Would (1.) Imus be back on the air after an exile of eight months and (2.) would the scribbling and chatting classes be defending his return as “free speech” if instead of reveling in gross sexism and racism he had, with equal enthusiasm, advocated a return of the progressive income tax?
When is the last time you heard a major radio or TV personality reveling in sexism and racism, when is the last time you heard strong advocacy for progressive taxation?
