Well duh. One thing is not supporting businesses for discrimination in the workplace based on someone's sexual orientation; the other is not supporting businesses that support hate speech.
That you think these things are at all comparable...

Read again - you interpreted "supporting gay marriage" as "being gay". The subconscious in action.
Nope. It's 2014. I'm fucking past the idea of people claiming they support the right of homosexuals to exist as legit people and legit citizens, but don't support gay marriage.
You don't support gay marriage, then you don't support gay people.
If you don't support gay marriage you clearly don't support gay people. There is no reason to not support it other than homophobia.
I hate that Sirius is using this incident for their benefit. From what I understand, Anthony has been saying mildly-racist to full-blown racist things for years on the show, but now Sirius choses to take a stand? Most likely, since their (expensive) contract was set to expire in October, Sirius was already considering ways to justify to fans any decision not to renew and this incident simply gave them an excuse. So, despite supporting a show with racist content for years, now they can save money and suddenly look anti-racist.
The good ol "those intolerant of bigotry are the true bigots". Never gets old.

He... looks like an old racist Johnny Knoxville.
^^Just tweeted, him and Bailey Jay at the Compound. Not exactly the walking wounded there.
huh
Well, not really the best example when the racist in question amassed millions of dollars and has kept his job doing racist rants since 2008.
Many racists have made millions exploiting their poison but that doesn't stop their downfall from being a good thing and one that should be encouraged to spread. It is nice to know that Twitter will enable this to happen at a much more rapid rate with no signs of stopping or slowing. It is a shame he was allowed to fester for as long as he was but hey, a win is a win.
He did invite his black friend to his 4th of July party at least.
One of the good ones, no doubt.
This went viral. All of a sudden people who had never even heard of him knew he was a racist prick.

Well we know what he is down for.
Only person good on it when he was there was Patrice imo. That's the only time I ever cared to listen, never really heard any of their shows without him.

It's a possibility. The other half of Opie & Anthony, Opie, has been vocal about leaving the company and heading over to the podcast world. What I believe is Sirius used his latest tirade to get rid of a headache, the channel overall, and thought the backlash would be minimal. But I'm sure the O&A hardcore fans are not making the backlash minimal and pain free.

I have no idea how a show founded on real time fan interaction functions as a podcast, honestly.

Live streaming isn't exceptionally hard.
I don't understand your comparison. Both of the people in the first pic are smiling.

Agreed. But going from thousands of interactions to, what, hundreds? Not sure it would be the same.
Though I'm sure these guys could figure it out.
dave is ok
aztek is ok
He has one of the quickest comedic minds I've ever heard.
Call him a racist, but don't call him unfunny. Even standup comedians are in awe of his ability to pull out a joke in a fraction of a second
I know you ain't talking about a podcast.
"Interactions"? Most of the show is just them talking. Listeners calling in is the worst part.

It's just funny seeing this dude pull a Colbert, all like "hey guys, look at my black friend. See I'm cool! There's no problem here!"

If I got 3 mil a year I'd co-host Stormfront's podcast and drag your through the mud specifically.

I've fallen for a nice Aryan girl who has most of her teeth and makes the funniest facebook posts.
You guys do realize that Anthony has his own fully functional studio with tv cameras and production materials. It is not like if they decide to move the show to that it would be them talking into a laptop microphone and hoping they get people to buy it.
They would still get thousands, hate to hurt peoples feelings but its not like these guys have only been doing things for a few years.
They would probably lose the guests that are not their comedian friends if they went indie but most of their fans I doubt would care since the interviews are more a bonus to their conversations about the topic of the day
Will be interesting to see what tomorrow is like, Opie and Jim are fully capable of carrying the show on their own

He is lightning fast, it's unbelievable. He nearly kills Jimmy when he gets one off.
There is one bit that was so brilliant and hysterical that I refuse to believe it wasn't set-up. It involved the 3 stooges, and was maybe one of the top 10 shameful hysterical laughs of my life.

Meh. I'll call him both.
I don't know if this is the right thread to be shitting on someone for the way they were born.

That one.
The best machinegun-fast line he ever had was when they had Jim Jeffries on. Jim Jeffries, they found out, has an irrational fear of Bananas. He can't be near them or in the same room. He just acts weird about it. One day, Jim was talking about being molested by a Scoutmaster when he was a kid. Jimmy Norton asks "What's the name of this scoutmaster?" And Ant chimes in "Ben Anna?" killed me.
Lmao brilliant.
The thing is, the "acceptable boundaries" are only about not being a hateful bigot or racist. No one is losing their jobs over right leaning beliefs that aren't founded in blindly hating people for no reason.
Right leaning beliefs you can have and preach and keep your job no problem:
- gun rights
- trickle down economics
- limited government
- pro-life
- national defense (even to the point of offense)
- low taxes
- pro death penalty
- strong christian foundation
Things you can't do:
- call an entire race of people savages because one reacted poorly to you taking creeper photos
- attempt to deny a class of people equal marriage rights and protection under the constitution
