Should the FCC fine Imus for his insensitive remarks? How Much?

Singapore jails bloggers for racist remarks
A Singapore court has sentenced two ethnic Chinese to prison for posting racist remarks about ethnic Malays on the internet, in what is considered a landmark case underscoring the government's attempts to crack down on racial intolerance and regulate online expression.

Animal shelter worker Benjamin Koh Song Huat, 27, was jailed for one month while Nicholas Lim Yew, an unemployed 25-year-old, was sentenced to a nominal prison term of one day and fined the maximum $5000 for racist comments against the minority Malay community.
