"If we manage to work ourselves into a frenzy and get Howard Stern booted off the air, how long will it be before the RATs gather their strength and boot Rush?"

Absolutely 100% correct!

Absolutely 100% incorrect. The FCC's three pronged test of indecency refers to programming of a prurient nature, IOW the toilet and perverted sexual "humor" of your namesake, Bubba the Love Sponge (I now occasionally listen to 98 Rock again, now that he's gone), and myriad other cheap Stern wanna-bes. The test also makes exception for programming of political and social nature, which of course Rush, Savage, Hannity, and Boortz are, and even that buck-toothed moron Franken will be, if the enemy ever manages to get their radio network up and running. I don't think that even Klinton could spin Limbaugh into "appealing to the prurient interests", and if some Florida vote stealing 'Rat lawyer did manage to get that case heard, and some RDDB judge did manage to rule against Rush, well, let's just say it would be time to use the RKBA for what it was intended.

The national government does have a responsibility to enforce decency standards on the public airwaves, whether you agree with it or not. That's why internet and satellite radio are such wonderful developments. If you want to hear Bubba soliciting anal sex on his show, fine...pay to hear it. But not on the public airwaves, where any twit 9-year old skull full of mush can get it on his Walkman at school.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

I'd just like to add that the last time I check, I "paid" for my internet access. If there are those of you who think internet access is publically funded, then that is only true of government institutions like universities that provide such "access". They, in turn, have the ability to regulate what "sites" are acceptable within the grounds of first amendment rights. They are perfectably capable of installing software that prevents access to obsence material like porn sites.

Again, I don't think it would be beneficial to ban Howard Stern through government means, but to hurt his ratings so that his employer loses interest him, that would be GREAT!

Boycott Stern and the George Soros network!

But not on the public airwaves, where any twit 9-year old skull full of mush can get it on his Walkman at school.

Why are we so comfortable with the concept that "the tree of liberty must be watered with blood" periodically, and completely uncomfortable with the idea of a very small percentage of children hearing something of a sexual nature? This is the free speach equivalent.

Why should anyone have the right to force their own sexual repression on me? No, I don't even listen to Stern, the stations here don't carry him. OTOH, I probably would if they did, just to relieve the boredom of the 20 mile traffic jam between home & work.

Have you ever listened to the rap "music" the kids like today. No there is real indecency and obscenity--Howard Stern is mild in comparison. This cr@p comes over the public airwaves every day and the move to ban it is feeble compared to the forces against Stern.
