You know what? Substitute the word Jews for Rush. See how that works.

Actually, censorship was their second choice. Their first choice was to send Rush to “Reeducation Camp”.

Or they could just raise advertising rates for Rush's show enough to cover the lost revenue from the emergency contract and continue to fulfill the contract for free.
Would broward county rats refuse a cost-free contract?

Doesn’t it happen every single time? “You may say anything you like - as long as it agrees with what we think.”
By God, but Democrats are angry and bitter people.
As I recollect, WIOD had a pretty strong signal, and it would be in the public interest to broadcast such weather information over a powerful station.
But, apparently, bitterness and anger trumps public safety.
Now THAT is a shame.

Station WIOD AM-610 has been the official channel for emergency information from the county government for the past year. But the County Commission, made up of all Democrats, refused to renew the relationship on Tuesday. So because of politics the county government will switch to a radio station with a smaller audience? They are more interested in pushing their politics than their constituents safety? Shouldn't get emergency broadcasts to the most people be the primary concern? Sounds like a campaign message for the next local election.

They have every right to speak, but we dont have to do business with them, she said. I thought this was about Weather Warnings and saving peoples lives? Not about "WE"

According to Arbitron, WIOD’s also the highest rated news/talk radio format station. Broward’s looking to shoot itself in the foot.

How bizarre. The media, which supposedly lives and dies by the concept of free speech, overtly censors broadcast. Oh, yeah... I forgot. Free speech is only for liberals.
To: Always Right
Yep, Liberals believe using the government to suppress free speech is their right.
To: OPS4
Liberals stepping on fee speech. No, they're not. No more than Republicans would be, were they to decide to defund PBS. Of course, whenever Republicans try to defund PBS, the left makes just that charge.

The deal is anymore don’t waist your time talking with certifiable idiots. Send them to detention camps. Why? Because that what they want for RUSH listeners. It’s about time that we conservatives get a clue as to how severe their ideology is & let’s get the war on. The enemy is within - not Iraq. Let’s watch these sniveling a-holes crouch in the corner when we go after them. I'm still fumming about Savage & C-Span.

These liberal DemonRATs think they live in an island where they can dominate the civilian population like plantation lords. Well it is time they realize that their fantasies are pipe dreams and there is a real world out there which no amount of government action will suppress.
Let as many of us, good freedom loving Americans, give them a reality hit by smacking down their foolish ideas about limiting free speech.
To: massgopguy
Sorry to point this out, but 560-AM is the best ratings station in the area of Broward County (and Miami-Dade & Palm Beach), thanks to a guy named Neal Rogers.
610-WIOD is a popular station, but 560’s numbers during the same time as Rush are WAAAY above Rush.
Now, that being said, I just shook my head and said, “That’s South Florida for you...” because I listen to Rush everyday, and am a Rush baby.
And a BIG however is this: If 610-WIOD decides to drop Rush (which they won’t because he is a big part of their advertising push), 1290 out of West Palm Beach also broadcasts Rush.

Gee, isn’t this the kind of thing that Ray Nagin was accusing the Bush administration of doing - purposely letting people die because they didn’t like where they were in society’s fabric?
So, the Broward County government wants conservatives to die during an emergency? [hyperbole off]
But there is a point to be made here with their tactics, eh?

So it acceptable for government to awarded contract based on politics...
Can my local city council kick out the local cable company because that carry Bill Maher’s HBO show or MSMBC Keith Oberman?...
