Howard Stern Exposes the Idiocy of the Occupy-Wall-Street Protestors

This audio clip has some hilarious remarks by some of the Occupy Wall Street protestors. (Warning: it's not always G-rated.) I suspect that Stern's staff did some serious cherry-picking--that the protestors we hear on the clip were not a representative sample. Instead they probably were some of the most idiotic of the total sample interviewed. Still, the clip is darn funny. Also interesting is the fact that Stern seems strongly to oppose the protestors. I wouldn't have guessed that before hearing the clip.

Wow. Dumbfounding answers. Or perhaps the word I'm looking for is dumb.

When we hear stuff like this, it's easy to think "dumb kids." But I can't ignore the fact that the dumb kids are learning the ideas from someone.
That's where the battle for the future has to be fought.

Actually, it is not all that surprising. They have been taught dependency from birth -- Absentee fathers, indulgent state, "rights-based" rather than "responsibility-based" cultural indoctrination. We should not be surprised. You get that for which you pay and promote.

Since Howard Stern fled from broadcast radio to satellite radio in order to escape the bureaucratic power of the FCC and the MSM executive class, I don't find it surprising that he would oppose the "Occupy" crowd.
On satellite radio, Stern has no safety net. He needs to bring in paying subscribers, not just transient listeners. He's gotta work damned hard to maintain, let alone grow, his audience.
The "Occupy" crowd is pro-government. Government would LOVE to regulate satellite radio. Howard Stern hates being regulated. Therefore...

The Occupy crowd does not realize that it's pro-government. They think they're all for freedom: they are sticking it to the man. They might well like Howard Stern for his transgressiveness. It would never occur to them that in our mainstream culture, Stern is being transgressive in ridiculing them.

I disagree with that.
I think they'd denounce Howard Stern as being "sexist" and "racist", not to mention Jewish.
If there's one thing the "Occupy" crowd rallies around, it's political-correctness.

We have different views of who these people are. I think you're confusing them with an entirely different set of leftists. I could be wrong... in fact I must certainly be partly wrong because a group this large and unfocused can't possibly be monolithic in their politics... but I'll stick with my view of the general vibe of the crowd.

Um seems to be the main concern for these people. Down with the Um!

By all accounts, the man works as hard for his success as anyone. His reaction to the Occupiers is hardly surprising
That being said, Stern jumped the shark for me when he got divorced. I always thought the magic of his show was the tension between his being committed to saying whatever he was thinking, and his commitment to his wife. A similar tension between what he wanted to say and what the FCC allowed him to say was just as essential in my opinion, to the recipe. With both gone, he is simply what he is, a guy who runs off at the mouth, and a tall, ugly and hugely successful man who was free to do whatever he wanted with whomever he wanted. Not nearly as interesting to me.

If I were interviewing someone who doesn't know what he wants, I'd ask him how he knows that the others don't want something that he objects too.

I'm not much of a Stern-Watcher, but it's my understanding that he didn't have much say in the matter.
