Opie & Anthony: "Voice Of The Common Man?"

The (Columbia, SC) Free Times ^ | 8/28/02 | Michael Graham

[AppyPappy]

Being stupid is one thing. Enticing people to commit crimes is another.

[ChadGore]

Voice of the Common Man ? I'm offended that these 2 kids think so little of their fellow man.

[inkling]

And somehow I’m supposed to think Opie and Anthony are the bad guys?

Is it so difficult to understand that BOTH the listeners and the hosts are "the bad guys?"

[iconoclast]

Opie and Anthony may be stupid, but they’re not dumb. Neither are they “idiots,” “morons” nor “rabid radio retards,” as they’ve been called in print this week. What they are, ladies and gentlemen, are capitalists.

Ah, take that you Libertarians!

[dinasour]

my personal favorite — holding an on-air celebration when a woman who had been publicly critical of their show was stricken with breast cancer. When her illness forced her to have a radical mastectomy, they invited her on the show for a topless, one-breasted photo shoot.

For anyone to defend something like this makes me wonder if Osama bin Laden may be right about us.

[ItisaReligionofPeace]

Then I guess it is safe to say that they give capitalism a bad name.

Under that thought process I guess selling narcotics, aborting baby's, porn, prostitution, and professional hit men are OK in your book because it gets the big buck. Tell us all where you morally draw the line.

Thanks!

P.S. I have a few good ideas but, I was always afraid of what my family and nieghbors would think of me if I tries to make a buck off of them. Please help me.

Makes me glad to be a particle.

Question: If I badmouth the human race, is that racism?

[Paul Atreides]

They are "common", alright! Just not in the good sense.

[dinasour]

They are "common", alright! Just not in the good sense.

Yes, but you confuse "people who are without class" with "common" people. They are not the same.

[Paul Atreides]

Oh, I'm not confused about the term "common." That's why I said they are not common in the good sense of the word.

Take what?  He's right.

[iconoclast]

I was making the same point, you dunce!

I'm a conservative .... NOT a Libertarian!

[iconoclast]

It least you got my point.

But I presume you are just another amoral Libertarian, yes?

[gcruse]

A small 'l' libertarian, which means in my case I disagree about open borders, but not much else.

[dinasour]

Oh, I'm not confused about the term "common." That's why I said they are not common in the good sense of the word.

Agreed.

[iconoclast]

Clarification! You are FOR .... or AGAINST open borders?

[pttttt]

What if this had been set up to happen in a mosque?

[gcruse]

The Libertarian party, I thought, was in favor of open borders. I am most assuredly not. If I am in error about the party position, then I am a capital L.
