Al Franken and AAR just aired the S*#$ word...unbleeped!

[Buddyblazon]

Franken is playing "Lies..." book on tape today. They didn't bleep out the word "shit".

So...will there be fall out? If there is...what will happen?

[one_true_leroy]

1. hasn't that been said on network TV already?

[johnfunk]

17. No shit! I think it has, after 10PM...

... and it's after 10 in Fallujah, so what's the big diddlyo?

[Buddyblazon]

18. Hey...take a step back...

no "dildo's" here...let alone "big" ones. Just a lot of...SHIT...and FUCK.

Oh..."diddlyo". I don't like to correct people...but I think the word is "dealyo". ;)

[StClone]

None

Internet stuff is not public airways and not FCC controlled to as great of an extent. That is why Stern is going on satellite.

[Walt Starr]

2. I've been listening all day and have only heard bleeps.

The FCC regulated verbiage has all been bleeped oout.

:shrug:

[OneMoreDemocrat]

19. I have been listening on the radio and I did indeed hear the.........

"S" word.

I almost swallowed my knitting.

[Buddyblazon]

20. So I'm NOT crazy...

OMD...thank YOU...OMD!

[OneMoreDemocrat]

21. While I would love to be able to verify your level of..........

craziness, the only thing I can safely say is that you aren't hearing unvarnished phantom 'shits' coming from your radio.

Or would that be phantom unvarnished 'shits'?


:hi:

[Buddyblazon]

23. I'd be really freaked out...

if the shits were varnished.

[Gloria]

3. Chris Matthews said "S..t" while "covering" the Clinton Library

opening. He quickly caught himself...I have it on tape

[Rambis]

4. Jesus F***** Christ they said shit on the radio?

It is part of everyday language and I don't find it one bit offensive. The idea that america is so innocent that we can't hear words like this is really ludicrous. While we are at it if we would show a naked man or woman on TV once in a while maybe we wouldn't be so damn weird about shit like this. Maybe some fundies would die of shock.

[Buddyblazon]

7. Hey...I don't find it offensive....

But the FCC and their present witch hunt may find it "completely immoral". ESPECIALLY because it doesn't come from one of their "ringers".

[Rambis]

10. Sorry

I wasn't implying you found it offensive it is just so silly that anyone worries about this stuff. If this were a real democracy they would let people say what they wanted and if it offended anyone the "free market" would take care of it right?

[Buddyblazon]

11. I completely agree....

my Father has his Doctorate in information systems...my Mom has a Masters in social work. They both have mouths that would make sailors blush.

Words are words. With that said...using curse words doesn't make one seem very...whats the word...eloquent. But I use "fuck" as a litmus test. When I say it in the company of someone I've just met, their reaction tells me a lot about whether they're a person I'd want to be around again.

And I just can't have a good time with someone that freaks out when I say FUCK!

[Rambis]

16. Fuck yeah!

:thumbsup:

[Buddyblazon]

5. First of all....

I'm listening on 760 AM here in Denver.

Second...they bleeped the F-bomb a few times. But that was definitely a "shit" I heard. I was in a mid-sentence typing frenzy...upon finishing, immediatelymstarted this thread.

I guess "SHIT"...is not as bad as..."FUCK"...but...fuck...saying shit can't be good.

They're in the fucking shit now! ;)

[masaka___]

6. Free speech is alive and well in this country.

</sarcasm>

How pathetic is it that we even have to worry about saying "shit"? Down with the FCC.

[candy]

8. Ah shit,I missed it! n/t

[Buddyblazon]

9. FUCK!

[VolcanoJen]

12. They should be fined by NASCAR, and have their point total reduced!

Ohhh... sorry, wrong topic. }(

[Buddyblazon]

14. Unfortunately VJ....

I don't think AAR is running NASCAR yet...me thinks they're still running amateur figure eight tracks.

BLAM!!! :nuke:

Randy just T-boned Al.

[Liberal In Texas]

13. I think AAR

...should watch their p's and q's.
The neocons would love to hit the lefty radio affiliates with big fines.

[Buddyblazon]

15. Thats what I'm saying....

If Oprah can get away with talking about "tossed salad" on the air...and Stern can't...then AAR needs to be VERY careful.

I would not be shocked to hear about a fine over this. You know the right will push it.

[newyawker99]

28. Hi LibInTexas!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[Buddyblazon]

29. Oh yea....

I don't know if I have enough posts to welcome you....

but WELCOME LibInTexas!!!

We need all the Libs in Texas we can get.:toast:

[Liberal In Texas]

31. Thank you

Glad to be here.

Lurked for ever so long, now I'm registered and all that.


And MAD AS HELL AND WON'T TAKE IT ANYMORE...

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

22. if they get fined, limbaugh should, too

he uses the phrase "add-a-dick-to-me" all of time when referring to sex change operations

if the fcc goes after al, then we need to raise hell over the double standard

[Buddyblazon]

24. Hate Limpballs...

but thats a pretty funny saying.

You're correct...if they come down on Al...we come down on Rush.

[otohara]

25. Why Bring Attenttion to This?

within a couple of days the FCC will have thousands of complaints from fuck-head-freepers

[Buddyblazon]

26. Crap...you're right.

MODS...PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD...FROM THE ORIGINAL POSTER.

[Vidar]

27. I thought the S*#$ word was Shrub. Oh yeah, same thing.

[AuntieM1957]

30. Who cares?

The idiot in chief is buying a yacht while the rest of us work two jobs to avoid living on the street. His partner (puppetmaster) Cheney is living large on the blood of American soldiers.

We have a 10% chance of avoiding economic catastrophe. The only air left on the planet fit to breathe is under a rapidly melting polar ice cap. They're killing off species at record rates. Genetically altering what's left.

And the FCC cares if Al Franken says shit?

PLUHZ! Shit is the nicest word that comes to mind.

[Liberal In Texas]

32. Frankins says wha......

Don't call attention to it people.

All the freepers and neocons in the world monitor this site!

Dosen't matter if Rush or Square Pants get by with it, what matters is that the're out there gunning for us!

The neo's are going to always make an issue of what we do.

DELETE THE LINK, AND PRETEND IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!


I know nothing....

33. Oh My God! Oh My God!! They Said SHIT!! Oh My God! SEIZETHEM! ARREST THEM!
