This is exactly mean, petty, and extremely partisan crap you can expect out of the local governments in S. Florida. This is like all the frivolous code violation citations written against homeowners who displayed republican yard signs before the 2004 election.

[mort56]

This type of crap is one reason I sold my Fl. business and moved out of state. Small petty people with too much time on their hands.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Commissioner Stacy Ritter said she did not want to support a station that's out of step with area politics.

Understandable. Rush Limbaugh is contemporary, while the Democrats are sooooooo 1917.

[Freeport]

Scratch a Liberal, find a Fascist....

[ArtyFO]

That’s ok. I don’t want Rush’s show interrupted all the time with mindless global warming weather nuts scaring the people with Katrina false alarms. They’re already licking their chops at the upcoming hurricane season, misforecasting minor squalls as Andrews type storms already. The weather types are being politicized into algore alarmists who are wasting our time with chicken little forecasts that are becoming less and less accurate because of the bullcrap.

OMG...the Sun Sentinel has over 650 comments already on this story......they took the article off the main list....it must be taxing their server big time. LOL

Try EVERYWHERE!!...

Not just S. Floriduh

Commissioner Stacy Ritter said she did not want to support a station that's out of step with area politics. Ritter, a Democratic stalwart in the state Legislature before being elected to county office, cited talk shows hosted by Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and WIOD's partnership with Fox News.

Never mind the blatant attempt at censorship, she should be fired for stupidity for admitting something like this in public!

[Charles Henrickson]

Broward/Rush ping.

[thecabal]

Broward County to local conservatives: drop dead (from a hurricane).

[sig226]

Every time I decide that government can not possibly sink to a new low, some part of it jumps out to assure me that the fetid swamp of liberalism is bottomless and will never be conquered. Perhaps they could broadcast on Air America, their hurricane warnings would reach at least six listeners there.

Does anyone actually broadcast AA in Broward County?

[Erasmus]

Doesn’t the Commissionerette have a point? I mean, in addition to the one she hides with her beehive hairdo?

If Rush is “out of step with area politics” then nobody listens to him there. Thus, they need to find 500 watt daytimer that their nonogenarians huddle around to get them the news.

I’m sure Mizz Commissionerette doesn’t know anyone who listens to Rush’s station. proving her point.

To her.

[Poser]

Dear Commissioner Ritter:

I suggest you move your emergency information contract to the Air America station... Oh... Wait...

Bwwwwaaaahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Stacy:

I just read about you wanting to cancel the emergency broadcast contract with a radio station because its politics is “out of step.” I don’t know if WIOD is the most listened to station and has the best signal, but it seems to me that those considerations should determine whether the station is chosen to handle the emergency broadcasts that can save your citizens’ lives.

If the Soviet Union ever comes back, it will be good for you. You would make a great commissar. No wonder the rest of the nation is looking at you guys as assclowns.

Here’s some context for those of you who aren’t familiar with The Peoples’ Republic of Browardovia:

County Commission: 100% RAT
Sheriff: RAT
Assessor: RAT
Election Supervisor: RAT
Clerk of the Court: RAT
School Board: 100% (or close to it) RAT

We are also the home of impeached, removed and convicted former federal judge, race-card player and (incredibly) US Representative Alcee Hastings; failed 2000 election tamperer and county commissioner Suzanne Gunzgerger; deeply entrenched homosexual power brokers; corruption at all levels, primarily driven by developer money; and increasingly third world conditions, brought about mostly by the third worlders who live here and the politicians who pander to them.

RATs with absolute power = fascists.

Re: "Ritter's concerns were echoed by Commissioners Ken Keechl, a former president of the Dolphins gay Democratic club, and Suzanne Gunzburger, who served on the vote-tallying board that recounted the 2000 presidential election."

Scattershooting while wondering if a rainbow, unicorn, &/or mineral water club will weigh in with their demands.
