Great Americans in the past have sacrificed
for their county including giving their lives. Howard Stern, who once
supported President Bush (fighting a war on terror), has turned against
him. The reason- Howard Stern (a multi-millionaire) feels that his career
is threatened because he is unable to be vulgar over the free airwaves.
Stern, he writes, has been "Railing tirelessly against the president, attacking Bush's alleged yoking together of church and state, questioning the legitimacy of Bush's National Guard service, his use of images of Sept. 11 in his campaign ads, his stands on First Amendment rights, his handling of Iraq, and his stands against gay marriage and stem-cell research. "Join me and friends of this show who are outraged," Stern said on the air last Friday. "Vote out every Republican you can find." Stern's anti-Bush crusade began in earnest, the Globe reported, after the FCC crackdown on "indecency" had inspired Clear Channel - which he calls "Fear Channel" - to remove his show from six cities the week of Feb. 23. "It's over," Stern said on the air. "When the Senate passes that bill, it's over. The show is over. ... We can't do a radio program that's cutting edge ... if the government keeps second-guessing everything we do." Thursday, March 18, 2004 10:58 a.m. EST
Shock jock Howard Stern says he will help John Kerry win crucial swing voters in November. The Hill today quoted Stern as saying on the air Monday: "I'm both pro-Kerry and anti-Bush. More anti-Bush. I encourage people on the air and personally [to vote for him]. Here's the deal, dude. It turns out the show has a lot of influence among swing voters, voters who are not Republican or Democrat, but intelligent enough to vote for the good candidate."

Votes for Kerry
Radio host Howard Stern took aim at the Bush administration, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and media giant Clear Channel as he announced Wednesday that his program will soon be broadcast on nine new stations across the country. "Clear Channel is very tied to the Bush administration" Stern said. "Clear Channel for years has been defending me...I criticize Bush and then I'm fired...They acted out of politics." Stern lashed out against Bush administration's policies on everything from the environment, to stem cell research and the war in Iraq. He said he was encouraging his listeners, whom he described as swing voters, to cast their ballots for John Kerry. "John Kerry will receive more votes because of this. ... My audience will vote in a bloc," Stern said. "We're also in a lot of key states. ... If we can affect that state that's big news." Stern lambastes Bush, FCC 'I criticize Bush and then
I'm fired'
