Ron Paul should not go on Howard Stern, but Nick Gillespie should. I think going on Stern may hurt Paul a smig with conservatives. But Nick Gillespie was a excellent voice for Paul on O'reilly. That would be a much better move I think. What say you?

I don't see any danger

in RP going on the show, saying it's not his cup of tea (that type of programming) but expressing that it is not a good thing for the FCC to regulate and tell us what we can and can't listen to. Then they could move on to sound fiscal policy and sound foreign policy. Wouldn't hurt at all. I personally don't listen to Stern, mostly cause I don't have a subscription, but I know a lot of level headed, good people that do. Of course the opposition would love to point out that he is consorting with lewd folks...by the way, isn't that what they said about Jesus?

The Implications of Howard Stern Backing Ron Paul

I posted this the other day...

To get to the point, it could have a huge impact if Howard Stern supported Dr. Ron Paul, and all for the positive.

I know some may think that Stern’s listeners are some crazies, or dare I say kooks, but they are people just like Dr. Paul’s followers – good, honest, hard working, freedom loving Americans. Ask yourself whose other followers have been called the same names and more.

I know that Howard has a dirty, infantile mind for his on air personality but he's also got children, he's also honest and logical and has millions of listeners.

I believe, from being a long time listener who has sent the Howard Stern Show emails in the past about looking into Dr. Paul’s libertarian, constitutional law abiding, low taxing, system of checks and balances, non-centralized banking, sovereignty protecting, strong military, civil liberty, anti-oppression, peaceful, free market, 2nd Amendment gun rights, local government, freedom loving, self reliance, fiscally conservative, non-imperialistic, transparent government, deliverer and protector of life, free speech message that he would inherently support him.

One thing I think I know about Stern and that is he can smell a rat. Another is his mindset. I ask you Mr. Stern, getting to your radio show’s level, can you imagine how much stamina Dr. Paul must have considering all that he’s accomplished and how many kids he has all the while traveling now from state to state, speaking engagements, interviews, television appearances, doing his congressional duties. But more to the point there is no stink on this politician.

They only need to listen, as so many of us have found (or watch a youtube video or get a handout) to his message that if they haven’t heard about him soon many people will. Yes some of them are fanatical but in large groups of people that happens. Is a sports fan any less fanatical about his team than a politicians or a radio star? What about the other radio announcers, politicians and radio stars that have been caught with drugs or stealing, are their fans any less fanatical? Are they not more dangerous because the people they are following are often hypocrites? If they hear, and I hope they do, and if they listen, which I hope they will they could add so much more to the ground swelling grassroots campaign that there would be a thump in this country and the reverberations may be unstoppable.

Playing on Howard Stern’s ego, I think he would like to be part of that. I think he believes, or wants to believe that is, as he proclaims, the King of all Media, that he has an effect on people. Well show us Mr. Stern. Show us that you have smart, law abiding, peace loving, hard working, free people following you!

History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.

I think he already showed us Tuesday morning.

The campaign has been ignoring this opportunity since Monday, though.

And you're right about Howard having kids. Notice you don't hear any "Paris Hilton" BS about Howard's girls, despite Howard's wild persona? As with Dr. Paul vs. Mike Huckabee, you can tell an awful lot about a person by how his kids turn-out, and Howard's kids all seem GREAT.

The people who hate Howard invariably hate things like his excellent NEWS job on 9/11, or they hate the fact that his show broke the hillbilly-heroin story on Rush Limbaugh and thereby punctured a favored gasbag. Get over it, prudes. If Howard's show were "only about sex," the free marketplace wouldn't be paying him so damn much money. Think!!!

100% No

Ron Paul is a dignified man. He has character!
Besides, his wife would never let him.
Unlike Barb Bush who let's her 80 year old hobknob with knucklehead Bill Clinton.
I know my wife. And no way would she let me. She would lose faith in Ron Paul if he went on with H. Stern.

I'd say the same thing, if I could...

