Diversity czar takes heat over remarks
Washington Times ^ | 9/22/09 | Amanda Carpenter

President Obama's diversity czar at the Federal Communications Commission has spoken publicly of getting white media executives to "step down" in favor of minorities, prescribed policies to make liberal talk radio more successful, and described Hugo Chavez's rise to power in Venezuela "an incredible revolution."

Mark Lloyd's provocative comments - most made during a tenure at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank - are giving fodder to critics who say Mr. Obama has appointed too many "czars" to government positions that don't require congressional approval. They are also worrying to some conservatives who fear the FCC might use its powers to remove their competitive advantage on talk radio and television

What "competitive advantage" do conservatives have? You mean because more people would rather listen to a real American speaking the truth than a marxist America hater spewing BS? Yes, I guess that is an advantage.

I agree with this guy. There’s a lot of hate just below the surface.

I don’t think the average democrat understands the ramifications of ‘fundamentally tranforming our country’.

You can read his essay entitled “Communications Policy is a Civil Rights Issue” from 1998 here....

http://www.ctcnet.org/resources/review/r981lloy.htm

or his other speech from 1997 in which he states...”

“AS PROFESSOR SUNSTEIN REMINDS US, WHILE WE PURPORT TO HONOR FREE SPEECH WE HAVE LEFT IT MOSTLY TO A SYSTEM OF UNREGULATED MARKETS.”

(Yes, that would be his friend from back then, Cass Sustein)

It's a little early in the battle to be worn out, don't you think? The leftists have been waging their revolution for at least 40 years. We've got to be in it for the long haul.

Yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaw!!!

Lloyd is the next to go!!!

Definition of “Ethnocentrism” is “the tendency to believe that one’s own race or ethnic group is centrally important, and that all other ethnic groups are measured in relation to one’s own.” (Wiki)

Van Jones...Mark Lloyd...Rev. Wright anybody missing?
