpoint, and you're asking to have people say offensive things about you.  It's a very different thing for me to say "All of Nader's supporters are morons" as opposed to "All people of skin colour x are morons."

See the distinction?  Supporting mass political executions may be a little over the top, but it isn't discriminatory in any way.

Answer 3

arus - just becuase some people act a certain way does not mean they are all that way. He was referring to what he said on air. If the truthers said that on air I would be equally appalled. Some people, unlike you, believe in equal rights and treatment for everyone, not just the ones they don't agree with.

I agree Reagan should have been in trouble. It is actually illegal to do what he did under California law. You are not allowed to call for the murder of someone and say you will pay for the bullets on the radio waves or anywhere. Its called a death treat He did not say it satirical either, if he did I may look at it different.

My conservative anti-truther dad even does not like Regan anymore becuase of it.
