[SaltyDelights]

Saturday's Daily News article about O&A, which isn't online yet. Read the last paragraph.

Great, the nappy headed ****** is going to get involved. Everyone ready for a race war?

[irishloon]

Let him call for whatever he wants, my guess is that he's lost alot of credibility after the Imus escapade.

It'll have some legs, but ultimately I think they'll be safe (at least on the XM side). If done right, and if ORGANIZED right, a counter-protest to the CBS side could also be effective. But CBS and the advertisers would have to determine that the loss of business from our side would be greater than that of Sharpton's brigade. As of right now, Sharpton's side is more organized.

[iSpeakEloquent]

i can't believe 3 people had to contribute to a 6 paragraph article

[Sobes]

Al Sharpton is such a fucking pig. Under what grounds does he have any business getting involved in this. What is he going to do, protect Condeleeza Rice? I'm sure she's heard plenty of terrible things said about her given the current situation of this administration.

Here is a link to a great article written by a journalist who still cares about the first amendment (one of the few). Check it out.

Rev. Al (shakes head)...Did anyone hear John Gibson Fri evening? Other than saying how they should be fired because HE was worried that regulators would be watching over him and he would have to worry about what to say. He was trying to make this about race. Forgive me, but isn't Homeless Charlie black and didn't the comment include laura bush, hmm, white woman. Even Rev. Al didn't go crazy right away as usuall because the comment was not racially targeted. It was sexist and lude or whatever, not racial.

They made the headline http://nydailynews.com. I think the articlke mentioned a poll, havent looked for it yet.

Good point. Now, more than ever, CBS needs to be told that the show's listeners will actively support the sponsors. In the end, Imus was let go because Sharpton was able to influence the sponsors and that's when CBS caved. CBS and all sponsors of O&A need to understand that Sharpton's lynch mob is not going to effect the sponsors - neither Sharpton nor anyone he can assemble in the street can name one of the shows sponsors.

[CTDennis85]

Just when you thought cause a black guy said it they'd be safe.....


Reverand Al has no problem twisting this to criticize Opie and Anthony for "manipulating" a "poor homeless black man" by "bribing him to make lude comments in anticipation of a meal and some cash".....

Once again blaming the white man... even though it was the black man.... that Al would not even care about if it wouldn't get him some publicity...

The only reason this is being talked over with his crime syndicate is that he's mulling over stepping into something that makes him step over political party lines and if it'd hurt him to defend a black republican who his "supporters" would probably say is a nappy headed sell out hoe.....

Ahhh.... i hope he dies....

[irishloon]

They are in deeper shit with XM than FM right now.

Right now. But in the end, XM still generates more income from subscribers than from sponsors, so ultimately the threat of losing all of us will keep the boys safe, IMHO.

If this was 2 years from now, when Satellite Radio is inundated with commercials the way Cable TV is now, then it would be a different story.

Sharpton has his own problems right now. His little slip about Mormons the other night is a MUCH bigger national story than O&A.

Besides which, Homeless Charlie is a black guy. How is Sharpton going to spin that one? O&A made him say it?

No, I think he and "Hymee Town" Jesse are going to sit this one out.

Right on. These guys know the show and did their research. Everyone else is just spewing garbage based on partial knowledge.

[brancle1177]

This is just F'n great. A black man ( who happens to be homeless) says something on a radio show about wanting to have sex with 3 women ( all of whom are well known, and one of which is black) and 2 radio personalities ( both of which are white) in danger of losing their careers because they laughed about it???????? Is society at the point where we can't laugh anymore?? It's comedy people, if you don't like it, change the channel. If this does end O and A on XM, than Xm can go screw. I'll cancel my sub, and throw my Helix in the garbage. O and A are THE ONLY REASON I HAVE XM, if they are gone, I'll just use my Ipod for music and listen to O and A on pod cast if thats where they end up. RADIO DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NICE!!!!!

After the Romney debacle, Al Sharpton needs something to get some good press coming his way. What better way than to paint O&A as racist/sexist [white] pigs reveling in the joy of having the [black] secretary of state anally assaulted by a homeless gentleman?

Cast in the proper light, he'll look like a hero to his base, not unlike he tried to do with Imus.

edit: And it's over at that point. What's O&A's defense: "We've said much worse things in the past."

[BravoSierra]

Hopefully Sharpton's political career ends like R. Budd Dwyer. Pack your lunch schwoogie.

painfully true. cbs is done for, forget it. we need to hold the line at xm. cbs is a lost cause

maybe it is time to contact the sponsors. thats truly the only way to fight back. sharpton goes after the sponsors, so should we- by simply stating, we use their product, hear it advertised on XM. if they pull their support for the show so do we.

thats the only ttype org that can help us. others might be interested in this as well

[CTDennis85]

the Advertisers are more important on the CBS side.....


XM is supported by the people who buy the service.....


So the threat of advertisers applies specifically to the FM half....

How do you figure that? Sharpton won during the Imus escapade.

[Audi Mike]

if theres no merger theres always kissing hoo hoos ass:icon_sad:

[danny666]

The fact is Homeless Charlie talked about Rev Al too in the O and A interview. Homeless Charlie brought up that Rev Al didn't help him when he was evcited by his Jew landlord. Homeless Charlie said that Rev Al only helps people with money, I'm sure Rev Al wouldn't want that known, since Charlie is supposed to be someone he fights for.

The next step if this thing progresses is that the whole Homeless Charlie interview should be released on the offiical site. It was a funny interview. At least people will see some humor in this segment. The f'ing press is making it seem like O and A are just saying 'it would be great if Condi Rice and Laura Bush were *****'. I'm sure most Americans wouldn't give a shit, but the worst thing is that it's not funny. So releasing more of the interview will at least spread the virus.

Again the best scenario is just keeping everything low key and hope it will go away. If that doesn't work it would be time to release the whole interview and have Homeless Charlie make public appearances with O and A to the press. Maybe do a walkover with Charlie. Have more the focus on this insane, but funny bum.

[Hudson]

Three people wrote it...yet they say the the full name of Opie and Anthony is Anthony Cumia?
Journalism at it's finest.

[irishloon]

How do you figure that? Sharpton won during the Imus escapade.
He won the Imus battle, but now he's under SHARP criticism for everything else has now says, and has said in the past. As every day goes by, all you see is negative Sharpton press.

He won the battle, but he's starting to lose the PR war.

That's how I figure that.

[iSpeakEloquent]

how come rev al doesn't mention the part where the charlie said he called the rev and he wouldn't help him out (even though im sure he didn't really but they don't get sarcasm at all anyway)

[mendozathejew]

sharpton will need a new rallying cry. his argument against imus he insisted wasnt about Imus, whether or not Imus is a racist or a bad person. It was, he said, about accountability and decency on the public airwaves.

well this wasnt aired on the public airways.

