    hah hah.

    It's what liberals do. They demonize the opposition. Limpbergmeister is a shill for the

    da that should hit the highway.

    I've SAID before, I'm not a shill for Rush. He aggravates me too often, especially when he was spending a lot of air time

    flappin his jaws about cigars...

    But he is also RIGHT here and there.

    Ask yourselves this, oh liberal sheep...

    if that's all Rush is, why are the leftists and Obama freakin out about Rush, and demonizing him?

    If he's "only entertainment"... why the beef with him?

    Because they don't like dissent, that's why. I'd rather listen to Hannity any day.

    but you libs will diss anybody in the media that opposes what Obama is, his socialist baggage from the past,

    and what he's doing now.

    You would be better served at working on the nads to have a critical set of eyes at Obama's actions -

    especially this "bailout" package...

    more billions of pork that won't help the economy than you can shake a stick at.

    and Dems/Obama are now whining that the previous bailout package, that THEY

    ASKED BUSH to hurry up and approve... was Bush's fault for not having restrictions...

    I don't buy fake gems for investment. But that's what Dems are asking.

      Yeah PB&J, like these folks can find NPR on their dials. That's funny. It's a Liberal shill, anyhow...

      Has anyone noticed that Cal is like the Lumbergh of the "Political Discussion" board? Whenever he is proven to be a fraud, he can be found in another thread spouting the same fraudulent shit.

      So is that better or worse than rooting for the quarterback who looks nicest in a thong?

      But yes.

      NPR is a liberal shill.

      So are the Timeses

      And nobody's "all" bad.

      All of those stories on the rainforest and music and literature sure are liberal, Steve.

      It's sad that "smart" is the new "evil," isn't it.

        Oh sorryy.

        I guess that if Pravda also ran an occasional human intersest piece it'd be straight news right?

        I think Pompous must be the new Smart.

            It would be sad if it were actually true.

            Learning about a subject (to me) would be trying to learn both sides realistically rather than grab a quote to use in a bickering contest.

            If it makes you feel superior to pretend NPR (or the timeses) doesn't slant left you're only kidding yourself.

            It appears to me the small sips folks take from that Pierian spring are barely enopugh to sound "informend."

            Ideological slant does not mean bullshjt though.

                What is the downside to learning about some sort of traditional Portuguese music, for instance? Where is the slant there?

                    Stern? is a gross, xxx-rated shock jock.

                    You are comparing him to Hannity or Rush?

                    The comparison begins and ends with FREE speech.

                    If you find it ok that Stern was forced off the air by the religous right because you found him offensive and their was nothing wrong with that ,how could you be surprised that a liberal group would be offended by Hannity and Limbaugh and not want them off the air?

                    You cant have it both ways,where does it end?

                    I dont condone any of it because I can change the station whenever I want, people should be able to listen to whatever they find entertaining or informative.

                    Sorry Dan you are misinformed.

                    Stern allowed a caller to rant on and on using the word N***** about a half a dozen times.

                    That was what the fine was for.

                    He jumped to XM Sirius for the money, not forced anywhere.

                    Do the F bombs make his show funnier than baba booey?

                    I don't enjoy him but that's that.

                      Dan - having freedom means also having responsibilities to not interfere with others' freedoms.

                      with no responisilities/restrictions, means everybody is free to have their

                      freedom trampled on.

                      It isn't a matter of let Stern do anything he wants. People and children

                      should have a right to not be seriously offended by grotesque and repulsive intent

                      to shock audiences as a matter of feeble "entertainment".

                      There is no intent, nor grotesque offense in what Hannity and Rush do in exercizing

                      their *responsible" freedom of speech.

                      In that, disagreeing is not legally offensive. Putrid, obscene, grotesque verbage and actions are illegal

                      on the airwaves to protect the rights of those who have the right to be free from that offense.

                      Saying that "they can turn the channel" is like saying "they can un-shoot themselves". Once the damage

                      is done, it's done.

                      Society has a right to -legimately- protect itself from serious violations of the responsibilities

                      we have.

                      Failure to restrict others from abridging your freedom is not censorship - it's protecting your freedom.

                      Otherwise, others are "free" to violate your freedom.

                        It's so incredibly sad that you can't see Stern and Hannity/Rush as the same thing. Just because you like one much better than the other doesn't mean they're all not mere entertainers. Give it a rest already.

                            Figures that Howard Stern is Danamal's hero butt buddy. The guy is a total fooking loser. Sure he makes big money, off of losers like Danamal. People with no intelligence level that like to here cuss words and "show me your tit's" five thousand times a day. What a fooking idiot you are Danamal.

                                Dan, your last post proved MY point.

