Sirius Satellite Radio host Howard Stern supports the merger of his network with XM Satelitte Radio and is fuming at Democratic opposition on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) panel.
After FCC commissioners announced they have reached a deal to approve the merger of Sirius (NASDAQ:SIRI) and XM (NASDAQ:XMSR), Stern ranted about Democrats’ ‘gangsterism’ and ‘communism’ and the obstacles to the merger.
Stern described a phone conversation he had with his agent, who he described as a “liberal Democrat kind of guy.”
“I go, ‘That’s it!’” Stern said. “[I] go, ‘You know what Don, I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat. I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don’t give a [expletive] – no matter who they are. I don’t care if God becomes a Democrat.’ I said, ‘I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry. I am done with them.’”
Stern took it a step even further and called Democrats on the FCC “communists” and referred to their tactics as “gangsterism.”
“The fact that these Democrats on the FCC are communists,” Stern said. “They’re for communism. They don’t want to see companies – this is gangsterism. I said, ‘This is crazy.’”

Yay, I guess?
Welcome aboard Howie. My only question is, "What took you so long?"
Glad to see it come back to bite him in the a**.
What a has been
Sometimes even a broken clock is right. Stern called it right. Democrats are Nazis or Communists...both terms correctly describe their ideology.
Oh great. Howard Stern is on my side. That’s just effin great.
Howard must be mellowing.. he is being kind in his choice of words.
A lib gets hit in the wallet. He finally feels the pain and see the light.
ha that is the transformation a lot of people go through when reality sets in and it starts to hurt their pocketbook
Wait until he sees what Obama and his Congress has in mind for all of Howard’s millions.

We are only months away from Communism greatest coup since the Russian Revolution and Mao’s victory in China.
I see OJ....Bababooey, ya’ll!
I never liked Stern, but I wont bad mouth him as much now.
Don’t worry Howard you’ll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.
We are only months away from Communism greatest coup since the Russian Revolution and Mao’s victory in China.
Well, that should help seal up the ‘makes fun of midgets and the mentally ill’ demographic.
Don’t worry Howard you’ll be first up against the wall when the revolution comes.
called Democrats on the FCC “communists
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Democrats are communists! It can’t be said often enough.
that’s funny!
he didn’t notice until they took him off the air.
He supported Al D'Amato, Christie Whitman, Rudy Guiliani, George Pataki, Grandpa Al Lewis, Hillary Clinton, himself for governor as a libertarian, Al Gore, John Kerry...
It's all about the benjamins.
He did support Christie Whitman.
...and Howard Stern is my belweather? The guy who humiliates women on his show in breathtaking ways and takes great delight in being as offensive as possible on every topic? Thanks, I’ll pass.
Colonel, USAFR
Democrats are full of love and kumbaya for socialism and their socialist masters - until it affects them personally.
Communism/fascism/collectivism are great to libertine leftists,
as long as it isn’t THEIR freedom or THEIR property that is being compromised to the collective.
Howard is like 55ish he should have come to his senses after/during Carter.
His ox was gored.
Hmmm. Another liberal that got mugged, I see. Maybe he’ll join Mancow and a scant few others in the broadcast biz to wake up the kiddies of the world to Barack “Ich Bin Ein Empty Suit” Obamination and his TRUE agenda.
Bill Clinton on Howard Stern
HOWARD: (Pfffft)…Two-twelve!…Get the mike by his butt, Baba Booey, you idiot…(braaaap)…Two-thirteen!…(fwwaaarp)….Two-fourteen!…Time! Two hundred and fourteen farts in two minutes. That’s great.
JACKIE: Twelve short of the record, though.
ROBIN: Not bad, but not good enough.
HOWARD: Yeah, nice try, Mike “King of All Flatulence,” but you’re still a loser. Gary, give him a “Dial-A-Mattress” or something for trying. Now get out of here! I have a real guest coming in. Robin, does this shirt look good? This is definitely going to be on the CBS Show, and I want to look handsome.
JACKIE: Ya gotta long way to go.
HOWARD: Shut the hell up, you fat bastard! Don’t try to sabotage me on this very important day. The former president of the United States is going to sit in with us for the news. Hey Robin, try to be your sexiest today - you know the President is single these days. Tell him about the three inputs.
