Not that I particulary care for Mr. Stern. However, I waiting for the Jack Booted Thugs from the Bush administration to start burning books too.

I was going to say welcome to the Bushes Taliban -for those of you that thought that mixing religon with politics would have no bad effect this is just the start.and lets not forget that he wants to change the constitution to destroy gay peoples right to marry(if they are not worried that they do have these rights, then why the need for a constitutional amendment)even though it will destroy the 14th amendment in the process(that is the one that granted equal rights to ALL people under the law and later ended segregation under the case of Brown vs the board of education).The Idea of a civil union will also be struck down because in the case of Brown vs the board of education the court ruled that seperate but equal is not acceptable and constitutes segregation.this is the reason that even the conservative judges that opisition groups have tried to get to end the marriages in SanFrancisco have refused to hear the cases,they simply know that the 14 amendment gives them no choice in the matter but to rule california's law(and many other states) is illegal and unconstitutional and they do not want to be the ones to make gay marriage legal.

this is a new take on things- and one that should at least make you think

You can't attack anyone but ClearChannel for the stern issue. ClearChannel in no way shape or form has to give him the right to say what he wants. That's a company policy.

I'm not attacking anyone-just found that intresting.as for them not having to let him say whatever he wants -this is true -but how far will they be able to go if the general public thinks they censor anyone that does not support the bush agenda?
and make no mistake -I have not forgot that the bush camp started the whole "its unamerican to question the president"thing back at the start of the Iraq war.
