The Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has castigated Sirius Satellite Radio’s outrageous new shock jock for his arrogance and ungodly speech. They’ve called him an “embarrassment” who “bears responsibility to retract, rethink, repent, and restate his position” after his on-air endorsement of political assassination. But the SBC — America’s largest Protestant denomination, with more than 16.3 million members nationwide — has stopped short of calling for this noxious but powerful broadcaster to be yanked off the air. In fact, the SBC now has a partnership with Sirius to beam his show to the whole planet. (Because in space radio, everyone can hear you scream.)

Howard Stern? Don’t be ridiculous — Stern doesn’t advocate political assassinations. The SBC’s new shock jock is a real worldwide media king — one with a daily television broadcast audience that, according to the New York Times [http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/08/weekinreview/08goodstein.html], has “more viewers than CNBC or MSNBC in prime time.” We’re talking about Pat Robertson, who should be taken seriously, not dismissed as a blowhard buffoon.