[PorchMonkey4Life]

Well... this is kinda good news... XM and CBS said they will be on the air on Monday...

I just hope Sharpton doesnt get involved and this all dies down... who the hell knows though...

'Opie' shows will live to nauseate again

BY DAVID HINCKLEY and RICH SCHAPIRO
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

Posted Saturday, May 12th 2007, 4:00 AM

Shock jocks Opie and Anthony appear to have weathered the storm.

Two days after the foul-mouthed radio hosts reveled in a homeless guest's musings on ****** Condoleezza Rice, Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth, officials from both CBS Radio and XM Satellite Radio said the controversial pair will be on the air Monday.

The announcement came after the bad-boy deejays held unusually tame shows on WFNY (92.3 FM) and then later on XM, during which they apologized a second time for the outrageous bit.

"We're taking what happened very, very seriously," a resigned Opie (aka Gregg Hughes) said.

The brouhaha erupted on Wednesday when a guest the shock jocks call "Homeless Charlie" said on their satellite radio show that he'd "love to f--- that b----" after each of the prominent women's names was brought up.

The crude proclamation drew laughter from Opie and Anthony, whose full name is Anthony Cumia, as they ruminated on the "the horror" Rice would feel as she was held down and assaulted by a homeless man.

Officials from CBS Radio and XM yesterday declined to say if any penalties would be imposed against the pair or if they would rein in their show.

Media expert Robert Thompson, a professor at Syracuse University, said the controversy illustrates the delicate balancing act shock jocks must maintain.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, who called the stunt "ugly and outrageous," said he would meet with his associates today to discuss whether they'll call for Opie and Anthony's firing.

[PorchMonkey4Life]

no wonder it didnt show up when i searched... he scanned it in and used a different title...

[bushleaguer]

I wouldn't worry too much about Sharpton. He is mired in his own controversy right now over what he said about Mormons in a debate with Christopher Hitchens.
Taking on O&A would been seen as deflecting from his own problems, so at the present moment his credibility is very low if not non-existant.

[Radioguy]

So, you're saying you were too lazy to scan it? ;)

[THE FEZ MAN]

Great, the nappy headed ****** is going to get involved. Everyone ready for a race war?

more than you know, besided al is a fucking coward and oppertunest he wont say shit about this. if he does he would be makeing a mistake, the boys can defend themselves

[Monster_Rain893]

how the fuck can you get fired for having some homeless dude say he's had **** fantasies about that dumb bitch Condi. Leave it to a fucking homeless guy to ruin a career, go fucking figure.

"I see no need to defend Condoleeza Rice. She is a big girl and a powerful public political figure; she can defend herself. The so-called nappy headed hoes at Rutgers were defenseless private citizens who needed someone like me to be their advocate in the aftermath of the racist onslaught directed at them by Mr. Imus" _Al Sharpton

Whew...looks like the bbboys are gonna survive this shitstorm.

[Its A Hemi]

"I will not defend Condoleeza Rice. She is a big girl and a powerful public political figure; she can defend herself. The so-called nappy head hoes at Rutgers were defenseless private citizens who needed someone like me to be their advocate in the aftermath of the racist onslaught directed at them by Mr. Imus" _Al Sharpton

The State Department already said they weren't going to dignify it with a response. If they did, a million people could easily remind them they have a war to run, and to shut the fuck up about the issue.

[augiep38]

We could use Hitler's final solution on all of the homeless people and then they wouldn't be a problem anymore.

[Jimmy's Junk]

if theres no merger theres always kissing hoo hoos ass:icon_sad:

FUCK THAT! If (hopefully not) the Boys get fired, they should become groundbreakers again and do a monthly fee based Podcast. I would much rather spend my time and money downloading and listening to that then seeing one dime of my money go to that hooked nosed bastard. To think that he would have some kind of power over them again is a horrible thought. I can't believe at a time like this someone on this board would even think to suggest this. Die! :mad4:

[I.L.I.O.S.T.]

I'm taking it as good news that I haven't heard anything about O&A on fox throughout the later part of last night/this morning. Reverend Al is actually still getting press about the Imus situation. He might be over extending himself if he goes after O&A, which it seems like he wont at the moment. As of now there is still no major interest group stepping up to take issue with this so all we really need to worry about is XM not freaking out about the merger. As of closing yesterday XMSR was up 14 cents, so there hasn't been any major fallout yet. If this story dies completely before the weekend I'm going to assume it wont affect the merger too much, and then the boys just might be in the clear.

[Chronic Pain]

That's a great point. I don't see Al having much pull with dick cream and porn by the minute hawkers.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing that nagging cunt yelling at her husband to tell us about the discount pull out:icon_lol:

[elvacilando]

If fatboy decides to go after o&a for their comments on the secretary of state, i think dave chappelle's calling her " cunnilingus rice" and saying how we should send her to mexico to let the mexicans eat her should be brought into play. he did it as a character (clayton bigsby, black white supremacist) to make a point, but anthony was using charlie's comments to make a point on the double standard of violence and naughty words on the radio.
fatboy would lose his entire constituency if he went after chappelle.

[Sevenyars]

However, I wouldn't mind seeing that nagging cunt yelling at her husband to tell us about the discount pull out:icon_lol:

[augiep38]

Let him call for whatever he wants, my guess is that he's lost alot of credibility after the Imus escapade.

It'll have some legs, but ultimately I think they'll be safe (at least on the XM side). If done right, and if ORGANIZED right, a counter-protest to the CBS side could also be effective. But CBS and the advertisers would have to determine that the loss of business from our side would be greater than that of Sharpton's brigade. As of right now, Sharpton's side is more organized.

It amazes me that the POS Nig Al Sharpton was considered to have any credibility to lose. Why can't pieces of human shit like this guy just get AIDS and die. They are no use to society whatsoever adn have absolutely no desire to help with race relations. If Jesse and Al solved race relation problems, they would be out of a paycheck. They gots to keep they niqqers on the plantation.

[psyduck]

Hopefully Sharpton will stay out of it, as Homeless Charlie is a non-reflective.

[westben2002]

al sharpton is a sack of cunt

[ntg84]

We could use Hitler's final solution on all of the homeless people and then they wouldn't be a problem anymore.

They're not the only ones

[cosmic cow]

Will the news be on the walk over? Has a support O&A walk been planned for Monday?

[MrUgly]

You can make the argument that this is inappropriate for regular radio. The FCC has basically disemboweled the First Amendment, so it would make sense if they got into this trouble had this bit happened over there. But they said all of this on a subscription based, un-FCC regulated radio network. I thought the entire concept behind XM was the fact that anything can be said. I'd just like to know if they will begin to go after HBO since they too are subscription based.