                                You don't like those who aren't liberal, I take it. But that is not offensive, by the very

                                information from the FCC you posted.

                                There, hate to break it to ya, is NOTHING obscene or morally offensive by disagreeing with

                                your heartthrob and cult leader, Obumbly.

                                There is no moral equivalent to bring up Hannity and Rush, when the obscene and intentionally

                                repulsive to most folks' sensibilities regarding Howard Stern.

                                At least TRY to be serious when you want to be taken seriously.

                                  Free speech should be free. I don't think there should be broadcast regulations for content. Nobody has the right to not be offended, if you are offended then change the channel or turn it off. You have the right to speak out in criticism of something you find to be offensive, but not the right to deny someone else free speech.

                                  If you don't want your kids to watch something because it is too offensive by your standards, fine. You make sure they don't watch it. There are v-chips, channel blocking abilities and things like that. There is no excuse to censor everything for everybody else.

                                  Plus, as long as people are offended by something there will be a market for "acceptable" content. Competition is a good thing.

                                    "There's a market for it" is hardly a validation of the idea that child pornographic material on the web should be

                                    legal.

                                    The victims are the children.

                                    Society has a right, and an obligation to set limits on freedom, or anyone's freedom is

                                    null and void.

                                    You don't have v-chips on radios. You don't have v-chips on rented movies that children may see

                                    playing on a monitor in a movie rental dept/company or seeing material at a library.

                                    Parents have the freedom to protect their children from this garbage.

                                    Unlimited repulsive media brazenly finds it's way into the denial of that freedom of others.

                                    A lot of liberals, if not most, lament the harsh treatment of terrorists at gitmo, but those same

                                    liberals lament any attempt to restrict the ability of pervs to treat the psyches/and persons of children harshly.

                                    Some liberals, even to the point of insisting on supporting the federal subsidizing of partial birth abortions, and

                                    the leaving of children who are unwanted and still born alive and well, to be left in closets to die of neglect.

                                    What a twisted liberal world it is, that they fawn to create, to emotionally solve problems, but those very

                                    solutions cause far more damaging problems.

                                      I never said that child pornography should be legal. It most certainly should not be legal. It infringes on the rights of the child.

                                      You don't have v-chips on radios, but the technology is there for tv and would be easy to implement for radio.

                                      You don't have v-chips for movie rentals, but you do have things called ratings. You may have heard of them (G, PG, PG-13, R) And it already is illegal for people who are underage to watch things that are rated too strictly without parental consent.

                                      If you are afraid of something on a monitor at a store or library, complain to the manager of the place or take your business elsewhere. You do have the right to protect your children. Don't take them there. Tell them not to go there, that is a parent's responsibility. Don't censor my life because you don't want your kids to see or hear something. I wont infringe on your rights if you don't infringe on mine.

                                      There is no "kind of free speech" or "mostly free speech", it is either free or is not.

                                        So, if I have total freedom, I can do anything I want, so you have to suffer for it?

                                        I can spray paint "Bush rocks, Obama needs children to wear suicide vests" on the front sidewalk outside your home?

                                        If you didn't like it, you don't have to look, right? Freedom of speech, totally unlimited?

                                        I can put up a giant "Obama SUCKS off Liberals" sign in the devil strip in front of your house?

                                        It isn't your sidewalk, etc, right?

                                        So, nude cavorting neo-nazi skinheads can parade around children's school buses, and that's fine,

                                        because the paraders have unlimited freedom?

                                        After all, parents can just teach their kids to not open their eyes until they get to school?

                                        There are decency limits for society to legimatimately have freedom.

                                        One's pursuit of happiness and freedom cannot infringe on the security, happiness and freedom of another.

                                        My freedom to deny you your freedom, should be unabridged, and vice versa ?

                                        Being victimized by anarchy is total freedom for some maybe?

                                        Doesn't make any freakin sense. It just doesn't pass extended critical evaluation.

                                        And the refs helped pittspuke win again and I've had a long day...

                                          Really?

                                          How does kiddie porn infringe on the rights of the child?

                                          Just to play devil's advocate.

                                          If any imagineble perversion is OK for adults and homosexuals are born as such why shouldnt XXXX be able to get a blowjob for fifty bucks.

                                          That's a lot of money for a 12 year old.

                                          Is it legal to sell his picture to sell soap? Fruit juice?

                                          And why shouldn't XXXX be able to buy a film him blowing XXXX?

                                          How about animation?

                                          Should XXXX be allowed to sell kiddie cartoon sex?

                                          Hey not even a real kid involved...

                                          Plus if any of you lefties do have kids just how much filth are you comfortable with?