ROBIN: Shut up, Howard, here he comes.
HOWARD: Fred, turn on the presidential music, you Martian! Mr. President, sit over here! Where are you going?
JACKIE: Oh! Not on my mike!!
(Phwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaappppp!!)
HOWARD: Mr. President!! Get on the microphone. That was great!! Robin, the president just farted on my show!
CLINTON: I’ve been holding that one in for ten minutes in the green room! Nearly busted my gut. How ya doin’ Howard? I’m thrilled to be here.
HOWARD: We’re thrilled to have you here. You’re the first ex-president we’ve ever had on our show. And probably the last. What are you doing slumming on this show?
CLINTON: Well, Howard, I’m not running for political office ever again. I’ve decided that I can finally just act like myself now. Your show seemed like the best place to start. I’ve spent my whole life living a lie so I could get elected. Now, it’s just me, Bubba.
ROBIN: Are you admitting that you were less than honest with the American people, just to get a few extra votes?
CLINTON: C'mon Robin, are you naïve? I would have sucked Janet Reno’s dick to get a few extra votes!
HOWARD: Mr. President! I was too slow with the beep. You can’t talk like that on the air, the FCC will crucify me! Hey, why didn’t you get the FCC off my back before you left office?
CLINTON: I meant to Howard. I had all these last minute things that I was going to do in my final months. But with all those indictments breaking up my inner circle, I had to resign a little early. That way I could get Al to pardon me before they throw him out, too. Sorry, but I don’t think George Junior’s gonna do anything with the FCC for you.
HOWARD: I’m screwed again, Robin.
ROBIN: We never get any breaks. I’m amazed that the president’s being so honest with us today. Are you open to talking about everything, Mr. President?
CLINTON: Call me Bill. Yeah, everything's on the table. Ask away.
ROBIN: Well Bill, there are those who believe that you had people murdered to get and hold onto your power. Did you have anything to do with the death of Vince Foster?
CLINTON: No comment on that one.
ROBIN: What about Jim McDougal?
CLINTON: No comment there, either.
ROBIN: Those kids in the Starbucks coffee shop?
CLINTON: Actually, Robin, I really didn’t have anything to do with that one. It just worked out well for me on its own.
ROBIN: What about Ron Brown?
CLINTON: No comment.
HOWARD: Robin, this is my show. That stuff’s boring, let’s ask the important questions. Mr. President, which way does your penis bend?
CLINTON: To the left. You wanna see it?
HOWARD: Of course! Jackie, Fred, Robin, we’re gonna see the Presidential penis! Ooooh hoooo, Saturday Night Live doesn’t have a chance this week!!
CLINTON: You’re not gonna sue me now are you? I don’t want to go through that again!
HOWARD: Of course not. Ahh! There it is!! The presidential penis! Oh, the stories it could tell.
ROBIN: It’s not very big, though.
CLINTON: Come here, my little chocolate cupcake. It’s big enough - if you know what you’re doing. I’m still a legend in Arkansas.
ROBIN: Well it didn’t keep Hillary around once you left office.
CLINTON: Yeah, well it wasn’t enough like a vagina, if you know what I mean.
HOWARD: Are you saying what I think you’re saying?
CLINTON: I’m not saying anything about that. She’s the one with the FBI files. She knows where the bodies are buried…so to speak…hehe… I gotta be more careful. Let me put this thing away.
ROBIN: Well, were you ever intimidated by her legendary intelligence?
CLINTON: Are you on crack?! She spouts nothing but liberal platitudes and pabulum. Just once, I wish that cow had a thought as deep as her footprints!
HOWARD: Ouch. So you guys weren’t sleeping together then, were you?
CLINTON: Did you see those cankles on her? Please, I wouldn’t bang her with your dick.
ROBIN: What are cankles?
CLINTON: Robin, how can you not know that? You’re a newswoman, for godssake. When a woman’s calves and ankles are so fat that they just become one thick mass, she’s got cankles.
JACKIE: That’s as old as the hills Robin, where've you been?
HOWARD: Shut up, Jackie, the president doesn’t want to hear from you. Anyway Robin, let’s start the news while the president’s still here.