[del griffith]

anybody hear steve earles song condi condi?

[Vyce]

If Sharpton were to get involved in this, PLEASE take off the shackles and unleash the dogs of war.

I'm talking full-on pest attack. They want to try and take the show down, make it one huge, hellish war of attrition for them.

Your right on, but the fuckin problem is that when you tell these assholes to just change the channel, they'll act as if they didn't hear a fuckin word you said. They're some 'close minded' mother fuckers out there. This country is being engulfed by assholes and is in deep shit. Just imagine 5 - 10 years down the road how it'll be (better or worse?).

[GoodDaySir]

The State Department already said they weren't going to dignify it with a response.


You know, when I started listening to O&A on the first day they hit WNEW, I never, not once, thought I'd be seeing the names Opie, Anthony and the words "State Department" in the same sentence. Somehow I don't think they did either.

[salz4life]

will some klansman just fucking shoot this guy already. what the fuck are they there for?


As my first post, I have to say that the post above made me laugh out loud! Bravo sir.

If this all blows over (big fuckin if) the best thing that could happen is that O and A somehow peacefuuly leave the FM show and go back to just XM (plus somekind of internet show). There's a crissis now on FM and there's too much exposure.
I'd actully like to see them go back to 'afternoon drive' where it seems that people have a better sense of humor.

If FM doesn't back the boys then FM has drawn the line. It will be much easier to the guys to look forward if that's the case. I dont think you'd get many complaints on this board for them returning exclusively to XM...But the boys believe exposure and reaching an audience is critical...But if XM steps up like it appears they have then that is a HUGE vote of confidence for this show and I think we'd see where allegiances would fall.

[alaskanpipeline]

I only read the first few posts of this thread, so idk what was said after that.. but can we make a list of all the racist and oofensive things that Al Sharpton has said throughout his "career."

I loved how on Hannity and Colmes last night he interrupted everyone else when they we talking, but whenever somebody did it to him or questioned his integrity he would flip out. Anybody know what Al Sharpton does for a living, other than acting like a cunt on her period?

I read that article while enjoying a cold refreshing Bud Light .... smelling my ProFlowers roses, playing my Gamefly videogame and listening to my XM radio from MyRadioStore.com.

By the way ... the O&A apology got a front-page link on xmradio.com, and its own section here:
http://www.xmradio.com/onxm/channelpage.xmc?ch=202#apology

[7cent]

It looks like the right wing is the only people pushing this... Foxnews has it front page while the other news has it in entertainment..

This is the right's payback because it was a republican.. All the blogs I've read accused OandA of being Bush hating liberals..The one black leader making a statement is a conservative, and he is making it a democrat vs republican thing..that's a good distraction..

Ant, we're just starting to pick up some optimistic momentum here... please tell us it's not unwarranted. We're scared, buddy.

[Ronreddog]

Glad to hear Fezzie is better, and glad to see you are doing okay, Ant! Your minions are here for you!

[Cup O Broth]

and is citadel relieved that none of the news outlets seems to know you are on a lot of their stations?

[wes mantooth]

Both CBS and XM have been great supporting the show.
They have been fighting massive battles behind the scenes and I can't say enough about E-LO he is the man.


That's great to hear! Hang in there WBL. We're fighting for you guys.

[Boz]

WBL...your just being here and saying "cautiously optimistic" makes us all rest a little easier.

[BroGonzo]

"cautiously optimistic"

Better than "drinking heavily.":action-sm

is it safe to assume that the apology was forced by XM?

As well they should, you are the best show out there, and these assholes that come out of the woodwork need to go back! I want to punch MANCUNT in the fucking face for his bullshit on FoxNews last night.

[BroGonzo]

is it safe to assume that the apology was forced by XM?

I think that's a question that Ant knows better than to answer.

[Ploppy]

I hope you guys pull through this. I'm not the fan of the show I was a year ago, but I still get a couple of laughs out of it.

[Cup O Broth]

who is the battle against? is it a group? is it just o&a v. the media in general? people inside cbs and xm?

o'reilly was talking as though he is the mayor of televison.

but what group is this going after you guys? who is outraged?

[unclejim]

That's awesome news about Elo. Has anybody heard anything about the rally?

The fight is against the Thought Police. Read "1984".

[Ronreddog]

Thanks, Ant, you guys bring us great entertainment on a daily basis, it is the LEAST we can do!

[StarFucker]

Rev. Al said he would meet to discuss wether to call for their firings? LOL! Who the hell is he and why is anyone giving him any credibility whatsoever??!! what a joke.

[Ploppy]

Well, if its any consolation, The Norwegian Sprit is leaving for 14 days to the Bahamas right out of New York tomorrow.

Might be a good way to spend some unexpected time off.

[FlyingHat]

I really doubt you'll see anything come from ol' Al, the fact that he isn't instantly jumping on the situation means he's probably weighing how much damage he can do versus how much of his shit background will be exposed.

Ant, you do a hell of a show buddy, and we support you all the way. christ, I even bought coffee to support you.

but I'm not buying a sunsetter. ever.

[Ronreddog]

Well, my support for the show will never falter! I am sick and tired of how the media spins this, and can SAY WHATEVER THEY WANT, about the situation, and be critical. FUCK THEM ALL!!!

[Plunkies]

No need to worry ant. I just got word that all publicity is, infact, GOOD publicity. So you just kick back on easy street and let the checks roll in.

[Cup O Broth]

so true, plunkies.

ever since i was a child i have dreamed of strangers going on television demanding that i be fired. they are so lucky to be living that dream!

hannity is a good guy, even though he doesn't like what was said on the show he isn't being self righteous about this. if you don't like it turn it off is especially applicable here because it's a service that charges a fee and there are ways to block the channel if you don't want to listen.

I don't know why, but seeing these posts by WBL is making me fill up a bit...

I am half tempted to jerk my first cousin off right NOW!
even though i don't have the necessary parts to "fill up" i feel the same way. i'm glad to see the posts and i'm glad to see that they appear to have been written by sober ant :)

[Cup O Broth]

right, sadie. can you believe that its gotten that bad that "turn off the radio if you dont like it" sounds like Che Guevara?

but the media is the real problem. NO ONE in that studio said r***. EVERY news report said r***. they act like o&a were encouraging pests to **** the secratary of state!! someone on CNN said "what if they said the wanted to kill someone?" WHICH ISNT EVEN IN THE SAME LEAGUE!!! CLEARLY.

to say that this situation is moving the line is a vast understatement. the 1st amendment was WRITTEN so that the population could speak freely of public officials. politeness isnt an exclusively 21st century concept. If they framers wanted to include politeness, they fucking would have. They didnt politely **** their slaves (to those who talk about the purely polite motives of the founding fathers).

and what ever happened to f***? if you say **** and not put the "f" in the front, then that could be ANY four letter word!

