Howard Stern Fires Back At Andy Dick For Anti-Semitic Remarks (AUDIO)

Radio host Howard Stern has never held back when it comes to saying what he feels, and this time it's with good cause.

Stern fired back at troubled comedian Andy Dick, who went on an anti-Semtic rant on the Greg Fitzsimmons show on Tuesday, calling Stern "a shallow, money-grubbing Jew," reports Radar.

Dick also reportedly said of Stern, "I have no problem with his big fat hook nose ... and his money-grubbing, miserly Jewishness."

Dick told Fitzsimmons that Stern "used to be a really great friend" but is furious with the self-proclaimed "King of All Media" after he hung up on him during a call-in appearance with Charlie Sheen earlier this year, and took shots at him with co-host Robin Quivers afterwards.

Stern was told about Dick's comments by one of his listeners while on air, but wasn't surprised Dick would sink so low.

"Yeah, well that's where people like to go," Stern said. "It kind of points out where people's heads really are ... And let me point this out there isn't a moment in my life I don't know that, that is what is in people's heads ... It always comes down to the Jew. And scumbags like Andy Dick, and I hadn't heard this yet, but I know what's in their heads anyway."

Stern continued telling Dick to get his act together, telling his listeners, "I guess Andy's downward spiral continues, and now he's blaming me for all his problems ... Stop looking for handouts you f**king wacko, stop waiting for the Jew to give you a job!"

This isn't the first time Dick has resorted to racist words, in 2006 he eventually apologized for going on a racist rant using the N-word at a Los Angeles comedy club.

Dick, who has been in and out of rehab for drug and alcohol problems and even appeared on "Celebrity Rehab" with Dr. Drew Pinsky in 2008, was arrested in 2010 after being accused of grabbing a bouncer's crotch, as well as groping and kissing a male club goer. The comic was ordered by a West Virginia judge to stand trial beginning January 17, 2012, for the two felony counts of sexual abuse in the first degree.

As of late, Dick's legal problems have made far more headlines than his career, he was most recently arrested in May at a restaurant in Temecula, CA for disorderly conduct while allegedly under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

The interview Andy gave was like that text message that should have never been sent many of us have written when high or drunk, and i bet he is ashamed that he commented it so sloppy.
It´s a hard world, and some cannot handle all the things that goes on - not a good enough excuse, of course, because we all live in it. In certain that Andy is NOT a racist.

Howard´s defence was not a good either, too explosive. What i don´t like about all the racist stereotypes is that people are always reminding each other of them , so there will never be a fresh start, EVER.

Actions, and Reactions can be controlled it you have discipline, but i don´t so i know exactly how wrong things can get when all feelings explode and the panic comes creeping, when you struggle to find the right words and it´s like grasping for straws in the wind.

Andy Dick is like a character of Andy Kaufman, only even more blatant and obnoxious. My theory is that he really is a good guy that fu*ked up properly.

With all the words i want to say, i respect Howard - some things i don´t agree with, but some shows are really funny.

The Andy Dick Show is up there with the great sketch-programs. I still want it to get released on dvd.

Wish I could discern a point from all that.

Stern is not and has never been racist. I do, however, seriously question the people who defend Andy Dick in this situation.

I listen to Howard Stern every day - and I heard Andy Dick and Greg Fitzsimmons - it was a revolting display of anti-Semitism and not disguised as humor. It was a diatribe of hatred. No one of the Jewish faith deserves to hear such slurs made about him or her - regardless of whether the "general public" likes or dislikes him. That anyone could turn such hatred into a chance to bash Howard Stern as "well, he deserves it for his radio show content" displays the same anti-Semitic beliefs wrapped in a holier than thou comment. Hate his show. Hate his content. He doesn't deserve to have the public approve of Andy Dick's comments as a way of slamming him. (Hiiiiii Freeeedddddd.) ;)

Howard Stern is a racist, sexist piece of garbage. How many times has this racist admitted he harbors bad feelings about blacks because his parents wouldn't do the white flight thing, and therefore Stern ended up at a school surrounded by black people. I don't get why that's a bad thing, being black and all, so ask Howard Stern to explain himself on that. He was profiled on news shows and has said so on air so it is public record.

You don't get a pass to say such things by hiring Quivers. In fact, that makes it worse. Following a pimp to the strip club with the label "King of all Blacks" was unforgivable. Stern has spent a career being a lot lower for longer, so if he has to be on the receiving end of this kind of garbage when his whole career is about degrading women and minorities then how dare he complain? It's okay when he's a nasty piece of work, but bad for society when someone else does the same to him? Howard, you are worse for society -- because no one ever stands up against your filth and they really need to explain to the rest of us why they don't.

I don't listen to Howard Stern much, but It's obvious his jibes are not fueled with hateful invective.

Don't liken him to Andy Dick.

Im trying to remember if I ever found Andy Dick hilarious. Im serious struggling with that this morning. I cannot remember one time when this guy ever made me laugh. I cannot remember what show he was on or any of the jokes he did. I remember I hated this guy on site - he was loud, crazy and he was out of his mind on something. This guy never impressed me. Didnt know about his drug and alcohol problems or that he is in rehab or getting fined..... I actually find that hilarious.

You know, what an odd world we live in. The concept of censorship keeps shifting, nudity and swearing is common place, but racial slander seems to really invoke all kinds of horror. Yet if we fire it at Arabic types because of handful of Islamic zealots that's okay. Once upon a time we fought for the right for freedom of speech. Well, fact is somewhere along the line we won that right to freedom of speech, but somehow people can not learn to just ignore what they don't want to listen to. Comedians walk a thin line but manage to get away with a lot of trash talk simply because they emulate what ordinary everyday people say in streets, cafes, and at home and put a humorous twist to it. People who whine and complain about who said what about whom simply lack the fortitude to let it roll off their backs. Opinions are only a person's perspective, you can either consider it or toss it away.

How can Andy Dick be anti-semitic if he's Jewish too? I know I read on Wikipedia a long time ago that he was as a host of other sites stated he was as well. But, I just went to his page on Wikipedia and that line is no longer there. Very odd. But yeah, people can have self-hating issues but don't want to admit it. However, they will lash out at another person who is similar in some way and tell them what they hate about them. It happens.

"...stop waiting for the Jew to give you a job!"

Go Howard!

So fing true. I'd say Andy is finished, but he's been finished for years now.

If he ever even started.

He is a pathetic young man, but no more disgusting and pathetic than Mr. Stern. They are both gross, and not very funny. Mr. Stern...do not dish it out if you can't take it.

Interesting that the man who makes his living dissecting others and putting others down is sensitive to comments from others,about his person. He can dish it out but can't take it! Crybaby!!

So, you are defending Andy Dick's comments! Brilliant move.

Not defending Mr. Dick's comments, but, I am against Mr Stern's hypocrisy!

Stern is outdated and not even funny anymore. Besides, who is he to criticize anyone for shocking comments?

Andy Dick has made a career out being a Dick. So why be surprised when he is one?
