Liberal totalitarianism ("Fairness" doctrine, HR 3302)

Liberal Democrats are attempting to muzzle conservative talk radio: they are assaulting free speech. Like the communists in the former Soviet Union, America’s liberals seek to crush dissent by consolidating control over the media—especially talk radio, which has emerged as the dominant medium for conservative opinion.

Allies close to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi are promoting legislation, which if passed, will take off the air prominent conservative radio hosts such as Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Bill O’Reilly—along with thousands of smaller conservative broadcasters. The bill, entitled the "Media Ownership Reform Act," is sponsored by Rep. Maurice Hinchey, a leftist Democrat from New York. The legislation aims to revive the so-called “Fairness Doctrine” of the 1940’s: “all views” are to be given equal time on radio. In particular, the Federal Communications Commission would have the power to oversee and change radio and television content. The goal is to tilt the ideological balance of power away from the right on the nation’s air waves.

The real force behind the effort to censor conservative talk radio is the progressive–philanthropist, George Soros. The radical leftist billionaire has made no secret of his hatred for conservatives. He says President Bush has transformed America into a militaristic, “fascist” empire. Moreover, Soros champions many of liberalism’s chic causes: abortion on demand, legalization of drugs, homosexual marriage, euthanasia, unlimited Third World immigration, open borders, and one-world government anchored in the United Nations. He advocates all the issues that are anathema to popular radio talk-show hosts like Savage, Limbaugh and Hannity. Hence, he wants these commentators to be exiled to the political wilderness...

More fascism from the LEFT.

Facism + communism + socialism + greed + stupidity = liberalism.

Everyone that reads this article and any like it should go to www.grassfire.org and let the House and Senate know EXACTLY how you feel.

We ignore this issue at our peril.

As a Hungarian Jew that willingly helped the Nazis confiscate clothing, jewelry, and other personal effects from fellow Jews before they stepped into the gas chambers I find it ironic that he can call anyone else a fascist.

Do you know this for sure or are you just stating what you think could be true?

[God luvs America]

this will be a death blow for them....

George Soros is nothing more than an unreconstructed NAZI ~ the real thing too. Guy was adopted out to non-Jews at the beginning of WWII and then he, himself became one of the folks who stole Jewish property and turned in Jews.

Guy is definitely sick ~ should not be allowed to run loose. His friends and close associates are undoubtedly as sick as he is, and very, very dangerous.

[muawiyah]

See my note ~ Soros is a NAZI.

Apparently during a PBS interview he mentioned that he would go with his father, posing as Christians, to confiscate the property of Jews after they had been 'taken care of' by the Nazis.

Soros isn’t a facist, He’s a sociopath who’s got one objective and that’s to rule the world.

Of course I wouldn’t want this thing to actually pass, but I sure hope it comes to the floor for debate. I think I would PAY to watch the committee hearings and debate on this. Shine the light of day on the anti-free speech nazis!

[desherwood7]

The drivig force behind this bill, Rep.Dennis Kucinich, Will more than likely drop his support for the bill once he loses the nomination.

[this is my name not yours]

That explains why he acts like such a NAZI. I guess it’s because he’s a NAZI!

[Sparticus]

I want to see George Soros doin the perp walk. Lord knows there’s enough dirt on this guy to put him away for a long time.

[VeniVidiVici]

If you won't pay to listen to me then I will have you forced here against your will! YOU WILL LISTEN TO ME!!!!

[ken21]

i knew this was coming.

my tv-moron neighbors are always saying,

“how do bill o’reilly and rush limbaugh get away saying those things?”

[Inwoodian]

+ depravity+ mendacity

[swatbuznik]

Do they just ignore their own hypocrisy? This does border on psychotic.

[this is my name not yours]

LOL...I like that “TV moron neighbors”. My wife & I got rid of the TV sewerpipe 2 years ago and haven’t missed it a bit. When I look back, I wonder how we existed with it.

[God luvs America]

[this is my name not yours]