[loganfield]

WBL...it would be great for you to pop over to Paltalk to give us a little pep talk right about now....

Here's some Christian horseshit:

http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/765013098.html

LOS ANGELES, May 11 /Christian Newswire (http://www.christiannewswire.com/)/ -- The Rev. Al Sharpton is coming under fire for his silence over the vulgar attack against Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by shock jocks Opie and Anthony last Wednesday.


Opie and Anthony engaged in crude and graphic discussions with one of their guests about ****** and beating Condoleezza Rice, First Lady Laura Bush, and Queen Elizabeth. The two apologized Friday. "The Opie and Anthony Show" is carried by XM Satellite Radio.



Outspoken conservative author and activist Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson ripped the shock jocks and pointed out the hypocrisy of Al Sharpton regarding this matter:


"Opie and Anthony have crossed the line and should at the very least be fined for their disgraceful remarks. Even as 'shock jocks' they cannot promote abusing and ****** women," said Rev. Peterson. "Where's the outrage from Al Sharpton on this attack of a Black women? Does his selective defense of Black women only apply to non-conservative women?"


Sharpton spurred the firing of talk show host Don Imus last month from CBS and MSNBC for his derogatory remarks about the Rutgers' women's basketball team.


"This incident shows Sharpton's hypocrisy and that he's not interested in helping Black women. I hope that XM Satellite Radio will address this issue with Opie and Anthony to make sure that these kinds of comments are not repeated," said Rev. Peterson.

Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson is Founder and President of BOND (Brotherhood Organization of a New Destiny); a Los Angeles based nonprofit organization. He's also an author, columnist, and sought after speaker, who appears in the media as an expert commentator on race, family, and gender issues.

[GoodDaySir]

It looks better but the climate around radio just isn't good. Imus = fired. JV & Elvis = fired. The boys are right though, at least for the free side...it's only a matter of time.

All I know is when I heard Ant go, "Your Mom's....big day" on Friday I freakin' froze. I'll feel better a week or so from now when this is totally gone.

[Right Wing Dave]

I've listened to the show for a long time, but never joined wackbag or any other site. With all that's happeing, I decided to join. I really hope the guys don't get fired.

Has Condi Rice said anything about this? I mean she and O&A are at the center of this. I guess she's too busy doing important things instead of worrying about stupid comments said on the radio. I wish everyone would do the same.

On a side note, I saw Brother Joe and 2U at a bar in Eastchester, NY. They were great.

[Vos Ear Cyst]

Ya know,

It absolutely sickens me that Al Sharpton is going to turn his dogs on the boys after his mess last week. Why isn't like...the national association for the betterment of mormons calling for the head of Sharpton to have him removed from radio.

What is scary, is that "indecency" on the radio is no longer as simple as seven words. The true enemy in this whole deal are quite simply...the people in general. Furthermore, the sponsors are now deciding what we can or can't listen to.

Corperate Communist America is alive and well today.

Gross. Has be even bothered to ask ANYONE if they want his representation? Of course not. Condi Rice probably calls that troll a nappy-headed ho under her breath. This fucking bottom feeder has destroyed so many lives, it's a wonder he can sleep at night. I bet he'll start pressuring XM talent like Snoop Dogg who have shows on XM to resign in protest or some shit like that, trying desperately to spin it into a racial issue. In the meantime, there won't be any discussion on his part of the comments made about Laura Bush or the queen.

I really hope XM will man up and not even let this ass into their building. He is so completely reckless with his words it just blows my mind that any corporation entertains him. XM, please do not even bother with this bigoted prick.

I see the wiki entry for Al is slowly being hijacked:

the absolutely best move for XM would be to ignore whatever that dirty negro says, and say that they don't really care what his opinion is because they believe it is a very limited 1 (read: its ONLY his opinion). Sharpton doesn't represent anyone anymore but himself, and the people that do follow him can all go screw. I think that a major pest snail mail/fax attack should be made on sharpton, emails are too easy to ignore.

[Tug McGroin]

The news needs to be held accountable for the facts and context of those facts.


this needs to be legislation...bravo, sir.. bravo.

[Ucant]

The only people XM should talk with on this issue are O & A, or who it was said about....if it was that big of national problem I would think conde Rice or the first lady would say something....it's not like they have a forum to say something to the media if it was that big of deal.

[Lietmotiv]

This controversy is over. No mention on the front pages of the major news sites. I didn't see it on drudge because the story is boring and has no legs.

Just glad this went down on a friday. No one remembers last week. O&A should just act like nothing happened because it did.

I doubt Al will get involved. XM Isn't public and it would be the equivilent of Lucky Lou getting pulled off HBO....er...well not a good reference...

[Right Wing Dave]

Does anyone think that the media could use wackbag against O&A? Take posts and images out of context and say "their fans are racists" "look at their messageboard" etc.

Great story on the "Free Speech Saga" by Germain Lussier of the Record Online (apologies if this has already been posted):

Commentary: Free Speech? The Opie and Anthony, Imus, JV and Elvis saga (http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070511/ENTERTAIN/70511019)

By Germain Lussier
May 11, 2007

Times Herald-Record

Airing a homeless man fantasizing about ****** Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is just the latest in a string of radio incidents that prove America is ignoring the principles upon which it was founded.

As deplorable as such jokes may be, the laws of the government for which Rice works protect the rights of radio personalities Opie and Anthony.

An affection for offensive humor is not shared by many Americans. But these two so-called “shock jocks,” whose time is mostly spent delivering witty riffs on the news, making fun of people who deserve a good smashing and talking like a bunch of guys sitting at a bar, should be able to say what they want.

First and foremost, “Opie and Anthony,” a daily morning show aired on WFNY and subscription-based satellite service XM, is a comedy show. It’s raunchy, it’s edgy, and it’s the listeners' prerogative to listen to what they want.

Unfortunately for radio personalities such as O&A, it’s the shocking things they do that makes headlines and dictates how the mainstream public views them.

Previously, radio icon Don Imus was fired for calling the Rutgers Women’s basketball team “nappy-headed hos.” Soon after, midday New York talkers JV and Elvis were suspended indefinitely for airing a prank call to a Chinese restaurant.

Imus, an old white man who wears a cowboy hat, hardly learned the term “nappy-headed hos” on his own. JV and Elvis didn’t invent the Chinese restaurant prank phone call. But for some reason, each has recently been severely punished for doing or saying what’s been done or said before.

Opie and Anthony are far from the first people to air over-the-top comments about government officials.

Moreover, the comment that’s causing this stir is only part of the story. Taken out of context, the headline “Opie and Anthony Joke About ****** Condoleezza Rice” looks bad. Really bad. But nobody’s reporting the complete context in which it was said.

