If I risk suspension and start talking Nazi/Hitler stuff will this thread get locked?

Long term racist views.
Yes he worked for cancer kids.
Still a vile human.

Even in haiku the math comes out against him. You’re not a “boundary pusher” when you’re a white male making fun of black people, Jews or women. Sorry, but eff him.

Good grief, he was a "shock jock" radio personality...not a somber and very devout priest.
He secured interesting people to interview on the radio and cracked boundary-pushing jokes.
He and his wife facilitated some happiness for young kids with cancer. Lighten up, Francises.

Iconic, controversial, and pushed the edge of the envelope. And he rode a bike. RIP.

Why do we have a topic for Don Imus? This wasn't even marked OT...

Post Godwin's Law achieved!

Thank goodness we reached Godwin's Law in a thread about a radio DJ.

OK everyone. I think before this thread goes further off the rails I'm going to close it.
If someone wants to start another thread go ahead.

There are a lot more important things in this world, no disrespect meant to his family but this is a bike forum.

Happy New Year to everyone a bit early.
