The government has taken control of tv. Is that ok? Or do you think Sex and the City needs to be on ABC?

Should Hustler be right next to Newsweek sitting beside cash registers?

I think the best compromise is to make a separate realm for sexual content, and XM radio is perfect. I say this as a huge Bob and Tom fan. I'd be happy to pay for it.

Government has regulated sexual content for years without infringing on political free speech. One does not necessarily lead to the other. The thing that would get Rush yanked isn't his political speech, but comments on culture. He's simply more likely to cross the line there before political speech gets outlawed.

I wouldn't panic at this point. We are merely seeing a rebalancing of the scales, IMO. There was underreaction for years, now there is over-reaction, hopefully we can settle into a middle ground soon.

I'm just dumbstruck that that wouldn't bother you in the least. I guess Rush better shut his big fat trap about cultural issues before the government rightly shuts him down.

For the children.