The homeless man, named Charlie, was on a profanity-laced rant where he attacked Al Sharpton, Jewish people, white people, and other important females such as First Lady Laura Bush and Queen Elizabeth II.

He was an equal-opportunity offender, ripping on everyone.

But one Web site that no one has heard of, breitbart.tv, decided that comment was wrong and sent only one minute of audio to the Drudge Report. That was the seed that started this whole thing.

To start both their shows Friday, Opie and Anthony apologized for airing the hurtful words about the Secretary of State. They know their creative freedom comes with a higher level of responsibility and they are sorry. But is that going to be enough? Imus apologized. JV and Elvis apologized. Both are now gone.

Though no official action has been taken on Opie and Anthony over the statement (which, incidentally, only aired on XM, a world free from regulation by the Federal Communications Commission and where listeners pay for the privilege to hear O&A), the half-informed public outrage is enough to give pause.

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution tells us that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.”

Responsible or irresponsible, appealing or unappealing, funny or unfunny, Imus, JV and Elvis and Opie and Anthony are within their rights to broadcast hurtful language.

Otherwise, the American soldiers who have died fighting to defend the freedom of this country aren’t defending the freedom of speech – just the freedom to say things that don’t hurt other people’s feelings.

Uh-Oh, it's gotta be true:

There's the AP, getting something wrong again. [JV & Elvis] broadcast a call to a Chinese restaurant; the caller, in an exaggerated accent... It wasn't an "exaggerated accent". It wasn't even a human!!! JV made a real (not abusive) call using his own voice, then went back and stripped his own voice out and edited in text-to-speech software for the allegedly funny parts. Listen to the call. At no point do any of the people on the other side of the call refer back to any of the "horrible" things JV's software said. They should be bashed for being hack and fake, not racist.

If Sharpton gets his meeting with O&A's XM bosses, I think we should all be able to be there, too. Who is he to think he's important enough to XM to get a special meeting???

[Mindslayer]

The only silver lining in Sharpton meeting with the suits at XM would be if Jimmy got a shot to debate that fucking charlatan.

Anyway, not to jinx it or anything, but Ive got the feeling that this is all going to blow over, I really do.

[wes mantooth]

Does anyone think that the media could use wackbag against O&A? Take posts and images out of context and say "their fans are racists" "look at their messageboard" etc.


Actually that's been a concern of mine for a long time. Not just O&A's future either. I would most likely lose my job if my employer ever saw what I post on here. I no longer post from work but still....if I was ever fired I'd probably have to find another line of work. It's a small community I work in. Plus, if I don't have some sort of outlet for my twisted sense of humor then I might as well die anyway.

With all the shit Sharpton and done and gotten away with, I makes me sick that companies like CBS or XM would even give him the tme of day. Or that advertisers believe that he could muster up enough support to affect their sales.

[ShavedLebaneseBear]

CNN actually pulled shit from PalTalk. Now THAT has to be watched.
If someone wants to screw you over there is no defence anymore.
Could you imagine some of the "mics off" shit thats been said on PalTalk making it's way on to Drudge? Total meltdown. The PC Police have their peepers everywhere these days.

Now that pisses me off. Great...now Paltalk has to be censored, just like the show itself will be. No more jokes about race, retards, fattys, or faggots. No more "when the mics are off." This is fucked. I am not getting on your case WBL or on XM's. You gotta do what you gotta do. Nigga gotta eat. But I think the listeners' thinking on the show was that XM was the place you guys could say the things you could not on FM, and if the FM gig blew up, you could fall back on XM. Now what happens? XM ends up being only 90% uncensored because of the thought police?

XM Radio - Uncensored Content (except for anything relating to blacks, jews, hispanics, women, gays, or anybody else who might cause trouble.)

[Mindslayer]

Agreed, great article, especially the last sentence. Really puts things in perspective, especially when those very same freedoms are being threatened by faggoty bloggers and their so-called righteous indignation.

[greg1022b]

even if the media went to use wackbag and FBA against O&A, O&A could always reply to them that they are not responsible for the content that is posted on the message boards, and that they are run and created by fans. their "who's listening to us today" bit was a great example that you don't really know who your audience might be, even though you have a demographic you aim for.

[Hobo_Cum]

after reading this entire thread ive been consistently amazed with the lack of credibility and accuracy throughout the plethora of news organizations in this country.

As a previous poster commented, the word **** was never used by the boys or homeless charlie and yet it has appeared (along with beating, slapping and abusing) in almost every single article written about the boys.

There is no accountability left in this country unless you're a radio personality trying to make some people laugh... pretty unblelievable\

McGuirk called Sharpton a "race-baiter" looking for attention when he led the campaign to fire Imus. Sharpton replied that Imus and McGuirk got what they deserved for making racist, sexist comments on the air.

Wtf does Sharpton deserve for all of HIS racist comments over the years? HOW DOES THIS BLATANT HYPOCRISY CONTINUE TO GO UNCHALLENGED BY THE MASS MEDIA IN THIS FUCKING COUNTRY

Dimwit DJ Duo 'Sorry' (http://www.nypost.com/seven/05122007/tv/dimwit_dj_duo_sorry_tv_.htm)

[CTOAFan]

Both CBS and XM have been great supporting the show.
They have been fighting massive battles behind the scenes and I can't say enough about E-LO he is the man.

It's great that both companies have been supportive. If you guys had lost your jobs because of this, it would have set a real bad precedent that now even satellite is not safe. And it would have been absurd if ANY action was taken as a result of what happened. I just wish the "offended police" would actually use what brains they have and turn the station if a show is not to their liking instead of ruining for others that do enjoy it.

[CTOAFan]

But, been through this shit enough times not to pop my head out of the foxhole just yet.

I think the stuff to be worried about is just about in the past. The only thing left is that piece of trash Sharpton. But considering two of the three women in question are white, it will be just a tad bit difficult for him to cry racism. I can understand not wanting to celebrate yet given the history (yours and recent events).

[mendozathejew]

what makes me nervous is that e-lo has HAD to be the man, meaning hes had to go to battle behind the scenes and battle real opposition in XM management. the battles hes fighting cant all be external

[CTOAFan]

Did anyone listen to Sean Hannity yesterday? His comments were fucking great. He supports Opie and Anthony completely and said if you don't like what they have to say, if their type of radio is not for you, then turn it off and don't listen. Best thing he ever said.

And this point goes for ANY TV/Radio show. People should use their fucking brains and not watch what they don't like. Agree/disagree with Hannity's politics I have great respect for him as a man as he is loyal.

[Mindslayer]

Not only that, but Hannity has no problem calling out a piece of shit like Sharpton, not once but repeatedly. Gotta respect that, although its still a mystery why he'd have Mancunt on his show since he's so biased against the boys.

