Fairness Doctrine hammered 309-115

The Hill ^ | June 28, 2007 | Alexander Bolton

[Libloather]

“I have this old-fashioned attitude that when Americans hear both sides of the story, they’re in a better position to make a decision.”

We coulda used this numbnut during the omnibus amnesty debate.

“Rush and Sean are just about as important in the scheme of things as Paris Hilton, and I would hate to see them gain an ounce of credibility by being forced by a government agency or anybody else to moderate their views enough that they might become modestly influential or respected.”

Now, THERE is one delusional individual!

[gidget7]

“This House will say what some in the other body are not saying, that we believe in freedom on the airwaves. We reject the doctrines of the past that would have this federal government manage political speech on the public airwaves.”

Heard him say this on Levin’s show last evening. Pence is a great American!

[TomGuy]

Wow!

Did the peoples' voice resound in Washington?


Maybe the Washington politicians are getting the message that the American people are mad as hell and we still own this nation.

[The Blitherer]

Let him keep his delusions. It’ll only help us.

“Rush and Sean are just about as important in the scheme of things as Paris Hilton, . . .

What role did Paris play in today's Senate Cloture vote?

---

Yeah, that's what I thought.

[italianquaker]

3 losses for the rats today, fairness,cheney funding and amnesty, being a majority sucks haha

[ButThreeLeftsDo]

I can’t even believe that this subject was being debated!!

[neodad]

I think what they all heard the last few weeks was “All your votes are belong to us!”

[VRWCmember]

“The best way is to let the judgment of the American people decide, and they can decide with their finger,” Boehner said.

Well said, Congressman. To the democrats:

[AFPhys]

I’m surprised the House acted today on this.

[chopperman]

Looks like we got a twofer today.

[puroresu]

Does anyone have the roll call, or a link to it?

[rface]

I'd like to see a Roll Call....

"Rush and Sean are just about as important in the scheme of things as Paris Hilton"

You just go on believing that Obey. Some of your colleagues obviously don't.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Obey had to get this little cheap shot in though, comparing Rush to Hilton. Can’t face the cold fact that nobody wants to hear liberal vomit on the airwaves.

[Jim Robinson]

"We ought to let right-wing talk radio go on as they do now,”

Sheesh. No kidding. Thanks for allowing us our God-given and first amendment guaranteed right to free speech.

[bilhosty]

well is this not a agaood day? first the immigratio thing went down to defeat and now this. I liked this quote but it is very scary as well.

“there is little danger of the FCC restricting conservative radio while George W. Bush is president.”

I wonder how our backstabber GOP Senators are going to vote on this when it goes to the Senate. Something tells me they are going to support it whether they want to or not.
