If it offends you don't watch it.Simple as that.I feel the same way about Rush Limbaugh.Change the chanel, station ,turn off the T.V., Radio.
Censorship is like prohibition.We all know how that worked out.
Delta Pulls its ads from Jon Stewarts show after the Catholic League boycotts delta for airing ads on Stewarts show. Do you think Jon Stewarts show should be canceled for his attacks on Christians?

The Catholic League launched a boycott against the sponsors of the The Daily Show
in April over a segment that featured “vagina mangers.” In the segment,
which aired on April 16, Stewart mocked Fox News for criticizing the
phrase “war on women,” even though the network promoted the phrase “war
on Christmas” for years.
“What
can women do to generate the same sense of outrage from Fox as” the
alleged war on Christmas, Stewart asked. “Perhaps they could play into
the theme. Maybe women could protect their reproductive organs from
unwanted medical intrusions with vagina mangers.”
A picture of a nude women with a nativity scene ornament between her
leg appeared beside Stewart, which Donohue described as an
“unprecedented vulgar assault on Christians.”
The Catholic League is hoping to pressure Kellog’s into pulling its sponsorship of Stewart as well.

Screw the RCC, the CL and the KOC.
As for Catholics, I survived Catholic school. Why these people are allowed to run schools is beyond me. They used to whip me for not memorizing their stupid dogmatic BS in the school I went to in Ecuador. Ok so Ecuador is not a model of first world countries. Well anyone who knows the history of this idiotic religion should not be afraid to speak out.
That's why I don't listen to him.
He never shocked me in his heyday of the early '90s, but that doesn't matter. Relegation to "talk radio" surely makes him a minimal influence, anymore. Yet folks like yourself keep bringing him up, as if he's some horrible corrupter of the innocent.
Jon Stewart seems to fit that bill much more these days. He's got a highly rated show on national television aimed at the most impressionable pothead kids on the planet, after all.
It's merely the difference between "free speech" and "subsidized speech." The Bill of Rights does not guarantee that juvenile antics trying to impress the supposed "money" demographic won't cost you advertisers who do not serve that demographic exclusively.
One day soon by the looks of him, Jon Stewart is going to seem too old and serious to appeal to that demographic anymore. Then he, too, may wind up stuck on the radio. ;)

Oh, on the comparison of Limbaugh to Mahr, I think you are in apples and oranges territory. Mahr is like Coulter, having no real conviction to much of what he says and being an overblown ass for effect. Limbaugh was more of the true believer variety.
Boycotts are fine. Usually not that effective unless the person says something as offensive as the things that Rush or Glenn Beck have said; but you're certainly within your rights to boycott all you like. The First Amendment gives anyone the right to say anything. It doesn't protect them from the backlash that their words may provoke, or the consequences of that backlash. Still I think this is a non-issue in the grand scheme of things; and Jon Stewart will come through unscathed.