Dimwit DJ Duo 'Sorry' (http://www.nypost.com/seven/05122007/tv/dimwit_dj_duo_sorry_tv_.htm)

Well, at least it's a better photo of Anthony than TMZ.com used in their story

[CTOAFan]

Not only that, but Hannity has no problem calling out a piece of shit like Sharpton, not once but repeatedly. Gotta respect that, although its still a mystery why he'd have Mancunt on his show since he's so biased against the boys.

I'd have him on just to let him make a fool of himself.

[ginaf20697]

Yeah but look what else was in that article. They're dropping like flies out there.

Meanwhile, comedian Donnell Rawlings has been axed from Power 105 over comments he made May 3 on Ed Lover's morning show.

According to the online site sohh.com, Rawlings, asked what album he was looking forward to hearing, said, "Nickel-Black," which prompted Lover to say, "That's a cheap black guy."

"A Jewish black guy," Rawlings replied.

"We do not comment on personnel matters," a station spokeswoman said yesterday.

[fabricated]

Well, if anything all the non-milktoast FM personalities getting their spots blown up by racists and fame-seeking political activist cunts has started making XM and Sirius seem more relevant.

[mendozathejew]

long term this is the type of insanity we need. we need a moment of mass firings for innocuous comments for people to see the absurdity of PC gone wild. but right now this is making my brain hurt

[Ben's Bulge]

Well, if anything all the non-milktoast FM personalities getting their spots blown up by racists and fame-seeking political activist cunts has started making XM and Sirius seem more relevant.

Unless XM fires Opie and Anthony. The news seems to be going after XM and not CBS.

[CTOAFan]

I have never known Sharpton to interject himself in a situation unless it's a white to black racism issue. Well how can he cry racism when two of the three women in question are white? Fuck Al Sharpton. That piece of beached whale has done far more to hurt race relations than anyone living.

[Bobobie]

i can't believe 3 people had to contribute to a 6 paragraph article

They are attention whores. They figure O&A will rant about them.

when is someone from the radio industry going to say enough of this shit. at some point, in self preservation, they are going to have to.

[Mavprick]

So WBL does the Homeless Charlie Remix contest start Monday?

[buxotic]

Right now. But in the end, XM still generates more income from subscribers than from sponsors, so ultimately the threat of losing all of us will keep the boys safe, IMHO.

If this was 2 years from now, when Satellite Radio is inundated with commercials the way Cable TV is now, then it would be a different story.

does anyone know why there isnt any video of this charlie?? on other boards theyre saying this whole thing was a bit... and if its found out it was a planned bit then the boys will be in REAL trouble.

[mills]

does anyone know why there isnt any video of this charlie?? on other boards theyre saying this whole thing was a bit... and if its found out it was a planned bit then the boys will be in REAL trouble.
Because they have nothing to prove to douchebags on SFN?

[jpc165]

fuck the other boards

[Mizzeaux]

does anyone know why there isnt any video of this charlie?? on other boards theyre saying this whole thing was a bit... and if its found out it was a planned bit then the boys will be in REAL trouble.

Bringing someone in for this bit would require show prep. Enough Said! :icon_lol:

[buxotic]

no it isnt... that guy andy who opie jumped on the cake had a lot of show prep??.... the boys like doing things on the fly... with as little effort as possible

[ImSalty]

Well at this point it sure as hell isn't CBS or XM.
To be honest you guys just setting the news straight on the fact of this has been a godsend. The way everyone chimmed in on email during the Sheperd Smith show really helped. The news needs to be held accountable for the facts and context of those facts. You guys are doing a great job of that.:clap:


good thing we've been organizing and practicing over these past few weeks

[buxotic]

good thing we've been organizing and practicing over these past few weeks


hope it isnt too little too late....

[mills]

hope it isnt too little too late....
Sir, you're being a real Negative Nellie. Got something to get off your chest?

[O&A_Fan]

Hope you're doing well, Anthony. We are all behind you 100% and are trying to do our part to show our support. Love ya, man.

[fabricated]

Ha, yeah...TMZ loves using only the best pix! Funny one, I don't even know where that one is from.Looks like it may have been grabbed from a TV appearance. Maybe Leno or Letterman.

[ILOVEUWxx]

But, been through this shit enough times not to pop my head out of the foxhole just yet.

Slow and steady my good man, take no chances, conserve ammo, keep your eye on the ball, etc.

I'll happily sit through a month of watered down shows if that meant you guys won't get fired for this fuckin horseshit.

[jpc165]

hope it isnt too little too late....

umm no its not. they will be back on the air monday.

[Zuke]

I can't say enough about E-LO he is the man.

The idea of him getting sent packing after the merger makes me ill.

[Dre]

Thanks WBL for contributing and thanking the BEST board.

We support you! :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

[Mindslayer]

Of course we support WBL, and not only do we support him but obviously we support Op, Jimmy, and EVERYONE involved with the show. The true fans, the ones who get it, wont ever let you guys down.

[Mook_Dawg]

is it safe to assume that the apology was forced by XM?


If you were listening when it happened, you know damned well it was forced.

HINT: There were subtle yet distinguishable sound effects aired during the intro music that normally are not heard during the intro music.

[Mook_Dawg]

But, been through this shit enough times not to pop my head out of the foxhole just yet.


He is right. I wouldn't breathe easy until June.

It look a full week the last time they got axed.

Took about 2 weeks for Imus, and about that long for JV & Elvis.

Sometimes these slowly develop as the lawyers are consulted and the internal battles are fought.

[IBrokeMyLegDude]

MY 2 cents;

1 This is the best thing that ever happend for Mancow. i am tired of seeing his No Filter Paul face on every TV station saying they are liberal.

2 I do love to laugh at how poorly the facts are reported. My favorite so far is the NY daily News on Friday actually had a column that said:

"Cumia, 46, a product of Brooklyn, and Hughes, 42, is a Long Islander turned jersey guy....."

[ginaf20697]

"Cumia, 46, a product of Brooklyn, and Hughes, 42, is a Long Islander turned jersey guy....."

Wait! I thought Ant was AT LEAST 80 and Opie was in his twenties :icon_wink

[greg1022b]

yea... i made that post a while back, move on buddy

[ROONT]

The fight is against the Thought Police. Read "1984".


...i wish i could but the media police broke into my house and confiscated that along with my stephen king collection and my william s burroughs collection...they even took my daughter's copy of CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY because they said it could be construed as a knock against asians...

[Mook_Dawg]

yea... i made that post a while back, move on buddy


Not trying to be a wisenheimer, just figured you didn't hear the Friday show open sitting in Poland.

