This is very disturbing that he thinks something has to be done about talk radio.

Talk radio as it stands now consists of people exercising their rights to free speech. The hosts and callers are all speaking out on issues of the day.

How exactly Trent Lott sees this as a problem that he needs to solve is beyond me.

Disturbing is right. The Fairness Doctrine sounds like it has another supporter.

Because, like you stated, it gives 'we the people' free speech. That's a no-no to those that are used to having it their own way. What a bunch of control freaks. Next, hillary will be saying the republicans want to curtail talk radio.

It tell me one thing - our voice needs to be louder - to offset the spineless republicans.

It is. VERY disturbing, and he's not afraid to say it. And when he says WE have to deal with it, you know who he's talking about. His fellow communists. They are well on their way to taking over this country. The talk radio bill will be shoved thru next.

Well all of the little Socialists are getting their panties in a twist, so I would expect them to all join hands and do something about ‘talk radio’.

No it isn’t, you just can’t bring yourself to believe that our elected representitives are so corrupt. Trent Lott couldn’t care less about the Constitution but he should. Some of us have sworn an oath to defend it, against enemy’s both foreign and domestic.

Replace the words "talk radio" with "the citizens" and you'll see what Trent's real beef is.

Talk radio is the modern day equivalent of the printing press on every corner days of old. (That is until corporate print ran them out of business).

It's scary to hear Trent Lott talking about this because the RATS are already trying to do it. He has become our enemy! The following an excerpt from Wikkipedia, regarding the "Fairness Doctrine."

As of early 2007, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT), along with Representatives Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), Maurice Hinchey (D-NY), and Louise Slaughter (D-NY) have announced their support of legislation which would reverse the 1987 FCC decision and restore the Fairness Doctrine.[4][5]

It has been routinely criticized by conservatives in the media as a means of keeping their views from being expressed or of deliberately cutting their available air time in half.

I think Rush is right. This is dangerous talk.

Folks need to treat this as horrendously and outrageously dangerous, alarming and a big clue to what the puppet masters have planned.

Of course C2C the other night was even more frightful.
