Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley has publicly released a letter he penned to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Chairman Julius Genachowski regarding the July 29th announced appointment of new FCC Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer Mark Lloyd.
In the press release accompanying the missive, the Senator said he was "concerned with the appointment due to Lloyds writings on political talk radio and the Fairness Doctrine."

the left say they love diversity yet look at their support and where they live
mostly all white mc mansions, or mostly white gated communities or areas.
diversity to them is stick poorer minority folk in places where they do not live. go to a mexican restaurant or chinese once a week, know a black person at work and have a homo as a friend or neighbor
Yesterdays community activist is todays chief diversity officer.
Well the wake up rate among the sheeple seems to mirror his decline in popularity. The MSM is having tantrums and the Race Card does not work anymore. The Commies seem to have stepped in a fire ant hill.
Lloyd has in his past written a road map for how liberal activists should use the FCC to threaten the licenses of stations with whom they do not agree politically.
This appointment is beyond infuriating. Goodbye Rush, Hannity, Levin, Ingram, Beck. Goodbye talk radio. Goodbye free speech. Goodbye America. Welcome to the fascist USSA
Hey you get it. They are now known as safety officers. We have them where I work. Soon they will become diversity and political police and report directly to the various CZARS...If a crane does not accidently drop something on them.
We allow them to. It is our choice to accept or decline the offer.
What about that new 'Executive Pay' Czar, Kenneth Feinberg? Maybe we can ask him? (/sarc)
Is his job anything like this one:
Whips Crowd into frenzy.
Berlin, March 31st (1933) (AP)——Dr. Paul Joseph Goebbels, the MINISTER OF POPULAR ENLIGHTENMENT AND PROPAGANDA,(emphasis mine) preceeded his reading of the government boycott manifesto to the packed National Socialist meeting here today by a declaration of Nazi antipathy toward Jews. He whipped the crowd into a frenzy, and there were scattered shouts of “Hang them”
.................................
It sure makes it easy when Zero and his minions are so transparent. Replace Jews with the term Conservs, or tea baggers or VRWC radio and there you have it.
This administration is continuing to spring leaks.
They have no sense of themselves and no sense of who actually makes this country what it is.
Obama’s “czars” all have shady pasts and one by one, I suspect Drudge, FOX, and talk-radio will reveal them...
FCCs Chief Diversity Officer--New Czar wants Private Broadcasters...to Fund Public Broadcasting
I can almost guarantee that if the “Fairness Doctrine” rears it’s ugly head that the number of Pirate radio stations will increase. Radio Free America in reverse.
FYI, guys:
THIS is gag that Lord Obama quietly threatened on Fox News, Rush, Hannity, Glenn and ALL of Conservative talk radio immediately after the election.
This is a way to infringe on the First Amendment rights of Freedom of the Press, as well as Free Speech. And we cannot allow it!
Is this how Hugo Chavez started followed by outright takeover of private radio stations??
obamanation STRIKES AT AMERICA again!!
“We have repeatedly explained that Lloyd is virulently anti-conservative, anti-capitalist, almost myopically racially fixated and exuberantly pro-regulation.
Lloyd has in his past written a road map for how liberal activists should use the FCC to threaten the licenses of stations with whom they do not agree politically. He seeks to impose an annual FCC license fee equal to each station’s annual gross operating budget, with the money going to public broadcasting stations with whom the private stations then have to compete.
That he now works at the FCC where he can put his ridiculous policy proposals into place is more than a little disconcerting. “
This is more treason of the American People who have a right of FREE SPEECH. Pure and Simple HATRED for America pours from Obamanation’s appointees... ALL OF THEM..
agreed
this name calling the left has done over years has now seen as just a tool to silence folk if they have comment or questions.
you’re right the sheep are waking up and as one woman said they have woken a sleeping giant.
Lets just hope for our state the sheep masses wake up and we do not turn into another north eastern state
Can the keep them from broadcasting on Sirius and the internet?
It is a difficult trick to shear a sheep while it is asleep.
Like the esteemed Reverend Wright said, “It’s not the USA, it’s the US of NAACP -A!”
Or something like that.
