I am totally shocked by the posts on this thread. Don't people on Free Republic support Free Speech. No one is forced to listen to Howard.

This is government infringing on Free Speech. Clear Channel removed him due to pressure and fines from the FCC. The FCC is run by 90 year old men with no sense of humor or respect for the Constitution. The only thing the FCC should be doing is making sure one station doesn't broadcast into some other stations range. They are now the arbitors of decency?

I am seeing Freepers applaud this action like idiots. That is the hypocrisy of the retarded right. We want less government....except when it comes to stuff we don't like. They want the government to pass laws against gays, stop Howard Stern and please oh please save us from naked people! We can't handle it....what a crock or crap.

Maybe some posters on this thread need to read the Constitution again. I am disgusted by the posts here today.

And the above is a mantra of an elitist Liberal/Libertarian.

Hey no one is stopping you from kissing Howards behind.

many here don't give a damn about free speech, they're too busy fighting the culture war. If you're on the wrong side you don't have any rights. We only like the bill of rights if we're talking about the second amendment, donchano! And of course if you bring it up, you're a liberal troll.

Agreed. Again, it seems that these folks are just too lazy to parent control technology to blog the "public" stations they hate.

BS! If Howard Stern wants to be heard, then let him invest all the money he earned acting like an arrested-development a##hole in his own broadcasting network.

He can talk all he wants, nobody is stopping him. Having the right to speak does not equal the right to be heard.

I find it amusing that he's perfectly willing to take risks and push the envelope on SOMEONE ELSE'S DIME! If he thinks it's so important to the Republic that he be heard, let him risk his own dough.

The "retarded right"? You live in San Francisco, don't you?

You are so right. Since yesterday morning, listening to Howard and the seriousness of the situation, I'm thinking of switching from Republican to Independent. Morally, I don't want to be associated with this Republican party, and that's after 30 years of Republican voting. They have the Presidency, the House and the Senate...and what we do we get? Campaign Finance Reform and now the attack on Free Speech for the "sake of the children." Savage is right when he calls them Democans.

There are probably four people on this thread who actually care about free speech. The others want to force their morals upon you.
