Howard Stern is a deutschebag. I get sick of how we idolize people in this culture so quickly. He’s not some great political revolutionary; he doesn’t believe in anything. That being said, neither do the deutschebags that want to destroy free speech. What I’m trying to say is that we’re all deutschebags, but we all have a right to be deutschebags.

Who the hell cares what Howard has said and hasn’t said? At least the man speaks whats on his mind. It may not be pc or the right thing to say, but the man has a forum and thats what he does. That’s what I like about Stern. He isn’t saying anything to please people so that they will think highly of him, he just speaks what’s on his mind at that particular moment. And to me, that’s the essence of what free speech is. Being able to say what you want, when you want, no matter who it offends.

I guess you are right–there are other sick and deranged people who talk like Stern. Real mature! Could it be brain damage caused by a steady diet of Stern and MSM?
{Wish their planes would crash and their cars would explode with them in them. Wish they’d eat tainted food and die of food poisioning. Wish they’d choke to death on chicken bones. Wish they’d die of alcohol poisoning. Wish they’s get killed by some off-the-hook drive-by gangster(s). Wish their homes would catch fire in the night. }

Kat- get off your high horse and look up the definition of ass-kissing. Saying “I find Howard Stern funny” isn’t kissing ass, nor is that hero-worship.

Your comment that I’m classless goes up on my “wall of hilarious internet insults”.

Hey Jeff,
Heard you on Stern and wanted to read your Op-Ed. Thanks for speaking out about Howard and censorship. Those of us who love Howard should not suffer because some idiots and such big babies they can’t just change the channel and not listen.

F the FCC

Meanwhile… I have bought my Sirius receiver LAST December. We ordered another unit today and will be purchasing a third by the end of the year. Once the On Demand is available in our area we will be subscribing to that as well.

Howard is going to make a lot of people eat some serious crow.

Ok, you’re as classless as your hero. I thought so in the first place. I withdraw the apology. I said that in sarcasm. Howard is an odious skippet of turbod flatulence, but hey, he makes you laugh, so he can say whatever,regardless of how perverted and demented it may be. Ass kissing Howard isn’t up my alley. You do it too well.

I found it funny. He’s had similar “prayers to jesus”, and I laughed. Everything about it: the hundred times the words “praise jesus” were used, the sombre church music playing in the background during the prayer, Stern asking Robin to be quiet since this is a “serious moment” followed by the sound of him laughing, all combine for a good segment.

The people I mentioned are some that I’ve heard people say similar things about. My comment about what Stern said being insane was said with sarcasm, since I threw in a snide comment about Pat Robertson.

I thought you were speaking from personal experience {â€™m sure there are people whoâ€™d want to see Bin Laden, Saddam, Oâ€™Reilly, Coulter, T.O., Artest, Michael Jackson, O.J., Oprah, Dr. Phil, or Andy Milonakis get cancer. Donâ€™t act like itâ€™s something unheard of and taboo.} I apologize if I misinterpreted and I must have as you have agreed that what Stern said was insane. I hope you didn’t find that episode funny.
Good nite.

By: Dave

Dave — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 03:28:28 +0000

I never implied that you have, so at least do the same in regard to me. You don’t like Stern. Wooptie-crap. I find Stern funny. Wooptie-crap.

So…wishing and/or praying that someone gets cancer is insane. I thought Pat Robertson had full ownership of being insane.

By: kat

kat — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 03:18:17 +0000

No, I can honestly say I have never been inclined to wish cancer upon anyone…not even Howard Stern. Maybe you have, and that is why you can understand a sicko like Stern. I can’t imagine any sane person saying that on air.

By: Dave

Dave — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 02:43:00 +0000

And there aren’t people who wish or pray that someone else gets cancer? I’m sure there are people who’d want to see Bin Laden, Saddam, O’Reilly, Coulter, T.O., Artest, Michael Jackson, O.J., Oprah, Dr. Phil, or Andy Milonakis get cancer. Don’t act like it’s something unheard of and taboo.

Being an atheist is no excuse for being an idiot.

By: Dave

Dave — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 02:26:01 +0000

Despite his Jewish upbringing, Stern is an atheist. So, when an atheist prays it’s taken as a joke, no matter if it’s for their team winning, some guy getting cancer, or whatever else people pray for.