ROBIN: Well let’s start with Kosovo. The AP wire is reporting that 60,000 NATO troops are still hunkered down in Pec, absorbing heavy casualties. A 90,000 man reinforcement force is bogged down in Prizen, apparently hemmed in by a small band of Serbian irregulars armed with chemical weapons supplied by Russia.
CLINTON: Well, let me just say that my prayers go out to those soldiers. The blood they spill will eventually make the world a better place for all our children. For this, I, and the whole country, are eternally grateful.
HOWARD: Wow! That was so cool. You really sounded sincere.
CLINTON: Thanks, its a gift. I can turn it on and off anytime I want. Wanna see me cry? Time me.
HOWARD: OK…one mississippi…two mississippi…there it is! Two mississippi and your tears are on your cheek. I had to use onions to cry in my movie. What else is in the news Robin?
ROBIN: Well the fighting between Greece and Turkey has intensified since last week’s assassination of Greek Premier Costas Simitis. Turkish forces have established a beach head on Greece’s west coast, but Greece is threatening to use biological weapons to drive them back into the sea. Meanwhile, Bulgaria has used the escalation of the Balkan War as a pretext to annex Macedonia. The Macedonian resistance has released data on their tactical nuclear arsenal, in an attempt to intimidate the Bulgarians into leaving.
CLINTON: Oops. Thank god for term limits!! Junior’s sure got his hands full.
HOWARD: Enough Balkan stuff. What about that rape? Did you do it?
CLINTON: My lawyer has advised me to continue to deny it, unless she shows up with some evidence. So, no, I did not rape that woman.
HOWARD: Besides, you wouldn't have raped her if she had just said "Yes".
CLINTON: Of course not, but she...Hey! Cut that out. I did not rape that woman...ya think anyone’s buying it?
HOWARD: Nah, what about Paula Jones? You did show her your penis, didn’t you?
CLINTON: Of course. She’s got her money, now, so what the hell, I’ll admit it. I was just looking for a little strange.
HOWARD: What’s the big deal? You were governor. She should have done it for the good of her state. And Willey coulda put out, too. It’s supposed to be an honor when the president hits on you.
CLINTON: That’s exactly right. Willey was a big crybaby. I gave her boobs a little squeeze, is all. Big deal.
ROBIN: On the domestic front, the Senate hearing on Chinese espionage have determined beyond the shadow of a doubt that Chinese military money was given to Democratic Party in exchange for nuclear weapons technology.
CLINTON: I'd do it again, if I had to. I might have lost the election otherwise!
ROBIN: Well, the Republicans in the Senate, in the interest of maintaining an appearance of bipartisanship, have offered up a proposal for consideration. Their bill proposes that the two parties divvy up the country's remaining nuclear secrets, and then each would be free to sell their share to the highest bidder.
CLINTON: Hey do you guys want to go to Scores this afternoon? I am definitely in the mood for some strippers.
HOWARD: Absolutely! Baba Booey, you idiot, call Lonnie and tell him we're having a presidential party this afternoon.
CLINTON: Hey, you got any bucks I can borrow?
HOWARD: Don't worry, Lonnie will give us tons of funny money and the drinks are free.
CLINTON: Man, I chose the wrong line of work.
HOWARD: What's the matter, are you short of money?
CLINTON: Nah, I just got cash flow problems. I converted all my Chinese money into gold bricks, and deposited the stuff I siphoned off the defense budget overseas. It's a little tough to get at quickly. It's billions, though.
BABA BOOEY: Howard, the president's people say he has to get going now.
HOWARD: Where are you going in such a hurry?
CLINTON: I gotta go do Regis and Kathie Lee next.
HOWARD: Are you gonna bang Kathie Lee?
CLINTON: I’m sure gonna try. Frank’s a wrinkled old prune. I’m sure that little wench needs a good bang.
HOWARD: Of course she does, she’s a frustrated firecracker. So we'll see you at Scores later today.
CLINTON: Wouldn't miss it! Kathie Lee's probably a long shot.
HOWARD: Don't be so sure, Mr. President. You have to come back, I have so much more to ask you. Hey! Did you ever do Eleanor Mondale and Markie Post?
