The “Fairness Doctrine” is the most despicable and blatant attack on free speech that I have seen. The left is hardly even bothering to hide it.

We must watch carefully. If the immmigration bill is again defeated (and I suspect it will be) look for the Democrats to strike while the iron is hot. Several Republicans could be on board for any measure that will stifle talk radio.

Let’s face it: most Washington politicians want only political communication that they can control. They want constituents that they can buy off, and that won’t make too much noise. As I said it is all truly despicable.

I can't agree. McCain-Feingold is THE most despicable (and unConstitutional) attack on free speech. The "Fairness Doctrine" is, at best, in second place.

Trent Lott, perhaps?

I wrote DiFi yesterday on just this topic. Bloggers and posters should be flooding her, Clinton’s, Boxer’s offices with your complaints. These louts actually think they know more about democracy, free speech than the public. They do not! See DiFi’s malarky on Chris Wallace’s Fox show yesterday.
