Hard to say. The libertarian party ran him, briefly, for governor of New York back in the 1990s, but that was a total PR stunt. I've been listening to him now for nearly 20 years, and I'd describe him as a Reagan Democrat who votes for the GOP only when the GOP runs someone who'd probably get lambasted as a RINO around these parts. He was solidly against GWB and for Gore/Kerry, he was for Hillary Clinton until she lost the nod, and then he got behind Obama.
He's big on individual rights, but he's also big on the government taking action to solve problems. He's very pro-cop, pro-blue collar guy . . . anti-Bible thumper, anti-"Moral Majority"-type people.
He's a libertine on the radio, yes, but in private life, he's very, very different.
I lost interest in Howard after he and Allison got divorced....up to that point, I thought, sure he’s just being outrageous for entertainment purposes, while in his real life he was a normal family man, but that went away after the divorce.
Let me guess. After 20-year's exposure, absolutely NONE of Howard's obscenities filtered their way into your impervious, conservative skull.....somewhat similar, I would imagine, to Obama's complete resistance to the 20-year rants of Reverend Wright. My mind reels with sarcastic comment.
Carry on as if you were normal.
