Drudge posted this yesterday. Since it appeared on Drudge, you can rest assured that by today everybody in a position of power over radio – that would be politicians – have either heard it or heard about it.
What am I talking about? It's an excerpt from the Opie and Anthony show on XM Satellite radio. These two pigs were once on broadcast radio, but they lost their jobs when they thought it might be cute to send some listeners out to have sex in a church.
Now before you get to the link .. I want to warn you what you're about to hear is vile, repulsive and disgusting. These two jerks had someone on their show named "Homeless Charlie." The person was either black or using a black accent. Charlie begins to discuss having sex with Condi Rice. In fact, what he was talking about was raping the Secretary of State. Then, in similarly vulgar terms, he talked about having sex with Laura Bush and the Queen of England. When you click on this link (if the server isn't slammed by now) you're going to hear extremely disgusting language ... so be prepared. OK, here's the link.

So .. how did you like that? Pretty pathetic, wasn't it? This was the product of two extremely immature and sick people trying to be cute by seeing just how far they can push the envelope.
Now I don't know what other radio hosts might have to say about this today, but I most certainly have something on my mind, and if you chose to read on you're going to get an earful.
These two pathetic bastards need to be removed from XM satellite radio right now. Today. No suspension. No warning. Fire them. Now.
By the end of the day today you're going to hear liberals in congress and the media referring to these two jackasses as talk show hosts. Comparisons will be drawn between them and people like Limbaugh, Hannity, Savage and myself. You'll hear the phrases "hate speech" and "hate radio" over and over again as these leftists push their Stalinist-inspired plans to destroy conservative and libertarian talk radio. By the time the dust has settled the majority of the people in this country --- who don't by the way, listen to talk radio --- will absolutely believe in their hearts that this Opie and Anthony stunt is representative of all talk radio, and these people will be eager to support their politicians in their goal to shut us all down.
Right now we have a little gem called H.R. 3302, the "Media Ownership Reform Act," in the congress. H.R. 3302 is a project of DC Democrats who know that conservative talk radio constitutes a real threat to their plans for total victory in 2008. If H.R. 3302 were to become law, talk radio as you know it would be dead inside of nine months. Period. Thanks to the antics of these two idiots there will be more congressmen who will be willing to join in this and other efforts to control broadcast radio and, incidentally, to control satellite broadcasting as well.
Over the years there have been no shortages of politicians, from both sides of the aisle, who have wanted to initiate more government control of content on satellite radio and TV. Power-hungry politicians around the world know that one of the keys to gaining and then holding political power is to control the means by information is disseminated to the population. U.S. politicians know that they're chances of exercising direct government control over the printed media – that, for those of you who went to government schools, would include newspapers – were limited to slim and none. We have the First Amendment to thank for that. But by the time broadcasting came around politicians were savvy enough to find a way around the First Amendment in their goal of controlling broadcast content. The created this ridiculous fiction of "the public's airwaves" and have exploited that asinine idea to their benefit for years. Now they're working to increase that control through H.R. 3302 and, at the same time, considering ways to spread their control to satellite radio. After all, don't those satellite signals come through those very same airwaves that the politicians claim are owned by the people?
Opie and Anthony just gave these control-freak politicians a huge bit of leverage with their crude little skit about raping the Secretary of State and the First Lady. Oh .. and throw in the Queen also. What fun. What incredible talents these two [EDIT]are.
Those of us in talk radio, both broadcast and satellite owe it to our country and to our listeners to rise up in outrage against these disgusting shock jocks and demand their immediate dismissal from XM. If XM doesn't want to act then we should consider canceling our subscriptions. I'm serious. I mean it.
And don't give me that "free speech" nonsense either. I know that many of you were educated by the government, but you don't have to go around advertising it, do you?
The free speech guarantees of the First Amendment only apply to actions by government, not by private entities. The government cannot use its exclusive franchise on the right to use force in order to prevent you from speaking our mind ... but your employer damn sure can. Not by force, mind you, but by job action.
Free speech does not mean that you have the right to say anything you damned well please on any radio station or any private satellite cannel. Whoever owns and controls that station and/or satellite has every right in the world to control content. Opie and Anthony are content. XM ought to show some responsibility ... now ... today.
Get rid of them.
Exercise some responsible control.
