They skirt it the way Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh do.

What, exactly, does Limbaugh do that can be compared with Stern or Opie & Anthony?

Annoys people on purpose. Limbaugh annoys humorless liberals, Howard and O&A annoy humorless prudes.

More to your point, if you don't think Rush ever said anything that Wildmon et al would consider "indecent", recall the whole Lewinsky matter.

The fact of the matter is that people have been saying things that others have considered "indecent" since the beginnings of broadcasting, but only in rare and extreme cases do they provoke the kind of response that we see here.

To say that the FCC could go after Limbaugh the way they did O & A is silly. Actually, the fact that they never went after him, or more importantly, any of the other more extreme conservative talk show hosts, during the Clinton administration proves that point.

I've never heard of Limbaugh paying people to BREAK THE LAW. If you have any information to the contrary, please share it with us.