By: kat

kat — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 02:18:02 +0000

Oh, praying on air that Sikes would get lung cancer and die is rather hateful, don’t you think?
{They become eternal child imitators, not in the sense of imitating children, but in the sense of being immature and imitating in the same way children imitate and pretend to be things. They want to be recognized but are without the talent and discipline for real achievement. They seek acquisition and stature through acting out empty form. They become angry imitators when that quest ends in failure or they are not recognized as worthy except superficially by those like themselves.}

“Playing god” is solely the realm of religion, not a DJ from New York.

I listen to Howard for the shocking reason that the bastard makes me laugh! I don’t think he’s god, jesus, mohammed, vishnu, baal, xualtepecl, cthulhu, [insert more make-believe names here], or a prophet for the flying spaghetti monster.

What’s your definition of “hatred” anyway?

By: kat

kat — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 01:58:06 +0000

No, it’s the bloviating of a sick man to get on radio and spew such hatred that I find fault with, not his ability to play god as some believe he is capable of being. I have to wonder how anyone could hero worship such a mean little man.
Otto Rank best described how I see Stern:{They are products of a liberal society where all people are considered intellectually equal. It is a society where unconditional encouragement of inanity is given in the supposition that such encouragement will impel people to attain their full potential. The consequence is to produce overconfident people who don’t know inanity from substantial mentality. It is a society that in recent years has come to regard personal emotion as a form of intellect. This further produces people who not only can’t differentiate inanity from intellect but who believe they are smart because they are excited as hell. The result is rather stupid people who are confident enough based on empty slogans to attempt to walk up a grizzly bear’s behind.}

Howard’s wishing, praying, incanting that it spreads further has what effect on the guy’s cancer? NONE!

Dave–the guy had already been diagnosed. What the hell are you talking about?

Edit for last sentence: the word “line” should read “mine”

By: Dave

Dave — Sat, 03 Dec 2005 01:21:07 +0000

Kat: Cancer will happen despite prayers for it, against it, or someone wishing it on another person. Any line of thinking that a disease is affected by the utterings of others is laughable.

Hank: The first amendment protects the speech you disagree with, and the speech I disagree with. When have the parents of America become foiled by the technology of the future, specifically “the knob” on radios and “the channel changer button” on TV’s and their remotes?

Parents have the right to control the content that enters their household. When they try to affect what enters line, that’s when I get pissed.

Stern is one sick piece of pus. How can anyone praise a sicko who prayed that Al Sikes’ cancer spreads from his prostate to his lungs and that he die?? He is no different than the mullahs who wish that fate on infidels. No adult of sound mind would utter the crap he does on radio. Stern exhibits a quality best described as “an invincible ignorance coupled with an aggressive stupidity.”
What a sad bunch who need a ‘hero’ like Stern. If our culture is defined by the likes of this weirdo, then God help our culture. Even Leftist Canada has banned him.

I’ve never been a fan of Stern, but the fact is, Stern was done wrong– just plain wrong. As for that cowboy you mentioned– never heard of him.

Right, Hank, the First Amendment was probably drafted in order to allow people to freely criticize the government, to protect political speech. Farting into a mike may be entertaining, but its political content is nil.

By: Hank

Hank — Fri, 02 Dec 2005 23:08:40 +0000

The First Amendment to my way of thinking enabled all Americans to speak out about injustices without fear of retribution. It has been used by Howard Stern and many others to appeal to the lower instincts of the masses. Howard and his form of base demeaning humor should not be allowed over the airways or television, all he does is spread negative and downgrading examples to the youth of the country; not to metion titillating the perverse as yourself.
Is this the free speech your defending? I don’ think the Foundling Fathers imagined how this amendment would be trampled on by the likes of you and Howard.

I have been a Stern fan for many years. Many people act in disgust whenever I turn it on at work, but then I say, is it really as bad as your canned music station? The fact is that Stern is going to satellite and can finally do whatever he wants. Whether I will go with him is another matter, but it’s kind of sad that the only way to get good radio is to pay for it. I would figure the Republicans in the Congress would be loving this, one, they are getting Stern off the airwaves and two, they are getting people to pay for something that was normally free, capitalism at its finest!

I’m glad to see someone finally wrote about Stern’s situation. Because usually people don’t, unless they are bashing him. Or they cast him off as an anomyly.
