I know they haven’t seen anything yet, there will be a lot of unhappy people if these people are taken off the air.

Big Brother is Watching. War is peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength.
Never again will you be capable of ordinary human feeling. Everything will be dead inside you. Never again will you be capable of love, or friendship or joy of living or laughter or curiosity or courage or integrity. You will be hollow.....
The party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power.

Replace Jews with the term Conservs, or tea baggers or VRWC radio and there you have it.

Congrats. You can join the revolution.

OK. Let me get this straight. This man wants to shut down talk radio because we choose to listen to it as opposed to changing the station or turning it off which is exactly what he and others of his ilk can do if there is something they don't like. It's called freedom and evidently this person doesn't like it that many Americans have and exercise their freedoms. Reality (something liberals seem to have a hard time grasping) is that if there is enough financial incentive and support for liberal talk radio, Air(head) America would be on thousands of stations. Even the local nebulous FM 101 Talk radio (leans left to say the least and is absolutely anti-conservative), is there for all the liberals to tune in to. I listen and when they offend my conservative values, I turn them off. Seems far more sensible than punishing broadcasters who have a product that an audience wants. So if we are strictly talking about diversity, this one FM station covers the roughly the same geography as the main 2 AM stations that carry Rush, Sean, Levin and that uber-radical Dave Ramsay. These liberals have no shame. If they every give us crap about freedom of speech, at least we can say, “We listen to you and let you speak. Too bad you can't say the same thing”

Well when people start calling them what they REALLY are.............FASCIST...then we have a chance to finally defeat them once and for all.

Well, I know that the ‘Diversity Officer’ at a federal agency in AL gets paid all year to organize Black History Month. The rest of the time is spent watching TV or sleeping in his/her cubicle all day until another employee taps him/her on the shoulder to go home.

Maybe a “Chief” Diversity Officer doesn’t even have to show up at the office.

Is this how the snitch web site did its job? Google Wired Magazine, a high-tech computer magazine and the article by Ryan Singel on 8-10. It states that “more than half of the internet’s top websites use a little known capability of Adobe’s Flash plug-in to track users and store information about them, but only four of them mention the so-called Flash Cookies in their privacy policies, UC Berkeley researchers reported Monday, 8-10. Even the Whitehouse.gov showed up in this report with researchers reporting they found a Flash cookie with the name “userld.” The site does say in its privacy policy that it uses tracking technology but it does not mention Flash or tell users how to get rid of the Flash cookie.” THIS IS HOW THE WHITE HOUSE IS TRACKING ALL EMAILS THEY RECEIVE. AND THE SENDERS DON’T KNOW THEY’RE BEING TRACKED..our govt. is tracking/spying on us! DANGER WILL ROBINSON...DON’T GO NEAR ANYTHING WITH .GOV ON IT! Yet another trojan horse from socialist obama.

"We need a huge turn out at the 9/12 Tea Party in DC!"

How many members of Congress does that Tea Party have?

How about getting a big turnout of *INFORMED* voters in the next election, and throwing out EVERYONE who has served more than one term in Congress?

What is a chief diversity officer?

It's probably the highest-level position where, no matter who is hiring, EEO is thrown out the window. Racial discrimination is not just accepted, it's expected.

Caucasians need not apply.
