They've been suspended for 30 days for saying they wanted to rape Condaleeza Rice . Now whether you agree or disagree with her politics, it shouldn't have any bearing on your opinion on Rape, and the promotion of such .
Who listens to their crap anyway ?

BTW, I realize it was said on their 'satelite' program, but since when is it acceptable to promote Rape ?

What the heck do some of you find humorous about RAPE ? There's a million topics to be funny about. . . Rape is not one of them !!!

I realize also that it was a supposed homeless man who said it, but they also joined in and added to it . IRRESPONSIBLE and HATEFUL too . Do I want Legislation? NO . But I do want common sense by both management and sponsors .

Questionable material is one thing...like Howard Stern (growing up in NJ all my life...I love that guy).....but Opie and Anthony have taken it tooooo farrrr!

EDIT - Hey...DMHobbies...the DJ'S and the PROGRAM MANAGER are ALL RESPONSIBLE for what goes out over the air....yeah yeah yeah..I know it's satellite...BUT THEY ARE STILL RESPONSIBLE!!!

I think we have freedom of speech and we start taking away these freedoms we should start with the rappers who say stuff like this all the time and destroy millions of young kids.
Personally I would have never known about what they said or who they are had it not been all over the media. What they said was disgusting to say the least. I blame the people that listen to the trash for allowing this type of trash talk to manifest. But I don't think that they should have the right of free speech taken away by being fired seems to liberal for me.Depending on what is in their contract it should be left to the people that hired them
People need to stop listening maybe the ratings will drop and they will fade away they were hired for their trash talk. I do not support Rape and admire Condoleeza Rice but
I don't want our rights to be taken away.
By the way haven't seen Jessie Jackson or his side kick Al Sharpton speaking out about this one, have I missed something here?

First of all anyone who thinks they should be fired is an idiot because none of you even have the incident correct you ignorant morons. The word rape was never used once, Opie and Anthony never said anything about rapign anyone, they had a guest named Homeless Charlie who said he would like to have sex with Condi and she would probably be horrified if she had to sleep with him he also mentioned punching her in the face, people interpretted this as rape, well that is there problem, that is not how i took it. Also, it happened on XM and you have to pay to listen to them, so if you were listening, you were paying and you should know what you are paying for and sometimes they can be "offensive." If you do not like there humor cancel your subscription and dont try and tell me what I can and cannot listen to. If you do not like it, change the channel, are you smart enough to realize that you have the freedom to change the channel? Or are you retarded? You people sicken me, all of these special interest group cowards sicken me, you are all a bunch of hypocrite cowards. Dont try and tell me what I can and cannot listen to just because you do not like it. Obviously none of you are listeners since you had the story wrong, no one makes you listen to it so just shut your stupid mouths and grow up. It is freedom of speech, it is America, DEAL WITH IT!

I listen to this supposed crap. I love it. You have some of your facts wrong. They did not say they wanted to rape Condaleeza Rice some homeless man they were talking to did. Why should they be fired.

They should be fired. Why would you joke about raping a woman. If they had daughters and a man on the street walked up to them and said I want to rape your daughters, wives etc...They would be ready to press charges and would want other things to happen. People you can not say whatever you want and think you get away with it. You reap what you sew. I was listening to them right after the Imus thing and they said something like they wish someone would try to fire them over making a foolish statement...Well fellas be careful what you wish for...HAHAHAHA

I did not hear the comments, but read something on it. I thought it was a homeless person they had on their show.
I would leave it up to their employers as to whether they should be fired. I find what was said detestable !!!
They were fired from a show in Boston for saying the mayor of Boston died, so IF they said this, it would not surprise me.
But I would leave it up to their employer to decide on their firing.
PS: Where are Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson on this???
Hear the crickets????

No, America has freedom of speech, and as you said it was not them. Would you penalize a Broadway Show for something an audience member said.
You don't want an answer to this question since you have already made up your mind on the issue. So why don't you say, "Who agrees with me?"

They shouldn't be fired over this.
I can't stand them myself.
To get rid of them the people must stop listening.
Had they "incited" a rape or violence, then the issue might be different.

You haven't figured out by now that such are the ways of left-wing liberal lunatics? They resort to criticism, excessive name calling and mudslinging. Not to mention this is satellite radio.
Maybe Don Imus, Howard Stern and their cronies can join these two morons together and continue to make us conservatives look great!

Wow, you and I aren't on the same page today. I am disgusted by what they said, and if sponsor's pressure forces them off, then so be it. But they are on satellite radio, and I don't have to listen or pay for it if I don't want to. I am afraid of the proverbial "slippery slope" if we demand their termination. The precedent could be turned against us. Sorry, but I must be consistent with the conservative value of letting the free market determine itself.

Scary isn't it? Free speech I suppose. Just like it applied to Don Imus?
Frag the terds...
A Homeless Guy Charlie? He is part of their regular act and is no more Homless than you or I !! (Well I can only speak for me there). Freedom of speech was not intended to allow "Hate and Violent Crimes" advocasy. No, we are not attempting to Censure Radio. I find Bob and Tom hysterical and they belittle BOTH SIDES !!! I do not recall them ever advocating "Rape" as a means to be funny. Come on folks.....
So Pastor, I ask you to check YOUR FACTS...
Now what would you say if Rush Limbaugh under the name "Bo Snerdly" said he wanted to beat and rape Hillary? Think there would be consequences? God I hope so.....
