If we flood the complaint system with legitimate equal time demands, the liberal broadcasters will be forced to defend the conservative viewpoints on their own dime.

No they won’t because that is NOT how the Fairness Doctrine is structured. It is designed to attack opinion. The MSM is not and will never be considered by the FCC to be opinion. Do you honestly think that the dems will allow their mouthpieces to be balanced or countered? Forget it. Look, please for goodness sake, these people are feeling their power. They are wallowing in it. They believe the best form of total and complete control is to anhilate all forms of differing opinions, i.e. conservative talk radio.

What I meant was that if conservatives attack stations that carry liberal opinion the same way liberals intend on attacking conservative outlets, USING THE SAME DOCTRINE, liberal outlets will be forced to call the doctrine for what it is... suppression of free speech.
