The fairness doctrine would make Hitler proud.

In my opinion, the fairness doctrine should be directed at House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her liberal hate America followers. It’s unfortunate but the liberals will probably get the help of the ACLU in getting the doctrine enacted. The only time the ACLU will help is when they are stamping out independent thinking minds like conservatives, not the kool aid drinking dirt balls called liberals and democrats. This will most likely be favorably looked upon by Osama bin Obama.

Would the return of the Fairness Doctrine force Rush to move to satellite, I wonder?

“lurking in the gloom of the liberal agenda...”

is also the spectre of an electorate gone mad, ready to elect a totalitarian regime for social justice, ready to have evil oil companies absorbed by a loving and generous federal government.

(long live the socialist people’s republic of the united states.)

This morning I was watching Meet the Press and it was an hour long campaign commercial for Barrack Hussein. Tom Brokaw was doing everything but kissing his ring.

Lurking in the gloom of the Democrat agenda is a resuscitation of the so-called “Fairness Doctrine,” ... and institute the Ministry of Truth as the Messiah "O" and High Priestess Pelosi say it is.

It's free speech when a liberal is blathering. It's a hate speech when a conservative speaks up...especially to correct a liberal that is wrong (99.9% of the time)


Praise the Lord, and pass the ammuntion!

Look for an very angry backlash to take place bigtime.

Seriously, has their ever been a Speaker more incompetent than Nancy Pelosi?

I mean, if your boss at work was as stupid as this bug-eyed moron, wouldn't you quit?

This could come right back and bite the liberal media and especially NPR if conservatives do what the liberals are planning to do.

The pendulum swings both ways.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is unquestionably moving in such a direction once again.
:::::::
As long as the mindless people of this country keep allowing these COMMUNISTS like Pelosi, and the other radical, leftist socialists keep trying to tear down our Constitutional freedoms and replace them with a monolithic, all powerful, all controlling government (THEM) -— this kind of crap will keep happening. The people had better start learning how to FIGHT for thier freedoms because freedom is NOT FREE, and it never has been. Wake up America -—

Nancy should be careful. An unintended consequence of reviving the fairness doctrine would mean that the MSM would have to re-balance their coverage. For example they are spending at least twice as much time covering Obama as they are McCain. This would not help Nancy's intended beneficiaries.

The fairness doctrine, because only 90% of the media is liberally biased.

Surely that if instituted would be the straw that broke the camels back to get to get “We the people” .....”That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, —That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government......”

Oh ya, BTW most of the rest of the Declaration of Independence directed at King George also fits our current Capitol (and courthouses) full of idiots.

Jim,

I’m curious to get your take on this.

What exactly can we do to stop this sort of thing?

I’ve e-mailed my Democrat Congressman that hasn’t signed the discharge petition.

It’ll probably require a million man march on Washington—with a newly updated Declaration of Independence in hand.

Someone needs to be seriously reminded of the meaning and intent of the Bill of Rights.
