    Please see things clearer - PD is getting her just rewards for her slur and incompetent brand imaging.

    There are far worse injustices going on than this.

    Your opinion. I prefer to think she is getting her just rewards for being a practicing racist.

    Imus lost his job at a radio station, Jimmy the Greek lost his job, Mel Gibson lost A lot of deals and money. All if them made a sincere apology. PD had her chance on the Today Show and no apology. Just an angry lash out.

    All those mentioned got there jobs back.

    How you are able to twist around what you saw and heard on the Today Show interview to fit your views is amazing. There is nothing remotely close to a racist rant in that interview. You think you have a gift of knowing what other people know, think and feel. All I see from you is distrust, misinformation, and behavior that ends up promoting the same type of hate and lies you think you're standing up against.

    Below is a quote from an email I received today from a friend. Yes, it's a joke, but I think it sums up the feelings of many people who are shaking their heads wondering how this PD thing has gotten so overblown.

    "NOTICE

    The Southeastern meeting for
    P>40WHNSTNW (people over 40 who have not said the ā€˜Nā€™ word) will be held in
    the phone booth at the corner of Peachtree St. and Ponce De Leon Ave in Atlanta
    on Monday, July 8.
    We apologize for the size of the
    accommodations but a smaller venue could not be secured."

    When I'm face-to-face with people and I remotely get this OCD on any topic, their response of "enough!" is a hint to move on to something else...."enough!" happened sometime ago on this topic.

    Don't know if this is attention whoring or a few wanting additional punishment to PD like denial of any income for life, imprisonment, execution, etc. If I did not know better, it would seem her racist comments would be at the level of the numerous ones Mel Gibson has made in recent years - it's not close to that. Yes, the responses are getting as crazy as the occasional road rage stories of shooting at someone that cut them off.

    So you have a soft spot for the racists. Who knew?

    PD got what she deserved. Perhaps now she may think twice. I would think that PD public embarrassment may help transition those last hold outs who think they are superior to others. We live in a multi cultural society and we need to all have mutual respect. That is being American. Your either on the good side or the bad site. The door is open and PD can walk to the good side and transform herself.

    After all Imus, Gibson and Jimmy the Greek all lost there empire and got it back after transition. PD will not be treated differently.

    To me any support if a racist like PD stinks, and it raises questions about that persons integrity. Chuck I don't think this applies to you Chuck.

    Do you support racists and bigots such as Jamie Foxx, Vanessa Williams, Alicia Keys and Alec Baldwin?

    I have already made it clear that I don't support racism; and the only way that it will begin to go away is by equal persecution of its offenders, on both sides of the coin.

    Mass I'm glad you said you do not support racism.

    I'm not a lawyer but PD and others are tried in the Public opinion court. Everyone's offense is different. I can say that the known examples of racism that were unquestionable all lost employment and sponsorship Imus, jimmy and Mel. So looks like all suffered some setback in Public Opinion.

    However I know you will disagree because that's what you do
