And you know you are doing a serious job of twisting in regards to school kids and 9-11. I'll leave it at that.

I disagree! The person making the call is ultimately responsible for the act (free will) but why did he or she use Stern's name and not Oprah or some other public figure? Isn't it because Stern promulgates such behavior by his own? He reinforces such vile conduct through his own acts! Simon commenting that a person should lose weight if he/she wants the public to vote for him/her may be harsh but it is hardly the same as sitting on a TV show going through a dead girl's ashes and making vulgar comments. Making fun of folks with disabilities is cruel, but when a public figure does it...it reinforces that cruelness in those listening/watching! Is Stern responsible for acts of his "followers"? Was Hitler? I doubt he personally instructed each person involved how to kill and torture but it was done in his name, following his perverted philosophy...each individual shoulders responsibility for his/her acts but it's naive to say a public figure bears no responsibility! If you are really unaware of the event that I mention, go back to his earlier TV shows...I was actually a fan until the night he did that...I was sickened, revolted...just plain disgusted!
