During George W.'s administration, liberals loved to wail over the supposed--but never demonstrated--suppression of free speech.
But now we have the spectacle of a member of the Dem majority warning a leading representative of Fox News to stop celebrating his network's success--under threat of reinstitution of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." On last evening's Factor, Rep. Dennis Kucinich, invoking the possibility of the Fairness Doctrine's return, warned O'Reilly to stop "crowing" about Fox's success.

Don’t usually watch O’Reilly, but did last night.
That was an out-and-out threat from the little gnome. O’R was twitting him about the failure of AirAmerica, and Dennis responded in threat mode.
Nice catch!
I would love to see him, Kucinich, try and deliver on it, he carries as much weight as a middle school hall monitor, yet the warning is like a favor, so we will all be aware of what pelosi has in mind.
Coincidence?
We report, you decide.
So the little toad threated The Great Bloviator if he didn’t quit gloating. Kucinich: “I have the power to make you shut up!!! And not just because I’m a diminutive Chavez wannabe. Did I mention my extreme Napoleon complex?”
I was wondering the same thing. It ought to be a rule that any photo of the little troll must have a picture of his gorgeous wife. She almost makes up for all of Dennis's shortcomings. Sorry, couldn't resist that.
She gotz a tongue stud too!
Actually, Kucinich says, “Be careful, Bill... or people will start calling for the fairness doctrine to come back.” ...Which is merely a slimy way of saying the rats will bring it back at the drop of a hat if they think they can get away with it.
Air America gets the tombstone....
I agree, and reading Free Republic is like the ad where the guy in the easychair is facing the speaker with sunglasses on, grasping the arms of the chair, with his hair blowing straight back. Lots of info...
These Liberal Pukes cannot compete in the Free Market, so they must destroy it!
It must really pi$$ them off that CBS, NBC (MSNBC), ABC, CNN, Air Amerika, and NPR cannot touch FOX News and Talk Radio!
Hey Libs, I guess even your own folks don’t like hearing their country trashed 24/7.
Thank you. That almost makes up for Dennis. Almost.
Yeah, if BOR and Fox aren’t careful, they may bring back Err America. That’d work.