To CONSTANTLY going on Alex Jones. Going on Howard's show once, especially via telephone, doesn't pose any risk, and unless you can find a better idea to get a few million voters as a reward, you're just being silly. Various RINOs and a few Democrats have gone on the show, been endorsed, and then gone-on to win elections despite the existence of people like your wife.

Ron could handle Howard

and I don't think it would hurt his chances with conservatives.

the more publicity the better.

Yeah, this is a good idea.

Yeah, this is a good idea. If Ron were to go on I'd be afraid of what Howard would ask him.

Does my burka make my butt look fatwa?

NO, leave Fred the hell ALONE!!!

Howard (Fred) already KNOWS what not only listeners like me, but many clueless NON-listeners, think. If you want to do us some good, contact the campaign and tell them to re-get a clue they should have gotten by Tuesday at the LATEST and run ads on the show again. I repeat, DO NOT piss off Fred. DO instead try to get the official campaign to get the clue they briefly displayed over Christmas break, when they bought (VERY few!!) ads on the show's reruns.

We need to buy the right to re-air Howard's own words from Tuesday, verbatim. The campaign has the money. The only question is, do they have the guts and the good sense to take advantage of a HUGE opportunity? I'm beginning, sadly, to doubt it. But the RP campaign, NOT Fred, is the entity that needs to hear from you.

"mail@ronpaul2008.com" should get your attention, NOT Fred. Leave Fred the hell alone if you want us to win.

Paul would be great on

Paul would be great on Howard Stern.... there is NOTHING they haven't already said about Paul... either you can knock the man down or you can't... I think it would be an amazng conversation... they are quite like minded in some respects, and Stern has a real ability to cut through the sanctimonious crap of public relations.... a good long uninterrupted talk with Paul with millions listening.... fantastic... leapfrog right over those snot nosed NPR jackasses.

At this point, he should.

Why would Howard Stern want Nick Gillespie on his show to talk about Ron Paul?

Ron Paul should go on the show. I used to think otherwise because I thought he an Giulliani are friends. But HS is more open minded than that given his good remarks on Ron Paul. My bad for not thinking HS to be more open minded. Howard Stern may turn off some people, but he will turn on millions more. He's the Anti-Oprah and has done more to champion free speech than any broadcaster I can think of.

Free speech and obscenity are two different things

Stern is no friend to Liberty.
Licentiousness, yes. Liberty, no.

I find your version of morality obscene...

I requested that the FCC fine you for your comment.

Colony... Confederation... Republic... Nation-state... Empire... Colony...

Colony... Confederation... Republic... Nation-state... Empire... Colony...

how is he not?

how is he not a friend to liberty?

and how is obscenity not free speech?

Guiliani was on Howard Stern a few times

Guiliani was on HS a few times

i say go for it!

That makes no sense

So it might offend a couple of die hard conservatives. Would Dr. Paul really be better served to not go on the Stern show and worry about conservatives might think? I guess he could win over another 1 or 2% before the next caucus with his current trend of media exposure. Or, he could go on Stern, the King of All Media, and give all the Independents, Democrats, and Liberals who usually would not listen to a Republican debate a chance to hear his message as well...

So far, Democrats are also turing out twice as many voters as the GOP. Dr. Paul's message must transcend the Republican party if we want it to be heard.

Look at what Stern did for Sanjaya on American Idol, hahaha. Now think of the votes he could turn out if he seriously got behind a candidate.

Obscenity and freedom of speech are not two different things. One has the freedom to be as obscene as they desire as long as it dosne't infringe on another's rights. I thought that was Dr, Paul's message...

Not only that...

Kerry turned down a HS invitation just-before he LOST to Dubya. Prudes may hate Stern, but his show's honesty is what keeps literally-millions listeners like me, not "The Sybian." (If anything, that thing's depressing if you're a guy, because it shows that as far as pleasing females goes, our private parts are "obsolete"!)

PS I love the FCC joke above, but it's not such a good joke when our taxes are used politically to suppress free speech, as we saw with Howard's treatment by the bloated & censorious FCC.
