Sirius Satellite Radio host Howard Stern supports the merger of his network with XM Satelitte Radio and is fuming at Democratic opposition on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) panel.
After FCC commissioners announced they have reached a deal to approve the merger of Sirius (NASDAQ:SIRI) and XM (NASDAQ:XMSR), Stern ranted about Democrats’ ‘gangsterism’ and ‘communism’ and the obstacles to the merger.
Stern described a phone conversation he had with his agent, who he described as a “liberal Democrat kind of guy.”
“I go, ‘That’s it!’” Stern said. “[I] go, ‘You know what Don, I’ve voted Republican and I’ve voted Democrat. I have vowed I will never vote for a Democrat again. I don’t give a [expletive] – no matter who they are. I don’t care if God becomes a Democrat.’ I said, ‘I backed Hillary Clinton, I backed Al Gore, I backed John Kerry. I am done with them.’”
Stern took it a step even further and called Democrats on the FCC “communists” and referred to their tactics as “gangsterism.”
“The fact that these Democrats on the FCC are communists,” Stern said. “They’re for communism. They don’t want to see companies – this is gangsterism. I said, ‘This is crazy.’”
The FCC commission is a five-member panel made up of three Republicans and two Democrats. The Democrats include Jonathan Adelstein and Michael Copps. The Republicans include FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, Robert McDowell and Deborah Taylor Tate. Tate had been the swing vote on the proposed merger and on July 24 The Wall Street Journal reported she would vote in favor of the merger.

July 24th, 2008 at 12:27 pmThis has no point with this Stern posint, I had to get it out here for Dollardites:
BERLIN (AP) - Sen. Barack Obama scrapped plans to visit wounded members of the armed forces in Germany as part of his overseas trip, a decision his spokesman said was made because the Democratic presidential candidate thought it would be inappropriate on a campaign-funded journey.
The spokesman, Robert Gibbs, said Thursday that Obama made his decision out of respect for the servicemen and women, but Sen. John McCain’s presidential campaign immediately criticized the move.
“Barack Obama is wrong. It is never inappropriate to visit our men and women in the military,” said Brian Rogers, a spokesman for the Republican contender.
Obama’s decision raised a number of questions because the visit, which had been scheduled for Friday, never appeared on the schedule of events distributed to reporters who are accompanying him on his travels.
The first word from the campaign about its existence was Gibbs’ statement.
Obama had been planning to go to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany before a flight to Paris. Gibbs said the stop was canceled because Obama decided “it would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign.”

My comment is, while campaigning he can visit VA facilities, nursing homes, hospitals, but won’t visit our wounded, because the piece of shit knows those wounded vets know he has spit on them and their efforts, and won’t vote for him, so he won’t admit they exist. It is much easier to ge the senile farrts in hiomes to vote for him
BASTARD!!!!
July 24th, 2008 at 12:54 pm“it would be inappropriate to make a stop to visit troops at a U.S. military facility as part of a trip funded by the campaign.”
and he just figured this out in Paris? BS. He wants me to believe he never evaluated his trip activities until the day before even though the sked had been out for the reporters. FSoS.

July 24th, 2008 at 1:16 pmGreg Its not howards fault if the company is ran by assholes, but i agree thats pretty shady and I wish you woulda sued them for a lot of dough. As always, i cant understand why anyone backed any liberals, but I guess sterns comments are cool with me.
July 24th, 2008 at 2:28 pmHoward is just now seeing that LIB=Commy. Well we don’t call them libtards for nothing. Tell us over here on the right something we don’t already know asshole!
July 24th, 2008 at 3:37 pmBetter late than never!
July 24th, 2008 at 4:00 pmWell being a long-time listener of the Howard Stern show I don’t know how anybody takes his political positions seriously, still a great show though. I do know he’s all for destroying Iran, he’s said that several times but him being a Jewish man and all accounts for that.
July 24th, 2008 at 5:16 pmone more voice who is against the demcraps and has an audience is always a voice we need. many listeners of radio personalities will take what they say to heart, if he also starts openly opposing Nobama, all the better.
July 24th, 2008 at 6:16 pmThis depraved-degenerate can bad mouth libs all day long. Just don’t start talking about conservatism, morals and values. GOP type conversations.
