...the beginning of a return to some semblence of decency in America.

The return of the League of Decency. A government shutting down speech and some Americans cheer. Some people don't understand what they might be giving up until they lose it.

Imagine the following scenario:

Kerry wins the next election, changes the personnel of the FCC and they start putting pressure on Rush's bosses to get him off the air. You'd howl like a stuck pig.

Comparing rush Limbaugh and howard stern is comparing apples and oranges. But you are correct, people would be up in arms because while much of Stern's material has been raunchy offensive and some 'obscene', you could not say the same thing about Limbaugh.

"The return of the League of Decency. A government shutting down speech and some Americans cheer. Some people don't understand what they might be giving up until they lose it."

This has nothing to do with the government or censorship by the government.

This was a decision by a company not to have Stern on their station any more.
If the government starts telling companies who they can or can not keep on their stations, THEN WE HAVE A PROBLEM !
