The Howard Stern Show Interviews Harlem Obama Supporters: Uh Oh!

Nik Minor
The radio shock jock Howard Stern has quite possibly produced his greatest piece yet. Howard Stern, a self-proclaimed libertarian, recently asked one of the most important questions of this election: are voters voting for Obama just because he's black?

To answer this question, he sent Sal, a Howard Stern correspondent, to Harlem to interview voters on Obama. In shocking Stern fashion, the correspondent questioned Harlem Obama supporters on how they felt about the issues, substituting McCain's platform for Obama's.

With questions such as "Do you support Obama's choice of Sarah Palin to be his VP?" and "Are you more for Obama's policy because he's pro-life or because he thinks our troops should stay in Iraq and finish this war?", no one could have expected Sal to get the kind of responses he did. Amazingly though, these "informed" Obama supporters were completely unfazed by the switcheroo, emphatically agreeing with what was McCain's platform, disguised as Obama's. For anyone to believe that Obama is pro-choice, I would have thought they'd have been living under a rock. Yet, Sal spoke with 3 Obama supporters who were completely clueless on his policies and his vice presidential pick.

So to answer Howard Stern's question of whether or not some voters are voting for Obama just because he's black: if it looks, walks and sounds like a duck.........

Of course this isn't just about race. After all, I'm sure there will be some who will vote for McCain simply because he's white. The real issue is that these voters are completely uninformed and are clearly voting for Obama for reasons other than his platform. It doesn't get any more disturbing than that.

Let's just hope these 3 don't make it to the Harlem voting booths. Click here to hear the hilariously, disturbing Howard Stern piece.

    "African-Americans" are about the stupidest people on the planet thanks to affirmative action and political correctness and the loose morals of blacks.

    I am sure not all blacks are this ignorant on politics but it does show that color did play a big role in the election. It is sad that society wants the "under dog" to win regardless of experience or ability.

    @Sarah. Howard Stern is as viable a source as any of these biased, crap news stations.

    are you kıddıng me? THIS is considered NEWS??? Howard STERN is considered a VIABLE SOURCE of information about black voters??? BASED ON EASILY MANIPULATED CANDID INTERVIEWS?????

    Has anyone not seen a Jay Leno show where he goes out onto the street and collects enough candid interviews to fill two minutes with people who can't name the VP or the nation's capitol? That kind of a cheap trick entertainment is EASY to pull.

    What NEXT?? Southpark's Cartman has the next 'genius' piece of political commentary?

    This isn't about race, or even about who is generally more or less informed, or who votes for who and why. This is a blatantly crafted shock factor entertainment bit that has been taken WAY out of context.

    Howard Stern is a self-professed anti-democratic LIBERAL. He has sworn publicly never to vote democrat again, even if God campaigns on the democratic ticket. Why??? Because democrats opposed the merger between XM and Sirius radio, a move that promised him more

    That's pretty much the level of intelligence of Obama followers. When I ask people why I they are voting for Obama I never get a single response period. People just get mad at me and than call me a Racist in which I take offense to because I don't care what color the next president is going to be I care about what their going to do for our Nation, Freedom and Safety. But I don't get any answers as to why they feel Obama should be our next president. It's pretty scary!!!

    FYI: If you spell check Obama it corrects it as Osama, hmm...that's creepy!

    I'm not at all a fan of Howard Stern, but I had a good giggle when I began reading this piece. Then, I cringed realizing how horribly pathetic it is that the Obama supporters knew so little, and how it's so, so indicative of society today. Great Article!

    Colin Powell quickly lost my respect. I'm surprised and disappointed to see him doing so much spinning.
