About 15 years ago, I had a good friend that lived just down the street from San Jose State University whom I would visit usually on weekend days and early weekday evenings. My personal time was restricted with college and my restaurant job which if you’ve ever had one, typically schedules staff on the busy evenings of Wed - Sat and Sunday brunch.

We’d “kick it” at his large 1 bedroom pad, popped cheap beers, play video games and listen to recorded tapes of Howard Stern, that he religiously recorded every weekday morning from 6 am - 9 am. Robin Quivers, Jackie Martling, Gary Dell’Abate, Elephant Boy, Fred Norris, Crackhead Bob, Jeff the Drunk, Melrose’ Larry Green, and a whole cast of strippers, pornstars, bums off the street, and other societal degenerates were made into hilarious characters discussing pointed reality on a comedy radio show that made it worth listening to commercials to hear what would be said next.

Before reality TV there was Howard Stern and then at the peak of his popularity (2004) he disappeared from full frontal society to take a large contract on satellite radio taking his die hard followers with him. Howard is a champion of the 1st Amendment of the constitution of the USA and great social barometer for the thoughts most Americans think but don’t ever say out loud. I wish I had the time and facilities to listen to him again, as I’d rather kill MTV, VH1, Bravo, and any other trashy/reality TV stations to listen to his show any day.

We tolerate such right-wing extremism in this country, it’s laughable.

Confront your average American with the looniest, wingnut fanaticist and they’ll chalk it up to eccentricity—as long as it’s on the right. A white man flies a plane into building for a political objective and it’s not terrorism, it’s the act of a deranged lunatic.

Useful thought experiment: Switch the channel of that television to Olbermann and darken the skin color on the man seated. Tell me the photo doesn’t run in TIME Magazine. Tell me all the blather about “2nd Amendment rights” isn’t ignored in the court of public opinion. Tell me the man in the picture is not seen for the menacing threat he so obviously is.
