Phil The Thrill Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 FYI - Kim Goldman was a guest on Howard Stern today and shared her POV about O.J. Simpson’s comments on Twitter. This led to Howard ranting on OJ’s Twitter account: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/howard-stern-wants-oj-simpson-kicked-twitter-1224935 A lot of people joked about OJ being on Twitter. This interview shows the gravity of a very sad situation:
Saxum Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 I heard OJ wants Howard kicked off so feeling is mutual.

bbb Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Following Tim Graham on twitter, he seems like he was mentioned here? I thought he was actually on the show, but I guess not.
BillsfaninChicago Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 I love Howard and can’t say enough great things about what he has done in his career BUT... it seems a tad bit hypocritical of him to want to silence anyone considering the years he spent playing the free speech card when he was getting harassed by the FCC. 4
row_33 Posted July 17, 2019 Posted July 17, 2019 Howard played solidly to the most racist tropes and skits throughout the whole trial.

Twitter is a private company and can do whatever they want. Especially to a murderer and convicted criminal. There are plenty of people who have been banned from Twitter. The FCC is a government entity, and the Government can NOT infringe on free speech. Especially when it's just fart and dick jokes. Two completely different situations. 3

My point (and I hate to even get into this because I love Howard) is that it is a bit hypocritical of Howard Stern to use the philosophy of free speech when it is to his advantage but then want someone else silenced. He has given a platform to people like the Westboro Baptist church as well as an evil racist like Daniel Carver so it does go beyond just sophomoric humor. 1

You don't have the right to say whatever you want, and you certainly don't have the right to do it without consequences. You just have the right not to be imprissioned or sanctioned by the government for it. 1

I consider myself a huge fan but agree. CLEARLY, Howard hates OJ (and that’s fine). It’s tough for him to talk about silencing anyone though. He has made a career on free speech.
ALLEN1QB Posted July 18, 2019 Posted July 18, 2019 (edited) My heart goes out to the Goodman’s. Howard is not funny anymore. He & O.J need to just go away. Edited July 18, 2019 by ALLEN1QB 1
