Several speakers, including Federal Communications Commissioner Michael Copps, used the Obama campaign slogan, “Yes, we can,” as they urged the thousands of “progressives” in the audience to bring “change” to Washington, D.C.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot, well Dubya did it again with his "reaching out"...

He never learned, you stick your hand out to Dems and they bite it off.

John McCain is going to pay homage to La Raza but has no time to meet Rev. Billy Graham. We are doomed.

Rush made an error. McCain did not say he has no time for Billy Graham.

What is wrong with Bush? I can't believe him and his naive approach to running his office. Over and over and over.

Aren’t shy about identifying themselves because half the country has swallowed the koolaid and the other half is asleep. The depth to the stupidity..the lack of knowledge of history!? Truly amazing how naive ....these people really believe that with the right people in charge we will have utopia, that government can save them... despite the lessons of history.

Dorgan wants the federal government to decide who shall own media properties and whether they are serving the “public interest.” He is the “progressive” point man for “media reform” in the Senate and bragged about how he had gotten Republican Senator Trent Lott to go along with his efforts. Lott recently resigned to become a lobbyist.

And apparently the FCC is in agreement, because the chairman was there hoorahing right along with the nutcases.

I guess the "congress shall make no law" regarding he 1st amendment escaped these fellows some how. Anyone who votes for Obama has to be a total idiot.

Actually, Bush had no choice but to appoint a 'Rat to that seat. There are five commissioners, and by law there can be no more than 3 from either party. Thus the lineup in the FCC is just about always 3-2 in favor of the party in the WH and can't be 4-1 or 5-0.

The very end of Kincaid's story is the real bottom line on that conference:

...it had also become absolutely clear that the "media reform" movement has emerged as a critical part of the partisan political effort to help the Democratic Party gain absolute and total political power on the federal level and to use that power to silence conservative and Republican voices in the media.

Another compelling reason to see to it that the 'Rats will never again own the presidency in our lifetime.

Anyone with an IQ over 65, should be scared to death of the prospects of the radicalism and socialism THREAT of an Obama presidency.

You've just identified and classified over half of the electorate, and you are correct in your assessment.

“... and transform the U.S. economy.”

But into what, I ask? Anything that even remotely resembles a live, functioning, free-market economy? Highly doubtful...
