Not at all. I will simply state, somewhere, that I told you so. I am not in "fear" per se. I have a concern that FR will be killed. If you think the ACLU or People for the American Way OR Senator Boxer won't sue to shut down talk radio or FR, you are more naive than a Klinton supporter

Does FR run poltical ads during Seinfeld on a local station? The reason the ad bans passed is because people got sick of attack ads and it had popular support. That's the way it is. No one holds a gun to anybody's head to read FR but when people see the attack ads during their favorite show(etc.etc) a majority of the populace thinks that is .

" Does FR run poltical ads during Seinfeld on a local station?"

Not part of the discussion or decision.

"The reason the ad bans passed is because people got sick of attack ads and it had popular support."

According to a liberal interpretation, FR could be considered a non-stop conservative advertisement for Republicans and conservative causes.

"No one holds a gun to anybody's head to read FR but when people see the attack ads during their favorite show(etc.etc) a majority of the populace thinks that is."

No one holds a gun to anybody's head to watch Fox, ABC, NBC, or CBS either. No one holds a gun to anybody's head to listen to Rush, Hannity or Colmes. No one holds a gun to anybody's head to read the NYT, WP, etc. But now, the 9th Circuit Court has been given the power to interpret what is and isn't acceptable speech 60 days before an election. You're an idiot if you do not think that someone is not planning to take out talk radio and the internet. Even if they lose the case on appeal, to kill FR and much of talk radio, all the left has to do is get an injunction to shut down a website or radio show within 60 days before the election. Pay attention to the details. Rush is anticipating this attack now. FR will be part of the onslaught also.

who to say that a website itself is not an "ad"? What is an "ad", what is an "editorial" or an "article"? who gets to decide that? if the 9th circuit gets to decide that FR is an "ad", they can shut it down.

since the courts are making this stuff up as they go along, anything is possible, anything.
