Changes

Stern's shows have also featured political commentary. Although Stern used to be a self-proclaimed libertarian, in recent years he has abandoned that philosophy and embraced positions that are in direct opposition to libertarian ideology, such as government regulation of corporations, radical environmentalism, gun control, income redistribution through higher taxation, and government funding for abortion and embryonic stem cell research that involves the killing and cloning of human embryos. He also considers Ralph Nader to be one of his heroes. He is also a supporter of Michael Moore and was very vocal in his endorsement of Moore's propaganda filmed that was released in June of 2004. Moore was even a guest on Stern's show the week of the film's release and called into the show a day before the 2004 Election. Stern is now considered by many conservatives, libertarians, and moderates/centrists to represent the far-left of the political spectrum.

During a week vacation in February of 2004 he had read [[Al Franken]]'s anti-Bush book, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right. He told his listeners "If you read this book, you will never vote for [[George W. Bush]]. I think this guy is a religious fanatic and a Jesus freak, and he is just hell-bent on getting some sort of bizzaro agenda through -- like a country-club agenda -- so that his father will finally be proud of him ... I don't know much about Kerry, but I think I'm one of those 'Anybody but Bush' guys now. I don't think G.W. is going to win. What do you think about that?"
