The White House is promising new reviews of the "obligations" to the government by broadcasters who "occupy the nation's spectrum" just as the president has targeted conservative talk radio icon Rush Limbaugh for a public attack, raising concerns over the possible restoration of the "Fairness Doctrine," a policy that failed as unneeded and unconstitutional two decades ago.
Paul Ibrahim of NorthStarWriters.com cited Obama's warning to congressional Republicans that "you can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done" in suggesting the president has become the "driving force" because a new "systematic" plan to "intimidate and demonize Obama's opponents."
That such a campaign was launched only days after Obama's inauguration is "tremendously perturbing," he wrote.
"Welcome to the politics of hope 'n' change. Obama's startling attempt to hang Limbaugh's scalp on the wall is a warning that the new ruler does not want unity – he demands it," Ibrahim wrote.

That's what we ought to call it -- the Zero Time Doctrine.
Catchy double-entendre, don't you think?
Michael Medved addressed the issue twice in my hearing, when callers brought it up.
He stuffed them both times, displaying petulant impatience in doing so. His argument was that they didn't stand a chance of cooperation from anyone with any real stroke, so forget the whole thing. Very McCainish answer.
Me, I thought people did things because they were right, you know?
That’s because their ideology is logically indefensible.
Seriously, a logical discussion, sans emotion, of any issue, will leave them arguing for enslavement of one person to another, which is not a logically or morally defensible position to be in.
They’re looking to recreate the Reichstag fire?
Which is now officially headed by a tax cheat. That ought to go over well if we shout it out loud.
Have they issued brown shirts to ACORN yet?
OT, does anybody know what became of Ken SASSO (sp?), who had a show on WWL in New Orleans in the late ‘70s?
T Sowell points out that Naziism/Fascism is one of those “hybrid” ideologies that is viewed by both the left and the right as applying to the other.
We see the left with their totalitarian top down socialist ideology as being fascist, and indeed, it is.
The left sees the conservative respect and promotion of traditional values and culture as the equivalence of the nationalism and racism of the Nazis. It’s a stretch, and they only fight it because traditional values go against their desires to embrace their sin nature:
Galatians 5:19-21
19 What the sinful nature does is clear. It enjoys sexual sins, impure acts and wild living. 20 It worships statues of gods. It also worships evil powers. It is full of hatred and fighting. It is full of jealousy and fits of anger. It is interested only in getting ahead. It stirs up trouble. It separates people into their own little groups. 21 It wants what others have. It gets drunk and takes part in wild parties. It does many things of that kind.
Can you imagine the parody Saturday Night Live or any comedy show could do on that Greg Craig interview? I don’t know if it would be as funny as the real thing, but man, for any commedian to say there is nothing funny about Obama is for them to all either be brain dead or under mind control.
Yeah, I could see it, although I doubt the SNL crowd would do it because of their rampant support of Obamalamadingdong. I could see a sketch growing out of this with a Greg Craig lookalike acting as a Ventriloquist, with Obama being the dummy. That was pretty much what it was like the other day when it happened. Obama kept asking Craig for clarification, then repeated what Craig said word for word as if no one else in the room heard what Craig said. It was live comedy, but the truth is it was more sad than it was funny.....
What if a significant franction of that 20 mil decided to make it an issue? Wouldn’t the IRS and courts grind to a halt trying to process them all?
“If you want to piss off over 20 million voters, go ahead!”
Yeah, I bet The One got a lot of votes from that 20 million! Donations too!
That's the part Obama was into at Wright's church ~ the rest of it just kind of put him asleep.
These people also indulge themselves in orgies of racist criticism of whites and Asians.
It won't take too much goading.
At the rate our Leader is going, it won't be long before he will have his Internal Security Forces to enforce his will. We must not allow this to happen.
Our Leader has Secret Service protection. His enablers do not.
I don't agree, we are not organized, we are doing nothing as he sits there signing one bill after another, taking away our freedoms & we do nothing.
SOON, we will not even be able to talk HERE about it. FR will also be a thing of the past. We WILL hear, liberal propoganda 24/7, just like other communist countries!!!
You won't organize using email, phones or the web, unless you want to see us all rounded up.
We have much to learn from Resistance movements that preceded us. Start learning, while you can.
Thank you for the pings, Delacon. I really appreciate it.
