I took from your original post that you would not object to government action to silence Stern's political views. Clear Channel obviously has a right to fire Stern, and consumers have a right to boycott advertisers to force his removal.

The government has no right to try to silence Stern for his political views.

"The government has no right to try to silence Stern for his political views."

A radio show is a privledge, not a right. How many communist radio programs are there? How many "Worker's World" TV advertisements do you see on network TV? During a time of War the government not only has the right but it has the duty to make sure what is going out on the airwaves does not harm the war effort.

If you are worried about tit for tat, the best way to prevent the Commies from going after Rush is to prevent them from winning elections. Which means redistricting, shutting down ethics investigations, propaganda, push pulls, character assinations and silencing the opposition. Every ounce of power we now have needs to be brought to bear on this election. All of which we are effectively doing right now. We have already shut Stern down on CC. It is just a matter of time before we make it "financially uncomfortable" enough for Infinity to continue its relationship with that traitor.
