Try it, Deb. You think the switchboard is getting flooded now about the Porkulus Bill??? You ain’t seen nothin’ yet if you try to bring back the Anti-First Amendment Bill!!

Just try it!!

Debbie Stabenow's shot across the bow of Free Speech is not surprising. The enormous success - and subsequent influence - of conservative 'talk radio' and the abject failure of liberal attempts to 'balance' that success with their own brand of political talk made this move completely predictable once the left gained power.

I thought Obama would wait until his 'stimulus' bill passed - in some form - before moving on to silencing conservative talk radio. Apparently Debbie Stabenow let the cat out of the bag, for which we should be grateful. Now we know it's coming - very soon - and can prepare. I'm certain Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and the other major conservative talk radio hosts will have their network's attorney's ready to fight any congressional action to implement another version of the cynically named 'Fairness Doctrine'

Senator Stabenow has inadvertently sounded the alarm for us and now, we'll either fight this coming outrage or stand silent, permanently.

I faxed and e-mailed the following to the misguided Senator. Subject line: Constitutional Refresher

First Amendment to the United States Constitution

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

December 15, 1791

I found this interesting. The Senator’s philandering husband is co-founder of the liberal TalkUSA Radio network. Before that he worked for Air America (also liberal radio) before it tanked in 2006.

Is she trying to keep him employed so he has less time to visit seedy hotel rooms with hookers?

If the dems insist on this then Republican should say “fine” as long as it applies to TV also. But it would be limited to public TV and not cable (MSNBC, CNN, etc.) so I’m not so sure that’s the right tactic either. (I’m just thinking out loud)

Wasn’t it this woman’s husband that recently got busted trying to pick up some prostitute?

A different take on this...

Local Payback.

You see Tues Night The Governor ( Granholm ) requested to broadcast her State of the State Address on WJR.

WJR said no, L Brooks Patterson ( Oakland Country Commissioner Republican who wants to run for Governor) booked this slot months ago. They carried her, Tape Delayed...

Granholm send her husband and minions all over the place to Trash Talk WJR, which has a conservative bent.

L Brooks did give the Gov a few zingers.... :-)

Just a guess, this is payback to WJR for not kissing Granholm's @$$...

EFF STAB NOW.

We have the 1st amendment, and a gazillion bucks to fight you!

Dem fascism on the march.

Free speech only applies if you are a Dem lefty a$$ Hat?

And the truth hurts?

Buahahahahahahaha!

Rush limbaugh is single handedly leading a charge, and they can't take it.They control the MSM TV and Newspaper, but not radio.Too effin' bad.

The fairness doctrine will never be applied, because the MSM would have to have it too. The last thing they would want to do is present the Rush point of view on prime TV.

it is important not to let leftists frame the argument. ask the mod to put “censorship doctrine” in parentheses next to the title.
