that's what we have now--democrat tv that ignores conservatives or lies about conservatives.

retired people that i know that sit around 12 hours a day watching democrat tv foam at the mouth at president bush and iraq.

What the heck do they think NPR and the rest of public television and radio is then?? They got that, and we go Rush et al.

What this country needs is a good 10 million person
conservative march on Washington. So, what's everyone
doing for their Summer vacation and is there enough
room in the D.C. mall for us all??....JJ61

This is the left's MO. Look at college campuses, which are supposed to be the model for free speech and thinking. The left on the college campuses do anything necessary to stop any conservative speech. They will shout you down, get violent, steal posters, etc. There is nothing new here, but if they have their way, the left will regulate and stop all free speech in the name of campaign finance reform, fairness, and whatever other nonsense they can call it.

Sean Hannity has been warning about this for months.

God help us when they get the presidency, along with their control of the legislative branch. The only protection for conservative freedom of speech will be the legal industry, which is unreliable for conservatives at best.

I recall Rush talking about this years ago when there was a push for it.

Remember him saying he wouldn't be shut up.
He would start a 'pirate radio station' offshore.

I don't know what his possible actions would be now however.

Hinchey is the Congressman from Woodstock!

(Both the town and the actual site of the "Event" by the same name)

It appears as if the Senate is hanging lots of this kind of stuff on the Christmas tree of S. 1, "`Legislative Transparency and Accountability Act of 2007', as amendments.

It'll be a "Motherhood" bill, and anyone who even hints at opposition will be tarred and feathered by the Drive By Media, just as they were for McCain-Fiengold (CFR).

By the time they're done, even many FReepers will support the bill, not knowing the details. For one thing it supposedly eliminates "Earmarks", and restricts unrelated amendments in Conference Committee. Who wouldn't support that?

They appear to be using the proven formula of McCain-Fiengold.

One example of what's on the Christmas Tree, in the original, not as an amendment, is a section entitiled: SEC. 220. DISCLOSURE OF PAID EFFORTS TO STIMULATE GRASSROOTS LOBBYING..

Which looks like it might affect FR, although without wading through the legalese and looking up the sections of current law which it modifies, it's a little hared to tell.

DOA, as long as the 41 vote GOP firewall holds up in the Senate.
