Heck, let Rush or Anne do shows on NPR. Heck, I'm helping to pay for it, I want my views aired on there.

Exactly.

I love the Fairness Doctrine!

Let Newt Gingrich have equal time on NPR. Let's embrace it. Let's love it. Who is with me?

[television is just wrong]

with some of the people we have in congress and senate, YES, we need term limits.

I’m a student of history. We’ve seen this play 30 times already and we know the ending. It’s the same ending we saw the 29th time we saw the play.

The advocates of the Socialist Utopia insist that it could work if only they can silence the opposition. If Marxism/Collectivism/Communism is so great, why do they have to lock everyone in, silence all dissent and shoot anyone who tries to jump across the Berlin Wall?

Leftists in America are just arrogant enough to think that it didn’t work before because they weren’t in charge.

Some people, and I assume E Edwards is among them, live, eat and breathe politics .. for them that’s all there really is that’s important in life. Oh, maybe family, too.

*ahem* - anybody going to obey the Rules?!? (I don’t have a good photo of Ann linked)

Elizabeth Edwards, wife of Democratic presidential contender John Edwards, raised the roof on this emerging campaign against conservative punditry by phoning in to MSNBC’s “Hardball” on Tuesday to debate right-wing icon Ann Coulter.

HOGWASH! Edwards called MSNBC at the behest of the show's producers in order to harass Ann Coulter; there was no debate, it was Edwards trying to get Ann to leave poor Silky alone. Debate, my a$$!!

self ping for follow up

[latina4dubya]

will the Fairness Doctrine balance the television medi—which is controlled by liberal thought, or is it only for talk radio—because it’s controlled by conservative thought?

I thought the rule applied to Ann as the author, not one of the subjects.

The Dems should hire Chavez to draft a new Fairness Doctrine law. He is an authority on the matter.

Thanks. At least in France, the left wing has the courage to call themselves what they really are: Socialists. That’s the bedrock of leftism...stifle all dissent.
