What really got Stern dropped from Clear Channel
Yeah, somebody called in and said a racist, sexist thing.
Bullshit. This is what got him bounced.
Howard: ...over the vacation I read Al Franken's book, Lying liars who... it's great.Robin: Yeah?
Howard: It's a great... He is phenomenal.
Artie: He's a funny guy.
Robin: That's the one that Bill O'Reilly was upset about.
Howard: I can see why.
Robin: Yeah?
Howard: He does a thing. It's really funny... I bought the book, and I said on my vacation I'm going to read Al Franken's book. Lying liars who lie... I don't even know the title. And uh... the first page he insults me.
Robin: Really?
Howard: yeah, he talks about how I'm, like me and uhh Ann Coulter are McCarthyites or something... like ya know it's was just really insulting. And I And I And I And I just said, ya know...
Robin: You, and Ann Coulter, that's interesting.
Howard: I can get past this if Al doesn't like me. But, I'm not even sure why I'm like McCarthy, but, evidently I am, according to AL and ya know what, if Al says it it must be true because
Robin: because you loved this book and he was right on about everything...
Howard: I loved the book, and he seems to be right on about everything. If you read this book you will never vote for George W Bush.
Robin: Yeah?
Howard: Because, what he does is, he takes everything that you've seen in the newspaper, and goes back and he get 12 Harvard kids...
Artie: (Laughing)
Howard: ...to research everything and to find out what really happened...
Robin: uh huh?
Howard: and when you find out the truth about stuff, it is just frightening and he does a chapter on uhh on Hannity and Colmes from the Fox news network that is so funny... I mean I can't even tell you how funny it is.
Robin: Really? I've got to get this book.
Howard: Somebody outta fund him some money then let him make a movie like what's his name does, Micheal Moore.
Robin: Yeah.
Howard: Yeah. He is he is really good.
Robin: Well he's going to be on that radio, the liberal radio network.
Howard: I'll listen to him. I'll listen to him if it's as good as that book.
Robin; that's what he's planning to do
Howard: Lying liars who lie or something like that
Robin; I know it's all about lies that lying liars tell.
Howard: Yeah, and it's really funny.
Artie: Well he's one of those guys even if you disagree with his politics you think he's funny...
Howard: Yeah!
Artie: ...because he's such a funny guy
Robin: But he convinced you it sounds.
Howard: Oh oh... he was so it was awesome, the book is awesome. I'm going to give tone...
Robin: All right, I'm going to get it.
Howard: ...to Scott Depace who's like one of those guys who the republicans can do no wrong.
Fred: (Southern Accent) No thank you!
Howard: (Southern Accent) I'm not readin' that!
Fred: (Southern Accent) I'm not readin' nun uh dat der bull...
Robin: (Southern Accent) I don't want my mind opened.
Howard: (Southern Accent) Don't open up my mind.
Robin: (Southern Accent) I like it closed.
Howard: Well I've been feeling really horrible about George W Bush since what's going on with the FCC and what's going on in this country with stem cell research. What's going on now
Robin: the abortion thing
Howard: the abortion thing. I feel that there's way too much government in our lives, and I can't believe G W Bush is behind it. I think this guy is a religious fanatic and a Jesus freak.
Robin: Uh huh.
Howard: and he is just on a hell bent on getting some sort bizarro agenda through, like a country club agenda that his father will be finally proud of him. And uhh I I umm I don't know much about Kerry but I think that I'm one of them anybody but Bush guys now, ever since the FCC stuff went down and it directly effects me and even some of the things with the economy.
Baba Booey: Don't you think that it's weird...
Robin: Well, the economy is a big a huge issue.
Howard: I don't think G W is going to win. What do you think of that?

christ, i hope he's right. can you imagine the feeling, the day after the election, if bush is no longer the president? im calling off whatever im doing and throwing a party or something, and im going to do everything that republicans find offensive (sex, drugs, free speech) to extreem excess for at least a week.
on the other hand, i really dont think that is going to happen. we all know that bin laden is going to be "caught" in october, they are going to stick cheney with all of the scandals, dump him for some other father figure type vice president, and also lets not forget the fact that the voting machines are rigged. i dont think we are going to be seeing a president kerry any time soon. even if kerry wins, you can expect a coup... hell they did it in haiti, what makes you think they wont do it here

Well I'm glad Stern finally got a clue. I am a long time listener. For a long time he believed whole-heartedly in the war and preznit. Of course now that he is anti-bush I can't hear him anymore.
Of course in PGH you can turn to 104.7 and hear nothing but hate speech all day long. Quinn in the morning, Hannity in the afternoons, and the worst of them all - SAVAGE!
This type of radio is offensive to me - so when will this be banned from the Pittsburgh airwaves?

Aww jeez Justin, you've had a relapse. We need you to go call your sponsor at noncapitalization-aholics, and tell him you've fallen off the bandwagon. Time to practice proper sentence structure, capitalization, and paragraph structure.
Posted by Stentor @ 03/01/2004 03:41 PM NY
i find it interesting that you have nothing more important to do than critique my capitalization. do you feel better about yourself?i hope so, because i would really hate to see you developing low self esteem. maybe if you could contribute something meaningfull to the conversation, you wouldnt feel so empty. and yes, now im doing it on purpose

Dropping Stern was pure politics. The FCC&Colin Powell's son, Clear Channel have pro-Bush agenda. Remember when Clear Channel banned all Dixie chicks songs?. If you are anti-Bush-watch out-the Fed will retaliate.this is some scary @%#$.

This is the best news I've heard in the last 3 1/4 years! Thank you so much for finding and posting it. Y'know, I was just thinking -- seeing as how the Bush Admin. can hardly do anything right these days, and even the ultra-repulsive Stern is repulsed by Bush -- it might be safe to vote for Nader again this year.
