I suspect that once it came down to the FCC actually taking broadcast licenses AWAY from Clear Channel and giving them to ACORN, the real legal fireworks would commence.

Or will Rush take down Turbin the traitor.

Rush gets into a lot of home in Illinois. Turbin doesn’t.

- The amendment by Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois) would achieve the same goals of the Fairness Doctrine through backdoor FCC regulations. His legislation forces the FCC to “take actions to encourage and promote diversity in communication media ownership,” an attempt to dismantle successful syndicated radio programs. The Durbin amendment would hurt small, local radio stations who depend on popular syndicated programming for listeners and revenue.Michelle Malkin

Amendment Number: S.Amdt. 591 to S. 160

Every day the news is so bad it seems it can’t get much worse without pretty soon seeing that people are being sent to the equivalent of gulags.

Democrats keep showing us that they are Stalinists. Why do we continue to be surprised?

Somehow I must be missing something. Isn't NPR and PBS 99% represented by Democrats, minorities, and the left? The left would lose them if the Fairness Doctrine was implemented...I wouldn't mind seeing Rush or Beck on PBS or listening to them on NPR. (...some sarcasm here)

What, if anything, is blocking women and minorities from owning radio stations now?

He’s upset because Rush calls him “little Dick Turbin”.

Rush has been on their radar for a long time.

The Left can’t tolerate his success and their own failure in the radio business. They’ve constantly moaned about it being unfair that Rush is broadcast on Armed Forces Radio with no representation from their ‘side’. They forget that Rush provides his program gratis to the military.

Now enter a socialist puppet of a president steeped in the rabid anger and sense of entitlement of ‘Progressive ideals’ who sees fit to call out a private citizen in public and essentially calls the dogs to hound this citizen.

It’s only free speech when it follows their agenda and it’s alarming how quickly this hunt has been called on a private US citizen. Who’ll be next?
