More cencorship could be coming.
Nope, ever hear of XM?
If the feds bring back the "fairness doctrine" buy stock in XM.
Rush will triple his income.
THIS IS FOR REAL! Haven’t posted here in ages but my Mom was listening and told me what went on. I heard the last 20 minutes or so of his show. The show following his had more people calling in appalled at what happened.
I don’t know why the statement is not on their website.
Here is a blogger who was listening at the time.

UPDATE 2:08: Statement from the parent company read on the air. In response to a number of complaints about the tone/content of the show regarding Senator Obama’s campaign, Senator Obama will be hosting the Kevin Miller show for one three hour show at some time in the future.
Obama will host the show with no input from Miller.
At the end of the statement, KDKA apologises to anyone offended by the Kevin Miller show.
UPDATE 2:51: Trying to get a copy of the statement. Once I can, I’ll post it here. On the radio Kevin’s listeners are comparing KDKA’s decision to Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Is this the Kevin Miller who used to be on WPTF in Raleigh NC?
> Nope, ever hear of XM?
I’ve heard of it.
Never seen it.
Who’s going to have the money to buy it and pay the monthly subscriptions?
And can’t the Feds just take away the satellite channel assigned to XM and give it to someone else, say, the “Glory to Obama” channels?
Is XM beyond the regulatory powers of the government?
I didn’t think so.
I apologize to the OP then! Bygones!
Actually XM and Sirius merged a few months ago and the merged company trades under the SIRI ticker.
Not a problem... I just wanted everyone on the right page.
I went to the link. I read the comments here. What did I miss?

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”
There’s no link because it was heard on the air, not posted at their web site. But several other Freepers on this thread also say they heard it.
And it just happened to be a Republican she was speaking to...amazing!!
Well? Was Kevin in today? Was it a stunt? Any updates?
