Where's Reverend Al on Opie and Anthony?
Bob Parks: Black & Right ^ | 5/10/07 | Bob Parks

Okay, it's been a few hours since the Drudge Report linked to audio by "shock jocks" Opie and Anthony's "XM Outrage." The audio is described as...

Warning: Extremely Vulgar Language. Shock Jocks Opie and Anthony engage in discussion about forced sex with the Secretary of State. A studio guest begins describing the scenario as the hosts laugh and encourage him. Anthony talks about the horror for Rice as the guest is "holding her down" and assaulting her.
Don Imus was canned at MSNBC because he and his on-air staff called the Rutgers Women's Basketball team members "nappy headed hos" among other things. The Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson lead boycotts, met with NBC execs, and eventually had Imus fired for racially insensitive remarks.

opieanthony.jpgI respect the free speech, however vile, of fellow Americans and don't believe Imus should have been let go. I wouldn't want to see Opie and Anthony fired as saying outrageous things is what shock jocks are paid to do. You want something a little lighter, listen to a church channel.

Well a homeless guy said it. What do you expect? Nothing was said in seriousness and if Condi was assaulted opie and anthony wouldn’t be cheering it on.

But advocating Sharpton goes after them means you’re giving Sharpton clout. That’s helps the hustler.

Do you mean that since payment is involved a person should be able to view a film of a child being raped because a ticket was purchased?

Believe it or not my sources were neither... I was so terribly wrong though. I’ve got a friend that owns a radio station and he apparently was trying to syndicate something I don’t know what from CBS radio. The guy he was talking too joked that if he wanted O and A they were probably not going to be around very long after that incident. I will cross my buddy off a reliable source list, that’s for sure.

Heh, you see the news today? XM suspended them for 30 days. Probably fire them next week as that's the modus operandi.
