Gotta ask the question. How far does this need to go before you will go out and fight, not only for O and A, but for broadcasting and society in general. This would not be a silly radio war or stunt type response. It has to be a campaign to make the voice of the majority known. The voice that says no government or group has the power to lobby and influence to make people lose their jobs for saying something that someone won't like.

Since when did the minority become more powerful than the majority? It's because the majority is not as cohesive as this smaller groups representing the majority. Our voice has become silent, while sometimes only one person's complaint dictates what will happen for the rest of us.

This is not a root, but a symptom of what is happening to our society.

Front page here in one of the NY papers. Will this go away?

What would/should we do, preemptively, or after the fact?

The boys need us and we shouldn't be working after the fact. The voice needs to be heard before the fact.

Well if they do get fired (I think won't happen) I will truly have no faith in our goverment at all. We basically lost our right to free speech cause of Al Sharpton and Janet Jackson. I am at the point of saying fuck it to the us government.

Free speech is the greatest liberty we have.

If they get fired, I'm definitely gone. I only bought XM to get their show(from day 1), I only ever listen to that lately as far as XM content goes, so I have no reason to stay if they leave. If they do leave however, what next?

I think it's time they use their resources they've built over the year to break away from radio all together if they get pulled.

They have an established website (even if they can't mention it at times), they have a partner site that is very good with media distribution, and they have a rabid fan base spread over multiple sites. Stream podcasts, charge subscriptions, and make it all O & A all the time. Shouldn't have to worry about censorship on the internet, at least not yet.

66% No on that NBC poll.

A mass sub loss will not solve anything, as any lobby group against O and A can capitalize and use it to their advantage, saying the people want clean radio and want O and A off the air.

Send a short message, send the form message, or stack a short message on top of the form letter saying you will cancel and know several people that will do the same if O and A get censored and shitcanned. They might not lose millions of subs, but they will lose at least six figures worth of subs. That is a number they can't afford.

The problem is that while we might be in the majority, we have no public voice to speak out on all of the news channels when they start the barrage of "O&A are the antichrist" comments.

Letters and complaints mean nothing if the media doesn't pick it up and ram the point home, which they won't without a major public figure backing it up.

I've already emailed everyone, but i'm afraid that unless we find someone who can play the media the way those who are against the boys are we are all fucked.

Sorry if that made no sense, haven't slept all fucking night.

I know its been said before, but dumping subs PREEMPTIVELY will do our cause zero good. Think that through and how it would look for those who want them gone. It will only make a point if there is a massive sub dump AFTER they are fired (not saying they will be, but if that happens).

DON'T DUMP YOUR SUBS until something happens, just tell the suits at XM what will happen for now. That is the best course of action.

I get what you're saying, I really do, but fired is fired. Cancelling subs after the fact will only make us feel better. Would it make a statement....sure, but I really don't see how it could force XM to bring them back once all the papers are torn up.

Again, I'm really not looking to argue and maybe I am wrong but, I'm positive that XM needs a preemptive message sent and I just don't know if e-mails will get the job done....I don't know if it's a strong enough threat to PREVENT their firing. They can not be fired. Period. Once it goes there, it's over.

Not a problem at all, no need to say sorry. The only reason I haven't cancelled yet is because I absolutely agree that we need to stick together and act as a group.

Apologies if this has been suggested before, but shouldn't we start recruiting other radio show fans, those of Don Imus, JV & Elvis, and even god help us, Stern fans. O&A under attack is just a symptom of a much larger problem, that of the well organized minority dictating what is comedy, art, and worthy of us listening to.

Are O&A willing to fight for their job? They layed down and hid today. Didn't they always say, stand up and deal with the situation instead of apologize. An apology didn't work for Imus.

They should have talked about the trouble they are in and defused the situation. Just my opinion.

This one was a little different though. People who are ignorant to the conversation that actually occurred on the radio might interpret the media reports as a threat towards Condi and the queen. This one involves some VERY high ranking people. Not to mention, the vulture faggot cunt fucks in the media will portray what actually was said in the most negative, threatening light as possible.

The apology has already happened. If people continue to attack them then they, wait, not they...WE...need to fight back as much as possible.

Gotta ask the question. How far does this need to go before you will go out and fight, not only for O and A, but for broadcasting and society in general. This would not be a silly radio war or stunt type response. It has to be a campaign to make the voice of the majority known. The voice that says no government or group has the power to lobby and influence to make people lose their jobs for saying something that someone won't like.

Since when did the minority become more powerful than the majority? It's because the majority is not as cohesive as this smaller groups representing the majority. Our voice has become silent, while sometimes only one person's complaint dictates what will happen for the rest of us.

The boys need us and we shouldn't be working after the fact. The voice needs to be heard before the fact.
i am sorry to say but as the great ronnie b stated numerous times when people talk about frreedoms and what we have given up since 9-11 he has it right we better be carefull because we keep giving up rights and before you know it we have given up everything that our past relatives and we have fought for..."ITS A SLIPPERY FUCKEN SLOPE MY FRIEND" RON B.

I get what you're saying, I really do, but fired is fired. Cancelling subs after the fact will only make us feel better. Would it make a statement....sure, but I really don't see how it could force XM to bring them back once all the papers are torn up.

Again, I'm really not looking to argue and maybe I am wrong but, I'm positive that XM needs a preemptive message sent and I just don't know if e-mails will get the job done....I don't know if it's a strong enough threat to PREVENT their firing. They can not be fired. Period. Once it goes there, it's over.

But the fact of the matter is, they are NOT fired (yet:( ) And a preemptive cancellation of subs will give the impression that you are upset with XM for airing such topics. Nobody will know why you cancelled, no matter what you tell whats his name in India. If XM is going to fire them, they will do it regardless of what you or I say or do. The ONLY way to get to them is to dump their shit AFTER they do what we don't want. It will not bring them back if we all cancel our subs, but if however many O&A fans there are out there jump ship they will realize they fucked up and lose a ton of money.

If we were to cancel prior to any action being taken, the only way I can see them interpreting that information is that we are pissed with O&A. Maybe that is wrong, but if we all dump subs now then no one will listen to O&A. They know who listens to what channels, and they will see O&A's numbers go through the shitter and have no recourse but to fire them to save face. If we all listen, and get all the publicity which will let others know they are still up to their old shinannigans their numbers will go through the roof and they can't justify a firing (although they don't need justification).

As we've seen with Iraq, a preemptive strike will blow up in someone's face, and its usually in the face of the preemtive strikers. We don't wanna go looking for WMD's and not find any do we?:action-sm

I do agree that they cannot be fired, but I think it would be counterproductive to jump ship so soon. I'm not trying to argue, and I respect your opinion, I just don't want to hurt the boys with a gesture meant to be helpful.

Peace

I know I don't post alot, but I'm a big fan of the show. The only time my xm is off 202 is if my kids are in the car, and they're playing the xm only side. So no doubt my sub goes if they do. Just to let You know, here in Ohio, this is pretty much a non story. So hopefully that is a positive. Sending my emails now in support of the boys. Diplomacy is the key now. We want to sound intellegent in our support. We can go apeshit on their asses if they don't listen.

I bought XM to get talk shows that are on regular radio, just to see what the hype was about. Years later, the great music and O&A have kept me tuned in.

Today, those talk shows are on regular FM radio on the statewide talk network. The music I can get already through DirecTV. If O&A get canned from XM, I will not hesitate to cancel. They're the only thing right now keeping me subscribed.
