This is pretty normal for Elliot. You can check out his website at elliotinthemorning.com or dc101.com

I certainly can tell the difference..can you?

There are a lot of comments here on FR about not needing a 'Nanny State'

Abortion is murder. There are no two ways about it.

New legal but tasteless show ideas:
"How did you pull the plug on your grandma?"
"The most graphic ways to shoot a man in wartime"
"Fun ways to kill animals who stray on your property"
"Describe your bondage fantasy with your secretary"

It is interesting to kill 16 babies, instead of horrifying.

A man who in the defense of the US kills 16 men would cause people to call in and demand the jocks head.

Reagan had just signed the bill making MLK day a holiday, and one of the DJ's went on the air and said "why not just kill four more ni**ers, that way we can take the whole week off."

OMG. And you mean to tell me that they didn't yank this sicko off the air then?!

[Paved Paradise]

What next? A contest for the most people a serial killer has cannibalized (ala Dahmer)?

Also, what intelligent person would knowingly listen to someone classified as a "shock jock" with their children in earshot? You couldn't pay me to listen to any of these bozos (Howard Stern, etc.).

[hobbes1]

but i could see a program like this being used to make people aware that there are people out there who are *proud* of killing unborn children. and have done it numerous times.

Thats right. More than offending the sensibilities of a few here, what is exposed is the Client of the Aborition Culture, which is what the political left fears more than anything else....

[OPS4]

16 abortions, are on the soul of this freak. He can literally go to hell, since he has broken the law of God
16 times.

Thou shall not kill, is a commandment, not an option.
Ops4 God Bless America!

It was a different DJ, but they did fire him.

[Ecthelion]

I remember back in the day when Rush performed 'caller abortions'. Everybody flipped.

[adam_az]

How about a contest where the winner gets to suck the brains out of this idiot with a vacuum?

Hm, on 2nd thought, that won't take long enough.

[wardaddy]

shock jock Elliot Segal

Putrid.

Did he write Love Story?

[tfecw]

How about a jump to conclusion contest. What you do is read a biased article that ignores facts, and then you your turn personal opinion into facts. The winner gets a writing position at Newsweek.

[cherry]

my first reaction is that we have a whole slew of freepers who would think this is just funny as hell, and call for freedom of speech , etc etc etc, all the while lambasting the terrible society we have with no values or morals or character.....

we reap what we sow...

everything, I mean EVERYTHING comes down to character and values and morals....

unless we start disassembling the horrid pop culture that is endemic, we are going down the toilet....

[NYer]

I remember back in the day when Rush performed 'caller abortions'.

Yes! I remember those calls and the reactions. Hasn't taken long for society to sink even lower.

[MHGinTN]

"I just don't think Eliot should be taken off the air." Do you think the owners of the stations have a right to 'remove this show' from the airways the owners have right to control? Or are you one of those who believes the owners must be made to comply with minority opinion?

[tob2]

A Howard Stern type?

[adam_az]

"How about a jump to conclusion contest. What you do is read a biased article that ignores facts, and then you your turn personal opinion into facts. The winner gets a writing position at Newsweek."

I made a sarcastic comment the entirety of which implied that the radio host doesn't have much in the way of brains. I think you're reading too much into it.

[Unam Sanctam]

But didn't Howie Dean just say that nobody ever really feels good about having an abortion?

[A Ruckus of Dogs]

Didn't Rush Limbaugh decide to abort his callers once? He'd play a toilet flushing and a scream.

I think the Left started howling, saying it was tasteless and all that.