CLINTON: I gotta run, Howard.
JACKIE: That's a yes!!
THE END
Did I say that?
No.
It was posted as an interesting topic with no opinion from me whatsoever.
Even the blind pig occasionally finds the acorn...
I distinctly recall him saying that the images of the Twin Towers being hit and coming down should be broadcast at the end of the news every night by every network, so important was the need to remind the people of what they were up against.
Then suddenly, on his return from vacation in the months before the '04 election, he became a rabid Democrat suffering a serious case of BDS. He was vile. He was often apoplectic. He spouted lie, after lie, after lie. He was a totally different person.
I asked a friend who is connected to some conservative media types what happened and he explained to me that Al Franken had gotten to him while vacationing in the Virgin Islands or some such place and convinced him of the "truth" of the Bush administration. That's probably just conjecture on someone's part. Who knows?
I didn't follow him to satellite and I still don't plan to. However, I'm curious if his "conversion" is genuine.
Oh, and "baba-booey" to y'all."
This is the sign of a shallow selfish person. A specific ruling hurts him so he changes sides again. He cares Nothing about the countries policies as a whole.....which is a true patriot.
Howard ran out of Vaseline ... getting continually screwed by the democrats at your back starts to hurt don’tchaknow.
I agree. I wouldn’t bank or anything Stern says or does. His only talent is in making himself fabulously wealthy while making toilet noises, oogling lesbians, and embarrasing his guests. Great work if you can get it.
He claimed he hated the GOP because they voted for the Decency in Media act. He completely ignored the fact that 99 Senators, including John Kerry voted for it. It didn't matter, because Al Franken set him straight. His politics have always been as maleable as Silly Putty, still are.
Whoever gave Howard that Al Franken book ruined him as surely as the jerk who gave Bruce Springsteen the John Steinbeck books and Woodie Guthrie albums.
Maybe Franken did plant the seeds of insanity in his head.
That was the reason he supposedly went into satellite radio. To avoid being fined by the FCC. A lot of good it did him. He was the hottest thing going and now he's virtually invisible.
And fafa-fooey right back at you.
Isn’t it funny, throughout history you see the people who support a regime, get it into power and follow along behind eating the table scraps are almost always the first to “figure it out” and be put against the wall and shot????
Those who do not learn from history are condemned to repeat it, perhaps Stern will not so be quick in the future to disrespect others without understanding what it is like to be in their shoes.
Now we know why the left will do everything it can to kick Stern off the air.
I don't go to church, and I don't care to be preached to. I'm an agnostic. Conversely, I like religious people because they tend to be more sunny and cheery. Atheists just seem to always be bitter. I'd rather live next door to Ned Flanders than Michael Newdow.
I don't get offended when I see a nativity scene. I get offended when someone demands one be taken down. I don't get offended when people bring up God and Jesus, I get offended when someone tells them they can't. I don't get offended by “In God We Trust”, in fact I'd like to have a lot more of those little pieces of paper with “In God We Trust” in my wallet. I don't care about gay marriage, but I'm pretty damn pissed about how it came to be.
I own a weapon and am prepared to use it to defend my person and property. I like sex and want to have it as much as possible, but I sure as hell don't want schools making the decision of when my kids should be exposed to it, or usurping my right as a parent by handing out condoms and pills.
I'm not politically correct. I will continue to say “black hole” and “red hots” and “yellow fever” and “Canadian Bacon”. Don't take offense at my words when you know full well I didn't intend to offend you. When I DO intend to offend you, you'll know it.
I don't like war, but I HATE losing one. I refuse to accept that defending the border is a racist position. I resent the position that it's my responsibility to support financially, people who are breaking the law by their mere presence, and I reject the position that it makes me a bad person. I am a member of the Republican party, because I have the ability to reason. The alternative is unacceptable. I'll deal with differences in my own party ONLY AFTER I've defeated the opposition.
Even the happy ones.
Sorry - mine was a rhetorical response. No offense intended.
I have wondered for some time why, considering the similarities in their political beliefs; Democrats aren’t referred to as Communists more often...
Note to Howard: You don’t like democrats. Big deal. So vote for Nader, and stay away from us. There are children here.
