If it weren't for this FCC crackdown, I'm willing to bet a lot of Stern's listeners and maybe even Stern himself would have voted for Bush and the GOP. And some poeple think this is how elections are going to be won? It would almost be funny if the stakes weren't so high.

Yep. Stern's accusation may be true, or it may not -- but it will have legs, because 1)it's common knowledge that Stern's show was always like that, and 2)lots of people know somebody who's been hit with "gotcha" enforcement in retaliation for offending the political powers that be.

Read the archives from marksfriggin.com -- Stern was bashing Bush way before Clear Channel fired him. And he didn't vote for him in 2000, either. Frankly, if anybody is going to vote for John Kerry because of this, they're too stupid to vote, especially since KERRY SUPPORTED WHAT CLEAR CHANNEL DID!
