Can't have hate speech, time to make an example of these talk show hosts and all those who agree with them.

I was talking about Media Matters Troll.
If you think talk Radio sucks why don’t you go hang out with your buddy Chris Matthews. I’m sure you’ll get all tingly.
>>>I think we should start by calling it what it is — censorship.
Yeah... but we need to get the liberals to call it that after we shut them down with it.
I believe if done properly, calling it censorship will stop it. The bad news is they are likely to change the ownership rules and other devious things to get talk radio shut down on the sly.
Well isn’t it odd they don’t talk about the hate speech coming from the Couric channel? I can’t wait, 1/2 hour of liberal BS, followed by a 1/2 hour of truth.

No. That isn’t how the Fairness Doctrine will be structured. Do you honestly believe that the democrats will ever allow their mouthpieces to be questioned or balanced? This is an absolute attack on free speech. Once we lose our free speech, we lose everything.
OK, maybe I wasn’t clear, I do understand.
But a counter attack is to demand time on TV News for balance.
The likely assault on talk radio is going to come by ownership rules changes, market changes, things like minority ownership, instead of frontal.
Hmmm, no mention of Err-America and the vile hated that they spew, imagine that.
If we flood the complaint system with legitimate equal time demands, the liberal broadcasters will be forced to defend the conservative viewpoints on their own dime.

No they won’t because that is NOT how the Fairness Doctrine is structured. It is designed to attack opinion. The MSM is not and will never be considered by the FCC to be opinion. Do you honestly think that the dems will allow their mouthpieces to be balanced or countered? Forget it. Look, please for goodness sake, these people are feeling their power. They are wallowing in it. They believe the best form of total and complete control is to anhilate all forms of differing opinions, i.e. conservative talk radio.
Rush is a HOOT!
I can’t imagine anyone thinking he’s a hate-monger.
If the Liberals come after talk radio they risk exposing more people to talk radio and this would simply cut into their base.
Bring it on Dims! We’ll give you equal time. We will counter your silly talking points one at a time with a good dose of truth. Then 100 million Americans will see you for what you really are - ignorant or evil.
Cute.
Hey, MediaMorons, that's because leftists have ruled NBC-ABC-CBS-PBS-NPR and virtually all of the "top 25" metro daily newspapers for decades. We had to find someplace for conservatives to hide out together while the squalid cesspools of the left continued to dominate the TV and newspaper Mediascum.
***Atlanta's Neal Boortz called Hurricane Katrina victims in New Orleans "basically a parasite class totally dependent on government for their existence."
And what exactly about either one of these statements is factually incorrect?

Right wing radio was going full blast during the last two elections...2006 and this year, and I believe the "right" got its clock cleaned both times.
It could be argued that talk radio may be hurting the right, and if it is censured, it may light a fire which will lead to a left clock cleaning next time.
‘’PROGRESSIVE’’= Communist per the NYT. Can these guys switch to satellite radio to avoid these commies?

>>>No they won’t because that is NOT how the Fairness Doctrine is structured. It is designed to attack opinion.
What I meant was that if conservatives attack stations that carry liberal opinion the same way liberals intend on attacking conservative outlets, USING THE SAME DOCTRINE, liberal outlets will be forced to call the doctrine for what it is... suppression of free speech.
Where’s the recent idiocy calling for Joe the Plumber to be dead?
Oh that’s right...”progressive”.
Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
A lot of people think Rush is a hate-monger even though they have never listened to him. They don’t listen because they have been told he is a hate-monger.
I was visiting my sister in Detroit a couple years ago; I picked her up and was driving to a restaurant for lunch, and I had Rush on the car radio, and he signed off for the hour with his time-of-day blurb. “It’s (x) o’clock—time for welfare recipients to get up!”
My sister was flabbergasted and said, “Who’s that?” I told her it was Rush Limbaugh, and she’s been listening to him ever since. She had believed the hate-radio smears and had never actually listened to him before that.
