Reply #14: Howard Stern was all for Bush after 9/11, saying that we should bomb

all the Arabic countries to hell.

But, he also was pursued by the religious reich. And when the nipple of the Apocolypse briefly reared its head at the SuperBowl, the hammer came down, and suddenly Stern was hit with a multi-million dollar fine for some obscure reference whic made it to the air.

Finally, what turned the tide was that there was one militant Bush fellater tangent to his show who they were going to have come in while Al Franken was in. This guy was going to "debate" Franken. Before Franken ever got there, he was taking on Stern & show in a format which would be familiar to him, if it wasn't tipped opposite of what usually happens: He was the only "rightie" facing a bunch of center/lefties. He panicked and ran crying like a baby (well, not really. But the word did get out to the Reich wing that Stern was no longer a mouthpiece for Bush).

The war was on against Stern, and he dropped by the faithful Clear Channel stations - which, to the reichwingers, meant that he was done. But those 6 stations which dropped him were the majority in the same way that stepping on three ants would eliminate an anthill. It ain't going to happen.

Finally, Stern gave up the fight and signed with a satellite radio system. But he was pushing for Kerry to win in 04.
