This really involves self-censorship thru intimidation. KO is letting the Right side of talk radio know that they will be closely monitored and will pay for any "slip up," however that is defined. So much for free speech from the Stalinist Left.
To ensure an Obama or Clinton victory the leftists think they have to control the media and stifle the voices of reason. Knowing they can grip the the weakminded with global warming and other fallacies, they must feel confident they can pull it off.
I think the difference between Limbaugh and most of his White critics is that Limbaugh is genuinely color blind; I don’t think he cares a whit about a person’s race. Most White liberals secretly hold Black people in contempt, they ooze patronization and condescension out of every pore.
I think a lot of Black people sense this. Astute con artist like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made a career out of it, they game the White network execs into ordaining them the spokesmen for the Race, since they willingly adopt the attitudes and postures congenial to the execs’ world view of Blacks as outraged victims.
Clarence Thomas, Professors Sowell and Williams, can all go to the back of the bus, as far as they are concerned.

From the April 4 edition of MSNBC’s Imus in the Morning:
IMUS: So, I watched the basketball game last night between — a little bit of Rutgers and Tennessee, the women’s final.
ROSENBERG: Yeah, Tennessee won last night — seventh championship for [Tennessee coach] Pat Summitt, I-Man. They beat Rutgers by 13 points.
IMUS: That’s some rough girls from Rutgers. Man, they got tattoos and — —
McGUIRK: Some hard-core hos.
IMUS: That’s some nappy-headed hos there. I’m gonna tell you that now, man, that’s some — woo. And the girls from Tennessee, they all look cute, you know, so, like — kinda like — I don’t know.
McGUIRK: A Spike Lee thing.
IMUS: Yeah.
McGUIRK: The Jigaboos vs. the Wannabes — that movie that he had.
IMUS: Yeah, it was a tough —
McCORD: Do The Right Thing.
McGUIRK: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
IMUS: I don’t know if I’d have wanted to beat Rutgers or not, but they did, right?
ROSENBERG: It was a tough watch. The more I look at Rutgers, they look exactly like the Toronto Raptors.
IMUS: Well, I guess, yeah.
RUFFINO: Only tougher.
McGUIRK: The [Memphis] Grizzlies would be more appropriate.

It's been my observation those who rush to judgement of someone's error have either been guilty of or are soon to be making the same mistake.
Careful of your six, Olbermann. As with everyone, there's a very vulnerable place on your back you can't easily guard alone.
When Olberman talks, its like a tree falling in the forest when no one is there, he has no audience so his words float to the ground and are absorbed in the muck he has created.
And what about the LA Times that ran the editorial Obama the magic Negro?
When does Obelbormann get pulled for tearing up the Ann Coulter doll?
Totally irrelevant
when i discuss this issue with my democrap-tv neighbors
i remind them that 20 years ago there was NO choice in tv.
then the reagan admin changed the fairness doctrine, and
out popped rush limbaugh.
but my neighbors to a t all want only THEIR democrap views on the air.
And they know it...
Janeane Garofalo, Sam Seder
Sam Seder's morning show was cancelled by Air America's new owners
On September 1, 2004, Sam Seder was briefly detained by the Secret Service during his live, on-site coverage of the Republican National Convention at Madison Square Garden. Shortly after Zell Miller gave his speech, Seder began searching (with a sign in hand) on the convention floor for a willing homosexual Republican to interview live on radio. It was not long before he was physically removed from the floor and after brief questioning, was asked (or according to some, "strongly encouraged") to leave the convention.
True, but Rush also used the word in reference to Hallie Berry. Her mother was White and her father was Black, but wasn't wasn't an African or from Africa, so she's not a "halfrican" unless all African-Americans are African.
I took it that they could justify their objection on that ground. It's stupid, but with Imus now there's blood in the water and the sharks are circling. If it were Thandie Newton, it wouldn't have been a problem.

Janeane & I have been friends for many years. At 4am on election night 2000, Janeane had passed out on my couch while I was yelling at the TV that Gore had won and Bush had stolen the election.
Hey Keith, your ratings alone (or lack of them) alone begs to ask the question: “Why is an America-hating talk show host like you who spews hatred for his country on a daily basis on his show still on the air?”