[jrsaint]

I think it is about time to put rev Al under a microscope. monitor his show and his coming and goings. wait for him to screw up and have it on tape to show the world on youtube or break.i am soo tired of his mouth, and politics, and it is time to turn the tables on Al. i am not a racist however., he is, and he is responsible for race baiting. time to attack

[greg1022b]

Not trying to be a wisenheimer, just figured you didn't hear the Friday show open sitting in Poland.

ah fair enough, yea i've relistened the entire show since that, + the question was rhetorical anyways :P

[Natesac]

Agreed.


You're in charge.



.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand go.

[Mook_Dawg]

ah fair enough, yea i've relistened the entire show since that, + the question was rhetorical anyways :P


My sarcasm meter is apparently broken. Chalk it up as a lurker-turned-newbie-poster-mistake

[jeffie, lol]

So glad and relieved to hear the boys will be back monday. That Rev. Al pisses me off so much. I would love to see Al and the boys debate on some news channel. They would fuckin tear Al apart.

[captin hook]

that stupid ****** should keep his nose out of it he is a james brown hair whearin mother fucker

[justcrash]

Glad to see you are doing OK, Ant. We are behind you guys 100%!

[RMM46]

CNN actually pulled shit from PalTalk. Now THAT has to be watched.
If someone wants to screw you over there is no defence anymore.
Could you imagine some of the "mics off" shit thats been said on PalTalk making it's way on to Drudge? Total meltdown. The PC Police have their peepers everywhere these days.

Shit. Don't know if this was brought up...but if PalTalk is being monitored, wouldn't it stand to reason that Wackbag, FBA, and any of the other fan sites are being monitored??? Not for nothing, but is it possible that those of us who use these sites could one day have our posts used against the boys?

Fuckin thought police.


Keep your head up, Ant. Hopefully this will all work out.

[DJBigFatCock]

to WBL and all O&A staff. Please delete and destroy all copies of Van Hallen 1984 from XM and CBS. And please If you going out Opie says he has a "doozie" . I really really dont want it to happen but If its inevitable then let it be glorious.
and ahh P.S. Al Sharpton is a cunt

[greg1022b]

pretty much anything thats publicly available could be used by the media, but what can they say: look, they have mean/racist/stupid(you know who you are) fans! ? it would b a dumb move by the media to do that cuz all o&a would have to say is that they're not responsible for the sites, cuz they're not run by them, nor for the comments, cuz thats just the fan's personal opinions

+ every show out there has weirdoes that are fans. you think pat robertson doesn't have a few racists listening to every word he utters?

[Vyce]

And please If you going out Opie says he has a "doozie" .

I've talked to Opie about that, and he confirms it's "beyond a doozie."

[Larz]

monday will be the last show on cbs if shaprton goes full blast again. if your gona go down, go down swinging

I edited this, as it came out gay the first time

Don't get overly distracted by Sharpton, the sucker punch could just as easily come from the right on this 1. The ball started rolling with Drudge>Breitbart>Newsbusters. O'reilly did quite the hatchet job on friday as well.

[TimHorton]

Yeah, I just talked to Fezzy, really puts shit like this in perspective.
He's fine!

Thanks WBL, glad to hear Aunt Fezzy is OK...Give Ronnie a call he's turning into the Atlas of 202

[mendozathejew]

Don't get overly distracted by Sharpton, the sucker punch could just as easily come from the right on this 1. The ball started rolling with Drudge>Breitbart>Newsbusters. O'reilly did quite the hatchet job on friday as well.
its not as likely that any of them will go after sponsors and bosses with the political and blatent racial pressure that sharpton brings

[R7i1c3K]

I know I'm a little late into the conversation here, but I wanted to say that I support the boys. I have been turning all sorts of people onto the show, and like everyone else, I didn't want to see it end like this.

I will march on those motherfuckers if the boys get pulled off for doing their jobs. It's cringe radio. It's always been cringe radio. They were doing nothing more, nothing less than what they were hired to do.

I used to be a fucking Walton & Johnson fan until O&A opened my eyes to what enormous hacks they were, and I'll remind CBS that when O&A were pulled off in New Orleans after the church stunt, 94.9FM lost ALL their listeners and had to switch format... to a gospel channel.

XM and CBS need to think this through very carefully, as they'll lose far many more fans if they cancel the only left thing that's keeping that awful terrestrial radio shit alive. Support your fucking talent for once in your miserable existance.

Good to see you holding in there, Ant. We support you guys.

[vaglvr]

I didn't know where to put this and i didn't really want to start a thread, but is there anyone here who can fix the wikipedia on O and A???

"Condoleeza Rice, Laura Bush & Queen Elizabeth II: A homeless man making a guest appearance on the XM version of the show described how he would like to explicitly **** Condoleeza Rice, the US Secretary of State, Laura Bush, the first lady, and Queen Elizabeth II. [20] "

I think the phrase "explicitly ****" could be better phrased.

[Larz]

its not as likely that any of them will go after sponsors and bosses with the political and blatent racial pressure that sharpton brings

This is true, I'm just saying be aware. Theres a reason why Mandouche is trying to paint the boys as Liberals attacking Condi and Laura. I'm not saying anyone will listen to him... but if you read comments on some of the conservative sites theres been a pretty bad knee-jerk reaction.

[Jack Donovan]

Does anyone think that the media could use wackbag against O&A? Take posts and images out of context and say "their fans are racists" "look at their messageboard" etc.

Out of context???

[Ramon Frrrunkis]

It's too bad we won't know how many new XM subscribers sign up as a result of this if the boys stay on - after all, it's still publicity.

[MattFromQuincy]

Great, the nappy headed ****** is going to get involved. Everyone ready for a race war?
I used to think I'm not racist, but a look at my internet history folder might find a few "FBI watch listed", white supremest sites resting comfortably there.

[The Dreamer]

I usually stay pretty quiet on here, just because i like to read all of you guy's and gal's posts, and have a good time supporting my favorite show quietly in the background, but now, well, i just have to get this off my chest.

They (the suits and 'critics') need to get it into their thick f-ing heads that this is a PAY SERVICE! We all have been forced, through the pussification of america, to pay money to hear things that entertain us and draw our attention. Us, the fans. We don't get to listen for free, we don't enjoy the inane ramblings of Morning DJ #6832 and Generic Sidekick #4331 thanks to the support of Fine Advertisers. We all bought our equipment, signed up with the service, and pay each and every month. That means that we all vote, with our dollars, to continue to hear the things WE CHOOSE to hear. Racist remarks and filthy jokes? Fuck yeah, bring em on. We know they are jokes. We know that it is all in fun, and OUR MONEY says we want it to continue. Sharpton, Condi, all the cons, liberals, whomever, well, they do not get to vote, because they do not pay their money to hear O&A. Cuz if they did? Well then, they would know it would be an honor to have your ass handed to you by the guys. They would be the first on the airwaves telling people to shut the fuck up, and focus on more important things. They are not us. They do not have the common sence to let slide the trivial shit and focus on the things that matter.

