So you think Howard Stern's fans would step up like this if he asked them to?

you sure, they've done some wacky stuff for him, you don't think they'd burn down the homes of supporters of his enemies and engage in fierce street battles if he asked?

No, I'm sure that Stern listeners have all the courage their convictions deserve. However, the average Stern listener is more likely to blow their own house up than blow up someone else's (although, to be fair, trailers are easier to destroy than stationary houses).

They made a comedy routine out of Oklahoma City the day it happened, and I wouldn't be surprised if they did the same with 9-11. Why wouldn't they kill on Howard's command?

that's true, many homes in pashtunistan are actually designed with resisting rpg and small arms attacks in mind... trailers just ignite like beer cans stuffed with oily rags.

i had no idea stern fans were so hardcore... seems hard to imagine people in North America running out and killing after a radio command, but maybe i'm just sheltered.
