If they try the Fairness Doctrine that will be our cue to fill Washington with about 10 Million conservatives and freedom lovers of all stripes.

Even liberals listen to conservative talk radio for entertainment, liberal radio is like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Obama was compared to Hitler on the “Mark Levin Show.” Obama would open the United States to an “invasion” of Muslims, according to the “Gunny” Bob Newman show. On the Lee Rodgers show, critics of Obama were going to “be jailed or killed.” Host Neal Boortz wanted to know how many prayer rugs Obama owns.

Golly! I wonder if the author realizes that radios come equipt with a dial for changing channels, and something called an off switch. Those are items I make use of when some hate mongering lefty like a Randi Rhodes comes on.

Also, did any of the above items change the outcome of the election?

Killing off conservative talk radio will shutter lots of radio stations. It's the advertising revenue from the loyal listener base that keeps them running. No show, no listeners, no money to pay the bills. The RATS learned the hard way that they don't have a loyal following of listeners. As usual, when they can't compete in the marketplace, they resort to the iron hand of government to crush competitors by legislation or activist court rulings.

Bump to post on my Facebook later (and inevitably annoy certain of my moonbattier friends).

“That is, that the airwaves do not belong to the station “owners,” as they call themselves, but to the people of the United States of America.

The concept that station “owners” were mere licensees who kept their permits on grounds of good behavior and community service ....”

To use the Dem0grats logic, then, as it applies to the bailout.....

The American prople are the “owners” of the tax money we sent you.

Congress are mere licensees to do with the money on the grounds of good behavior and community service.....

Congress has done neither.....

We want our money back!

After they are done with radio they will come after the internet, just as they did after Freedominion our sister site in canada which today is based in panama. We are in for rough times. Espouse conservative ideas and suffer the consequences. They will see you lose your job. Expect the feds to raid the homes of owners of conservative sites and harassment on a large scale to begin. Welcome to left wing fascism.

Comrades:

As a born again child of the Obamian Era, I can only speculate that if Republicans and Rightwingers had anything worthwhile to say for the common good, it would not be necessary to silence them and send them to the re-education gulags.

Those that criticize conformity of thought as totalitarian are suffering from a lack of enlightenment.

Yes we can!!

Yours in Unity,

I think everyone needs to sigh up for RUSH 24/7.

“And its most dedicated enemies, who want to trim talk radio’s sails, were massively empowered.”

They may yet curse the day such luck was theirs.

Statistics on licensees are hard to come by. But Sen. Russ Feingold, D-Wis., noted that in just seven years the number of owners nationwide was cut by 25 percent; that four owners control 80 percent of the New York City market. Minority ownership fell by 14 percent between 1996 and 2003. So did women ownership. “Prior to 1996,” Feingold said, “one company couldn’t own more than 20 AM stations and 20 FM stations. Now two companies [nationally] control 42 percent of the content that reaches listeners and 45 percent of industry revenues.”

Filthy kulak radio congolomerates! Comrade Obama, we beseech you: Please take action against the kulaks!
