Stern took a 180 degree turn from his support of Bush's war on terrorism when he revealed that he had read Al Franken's latest book over this last Christmas vacation period. He bought into every "lie" that Al Franken wrote, and spread that misinformation as if it was his own. He even badgered one of his E! directors, Scott De Pace, to read the book because Scott was one of the few in Stern's den of inequity who would vocally support Bush and the Republican party.

This was obviously at least a month before Justin Timberlake exposed Janet Jackson's right breast to an unsuspecting Super Bowl XXXVIII audience.

His latest over-reaction to the FCC and the Bush administration has been in the works for longer than I suspect, and when he revealed that another supporter of Bush on his show, "Crazy Cabbie", had turn on Bush due to the false reports that families who lost loved ones during 9/11 were upset that Bush used images from 9/11 to begin his campaign commercials, Stern lost his mind. Stern even suggested that John Kerry or the Democrat Party use a voice over Bush's own commercial to tell the public that Bush was using a "painful" memory for political gains. This was apparently the "same" Stern that once said Americans should be reminded every day what the terrorists had done to the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

So, even if Stern has a "right" to express his opposition to a political administration, "we" should have a right to oppose that view and question the person behind the opposition. Stern gave nothing to challenge his "latest" political opinion when he became so anti-Bush these past few months that I finally came to my senses and chose NOT to listen to a repeat of lies spread by the likes of Al Franken and George Soros. I can only imagine how pissed off liberals were listening to Stern support Bush's war on terrorism in days past, because like vintage Stern, he gives little say to opposing views.

I'm fed up with Stern, and I am finding that we've got a lot more sensible radio personalities out there who actually work within the bounds of decency.

Boycott Stern!

You should check out the article link below. A Daily News columnist wrote a column Monday telling Stern to quit whining and start entertaining againt. Needless to say, Howard ripped the guy to shreds, and his fans wrote a ton of letters to the writer. But the surprising thing is how many people wrote in and said that they're sick of hearing Stern bash Bush every day. Anyhow, you should check out the followup article about this:
