Howard...stop your whining! The people of America are exercising the same 1st amendment freedom of speech rights that you claim are being trampled on. Your show has gone down the toilet and people are sick of you. This is not about Bush or the Republican party...this is about YOU!

BUMP

IMHO his show was never cutting edge. Garbage and trash like his have always been able to sneak into the spotlight only to be eventually squashed and replaced by another potty mouth de jour.

Could Howard Stern Topple Bush?
Do you really think that his listeners can put down their crack pipes, bongs and Johnson's long enough to find a voting booth?

States where people vote based on Howard Stern's endorsement are not states that Bush is going to win anyway.

[Mich0127]

LOL...good point

[Mike Bates]

I doubt if many Stern fans can find their way to the polling place on Election Day.

I honestly think that the people who hate Bush won't vote for him anyway, and Stern is not going to persuade too many people

Stern would only have influence in a close NY or NJ race. If NY or NJ is close -- Kerry is already toast.

[Servant of the 9]

He has been a liberal, a libertarian and a conservative.
Who knows what he will think or say by November.

Freepers go to Google and find a good GOP site for bumper stickers - order 25 - pass them out or take them to your local Republican Hq. and let them pass them out. This is one way we can get the word out that we support President Bush etc. and it is one way to contribute. It is the best advertising there is. Thanks & adios to Howard S. and the rest.

Stern is a major player with the Consolidated Peep Show Mopboys Union.

He may be able to sway a lot of votes toward some Dem jerk off.

[TommyDale]

Oh, please! What an ego! Stern actually thinks people like him?

[Mich0127]

Exactly...doesn't watching two lesbians getting it on and anal midget ring tossing get boring after a while?

whiney spoiled potty mouth has-been baby

 "They're not just 18-year-old, beer-drinking yahoos. They're 20- and 30- and 40-something professionals. They're mainstream American citizens who are well-educated and affluent and socially active and politically interested, though not politically active. But they're being motivated. Wouldn't that be amazing if millions of people vote who otherwise wouldn't, because of this issue?"

 

Ah, but there's the rub.  EVEN with apathetic drag nets like Motor Voter, most of these yahoos won't:

1. Realize it's election day.
2. Know if they're registered.
3. Know what (if anything) they're required to bring to the polling place.
4. Know WHERE the correct polling place is.
5. Be motivated enough to make a special trip to do something they've never done before.

If Stern's listeners are who Harrison says, he's liable to loose 20-25% of his audience with all his Bush bashing.

Yes it would be AMAZING if millions of people vote who otherwise wouldn't, don't bet on it.

he couldn't topple his mother for crying out loud. Who the hell thinks he could topple Bush?

[clintonh8r]

Does anybody of voting age even listen to him?

[bmwcyle]

Can Howard overcome the memory of the twin towers falling? I don't think so.