I don't hear them going after HBO, or Showtime or whatever. on the last Real Time with Bill Mar, he said something really nasty, which sadly escapes me right now, and when the audience went "Ooohh!" he said "This is HBO, not basic cable." Fucking exactly.

"But the CCHHIILLLDDRREENNN!!!" Well, numbnuts, if your little spawn hear O&A then a certain number of things had to have happened prior to that. 1) YOU bought an XM and signed up for the service. 2) YOU did NOT block the XL channels or otherwise exersize your parental control options. and 3) YOU left your little monkey alone long enough for it to turn on the radio and tune in to the show. Therefore, clearly, the fault lies with the FRIGGING PARENTS, not the content.

The whole thing makes me sick. Well, thanks for reading this. O&A forever, and all that.

2 subs voting to KEEP O&A.

[VOD]

Here is another interesting article. Whoever this cunt Rev. Peterson is, he can go screw.

http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/765013098.html

I like how this guy is quoted "as an expert commentator on race, family, and gender issues"...What the fuck are his qualifications that he is an expert on race and gender issues? Maybe he can claim that because he has a family he's an expert on that, but how easy is it for anyone to be considered an expert nowadays.

[Gailpolly]

You know, when I started listening to O&A on the first day they hit WNEW, I never, not once, thought I'd be seeing the names Opie, Anthony and the words "State Department" in the same sentence. Somehow I don't think they did either.

:haha7:

[Work Nuts]

This is going as well as can be expected. We got respectable heavy hitters in our corner(Hannity, Shepard Smith) helping us out. By the way, I love XM telling
Sharpton to go shit in his hat! This is the only way to get rid of him.

[DoucheSatchel]

Did he have a mic in front of him when he claimed to be an expert on these issues?

[TeenBungle]

i wasn't online all saturday. anyone mind giving me any new developments? what's this about Xm and Sharpton? Trojan condoms pulling their ads? did any other ads pullout? have the boys more likely Ant give any new word on developments?

[Hey_Asshole]

I don't post on boards because I have nothing intelligent to say, but I am fired up as hell and have to vent.

Sharpton is getting involved??? Why? A black man said comments about a black women? Is he forgetting that a black man also made comments about two white women (Mrs. Bush and the Queen)? Is he gonna speak up for them? Of course not!

Sharpton wants blacks to be treated as equal as he thinks that whites are??? Then why does he keep trying to separated the races. This is not a black and white issue, nothing racial happened here. Is he a womens activist now, gonna stick up for Mrs. Bush and the Queen too? No way in hell! So, Im confused, what part of this live, unscripted, subscribed to, XL rated, comedy show has his panties in a twist? Oh thats right, the show has two white hosts! That must mean its their fault.

And this mind set of a "post Imus" era is Bravo Sierra. Do these corporate companies not understand that the people they are firing, are the people who are paying their bills! So what if they lose sponsors, the fans are still gonna be there and these sponsors will soon be replaced based on the fan base. The people who are calling for firings, they don't listen to the shows, they are not fans, they do not pay for subscriptions, they do not listen to or purchase anything based on the sponsors commercials, they are not gonna bring these companies any revenue. How can the corporations not realize that? Do you think that Imus lost one fan based on what he said? No. JV and Elvis, No. O & A? No!

This is XM's chance to put an end to this "post Imus" , Whitey watch what you say era. This is were XM has a chance to change "radio history". When Sharpton and the such see that they are gonna lose this battle, they will move on to other issues. XM, meet with Sharpton, then tell him to go screw.

XM, you got 4 subs hanging here! Do you think I enjoy paying about $40 a month to basically listen to 2 of your channels? Plus paying $5 extra to Direct TV to get The Virus. Hells no. Get rid of O & A & you give me $45 a month to donate to www.peopleagainstcensorship.org !

On a side note, If i ever have to see Mancow speaking out on TV again, I am going to put a gun to my head. That was 10 minutes of my life i will never get back. Such a shame!

[fuckwit]

Could you imagine some of the "mics off" shit thats been said on PalTalk making it's way on to Drudge? Total meltdown. The PC Police have their peepers everywhere these days.

not sure how much this has been discussed but id like to find the source of all this. the drudge link started it. he just links. he works off industry connections and his tips box on the site. but he linked to breitbart. http://www.breitbart.tv/?p=450
as far as i know drudge build that breitbart site. Andrew Breitbart is someone drudge works with and who made that site. drudge uses it as his own personal dump site for stories he gets that he doesnt write himself and a place he just links to for generic stories. so he probably handed them the story in the first place.
but this story wasnt a big deal. and as much as the media might have been looking to capitalize on another imus they had JV and Elvis to feed off and they really didnt bother to much. so i really dont think CNN or many other news outlets are strictly monitoring the show. unless theirs a fan working for them that is soulless enough to sell out the show.
so
if someone was watching and waiting for something new from OnA they could use in a campaign like this to get them fired i doubt it was traditional media looking for a story but more enemies of the show.
Howard fans? Or is Howard himself that desperate too have people working on it? Or how about mr tv live shot himself Mancow?
I think the first place Mancow would turn to with his new rightwing radio persona is Drudge. I bet he told drudge exactly who he was and even tried to develop a friendship with him. According to wiki Mancow is a regular on that Fox morning show. I think he used his connections at Fox to get himself on the air as that story broke as an expert commenter. Mancow was bright and early on Hannity that night and again on the Factor. I think he made the recording and distributed it and himself.
I think Mancow is an OnA lurker. Hes pissed he never got the call after Roth blew it. And even more pissed over the personal snubs he has got from OnA and XM and is looking for revenge. And possibly also a little profit. I think this incident could be a conspiracy by Mancow to engineer the demise of OnA and take over their terrestrial stations. Im serious.

[Gailpolly]

(Re post #237 above, by Dreamer)

well said sir. XM subscribers PAY to have access to O&A explicit material.

in ALL of this, Imus, the Doghouse guys, O&A, should be protected by the First Amendment. It's not there to protect speech that no one has a problem with. It's to protect the speech that is UNpopular or controversial.

Rev Al and special interest groups, etc, should realize that if America starts messing around with Amendments, that things could work their way down to the Thirteenth or further. -- Pandora's Box (as opposed to your mom's.)

Dimwit DJ Duo 'Sorry' (http://www.nypost.com/seven/05122007/tv/dimwit_dj_duo_sorry_tv_.htm)


Dimwit. That's a new one. Usually it's "Opie and Dopey". Is Dimwit a step up from Dopey or a step down? :icon_razz

[DoucheSatchel]

While I agree that at it's core this is a Free Speech issue, the fact is that the Constitution protects our rig
