David Schuster Suspended for Comments About Chelsea

My first question, Is it true? Did they use her? I think that if it is true then he should not be suspended but he should get a raise! To me this comment was not like others about Chelsea. The ones where they called her ugly and personally attacked her were different. This comment was totally aimed at her parents.

They are 'pimping' her. They want to use her to gain support, but they won't let anyone ask her questions. NBC should be mocked and ridiculed for their heavy handed tactics against David Schuster. I'm no fan of his, but he was only speaking the truth. Of course, NBC is allergic to the truth, so... I think it's great that Chelsea wants to be involved in her mother's campaign. But if she's involved, she should be involved. Not a cute show piece that is untouchable.

I think we are getting into dangerious terrorty when someone makes an off handed remark that someone does not like we fire or suspend them. Several years ago a man named Jimmy the Greek was fired because he was asked why more blacks were in professional sports than whites. He responded that when in slavery the slaves were bred for strength and only the strong survived. The President of Harvard University was fried when he was at a conference and they were told to think out side the box about the problem of women not going into Math, Science and Enginering. He asked the question "has anyone looked into the possibility of there being a difference in Brain Structure?" A couple of weeks ago a Golf commentator made the comment that they only way for the young golfers to win against Tiger Woods was to take him into a back Allly and lynch him. She was suspended after apologizing to Tiger Woods, even though Tiger took the comment as a complement and laughed it off. Then last week you had the Wlamart Clerk jokingly commented to a Muslum woman, wearing a Berka with a veil over her face, "I hope you are not going to rob me". Now the store employees have to take Diversity Training. Are we becoming so conerened with an off handed comment that we over react and cause people to avoid contact with others because we might say something that might offend them. Instead of bringing us together we are building walls between us. Maybe we need to become less sensitive and quicker to overlook an untended slight or even an intended slight.

I heard about this on The View this morning. And I think Whoopi described it correctly. She said "This is what happens when white people try to use terms they hear in rap songs."I think what he was trying to say is Chelsea is Pimping her mom, not the other way around." Pimping" meaning selling her mom's point of view.Of course he Had to be fired. And now there is another suspect for all the news shows to talk about.I think that he apologized and that he got suspended would have been enough.After 2 weeks, he should be allowed to return. But Hillary has pull and she is a Scropio. You shouldn't mess with a Scropio. Maybe that is why he may never get his job back.

I think what Schuster said was inappropriate. Would I have suspended him? Eh, I'm not completely sure, but the word 'pimping' simply is unacceptable. That implies a lot of things and to suggest anything about Chelsea Clinton in that way is absolutely wrong. I can't understand how commentators on national television think that can say things like that and no one will say anything? How stupid can they be? Either way, Chelsea is a benefit to their campaign as a young role model and spokeswoman who, in my opinion, has a more genuine appeal compared to Hillary. Nevertheless, I love Hillary, but Chelsea can speak to some people Hillary may have more trouble with, and for that and many other reasons, I think it is beneficial she is with the campaign. But anything about 'pimping'? Unacceptable and wrong. And it shouldn't have been said. And I saw a comment about 'ugly' and whatnot. Well, she isn't ugly, and commentators should leave their responses to the actual facts. Please. What do you think, Annie? - Matthew
