Clear Channel Dumps Howard Stern!
Edited on Thu Feb-26-04 01:31 AM by Must_B_Free

They say it's because of vulgarity but NO WAY! Vilgarity and tastelessness are his job...I have a feeling there is a rift opened today between power bases. I think jewish public opinion is rightfully offended by the Passion.

Stern trashed Bush today and now Clear Channel has suspended him. CNN trashed Bush today. I have a feeling hell is breaking loose.

Look - the people who bought the neocon lies and had to admit they were stabbed in the back finally have to cut off the infection of Bush corruption somewhere... TV had to rebalance itself with reality.

It'll be interesting to see where this power fissure goes. I think denying Passion as not being anti Semetic is a joke in cosideration of statements made by Gibson's father who is a member of the same extremist church. Count on Joan Rivers for a mainstream NY jewish verdict - when asked what she thought of the film, she said "If Mel Gibson's parents say the Holocaust didn't exist - then I say their movie doesn't exist."

Maybe I'm reaching by associating the passion with Clear Channel and Stern, but probably not. I personally hold that religions that center on fear and terror to hold sway over their followers and used them MLM style to "spread the faith" are actively committing an all out assault on all other cultures. In Hawaii - they gave a Jesus video to every mailing address on the island. The passion - they have believers buying and giving away free tickets to expose everyone to the TERROR of Christ. They are trying to TRAUMATIZE people into salvation. This wasn't about the gnostic internal enlightenment or teachings of Christ - "I want them to feel it" were Gibson's own words.

Terror can be used for indoctrination - The new world order wants you to believe "The World Changed on Sept 11, 2001" They tell you this over and over. They want you to abandon the old ways for the new. Terror is the vehicle for conscription and control. </paranoid soapbox>

4. CNN trashed Bush?
I must have missed it. Was that between the 534th and 535th discussion of Mel's Big Jeebus Movie?

Seriously - who said what on CNN?

11. If Howard Stern is dumped...who could be next?
:shrug: I've always considered Howard Stern to be the Bob Barr of the left, self-serving...and somewhat inconsistent in his politics.

12. Remember when Rosie O got Phil Donohue axed?
One day - this was before the war even - she said, plain and direct:
"Come on - killing people is wrong - haven't we learned that yet?"

That statement was so commonsensical and so powerful, I am certain they axed Phil for it. They did not air another Donohue show after that moment.
