I wouldn’t worry much about this...the freedom of speech trumps this hand of cards...without much effort. If this is the best that Feinstein can do...then there isn’t much to worry about.
I’m trusting you are right. I don’t trust leftists at all!

They made the “fairness doctrine” unfair by only having it apply to what’s considered “opinion” shows.

They claim the liberally biased NPR is a “news” show, not covered by the Fairness Doctrine. Same with all the drive by media. Clever, isn’t it.

It’s all about Rush.

We have the Fairness Doctrine already.....Rush’s half brain tied behind his back, just to make it fair.

The best part of the whole interview was when she blamed Bush for the Congress' abysmal approval ratings. I LOL!

BUSH'S FAULT!

Feinstein: "Nobody goes into the flaws in our broken system."

Well, EVERYBODY is criticizing the flaws in our broken system. What planet does she come from?

There isn’t a lot that would get me to march in the streets, but this beeyotch’s commie agenda is certainly one thing that would move these bones.

“talk radio has presented a one-side view of the immigration question...”

what she really means to say is, that talk radio is not expressing the point of view of the democrat party which makes it liable for censoring by the democrat party.

If they try to limit speech of political opponents, the political process and the constitution are dead. The only solution would be another civil war.

“I dont think the left realizes how this could backfire. Imagine if the right now gets to equal time on tv, pbs, public radio, newspapers, websites, movies, all tv programs, classrooms in all schools etc.... The whole reason the right goes to the radio is because all other media shoves the leftist view down our throats and we should let the left know this decision will end up hurting them”

You don’t understand the problem. The right would have no voice. The government would appoint people who would decide what is politically slanted speech. Speech from the left would not be considered from the left by the government monitors. It would be considered fact. Since it would be fact, there would be no other side to present.

Does anyone know where a copy of this “bill” is? I’d like to see it and use it as a hammer on my local congresscritters.

Thanks

Talk Radio is onlythe beginning- and something talked about before by libbies- but ONLY This loudly after their Libbie Talk Radio attempts Failed!

But the "INTERNET"?!!

Don't forget two things-

1) HILLARY'S Promise just before her & Bill left office- that,"...I would Like to see the INTERNET Under the UNITED NATIONS Direction and control!"

Has everyone forgotten THAT Scarey comment from her? and it was echoed too by MANY other " Acdamia Elites " back then too! ( Which only gave Global-Conspiracy Nut case more fuel for their fire! but maybe now things they said then really doesn't sound too Black Helicopter-ish today!) That THREAT went hand in hand with KERRY's THREAT That he wanted to,"...see OUR U.S. ARMED FORCES Only Use at the Direction of the UNITED NATION !..."

Is anyone here following a certain "Trend" here ? concerning how Liberal/Socialist Elitists thaink & plan agendas?? Mmmm?

and...

2) The Libbies learned a Very Hard Lesson after the SWIFT BOAT VETS Gained Notice thru the INTERNET!

ANY "Threat" agianst them tehy will Plan for very cautiously, seriuosly and with Extreme Prejudice!

OR....DO YOU ALL WANT TO LOOK BACK 20 YEARS FROM NOW AND REALIZED THE THINGS YOUY ALL LAUGHED AT TODAY FINALLY CAME TRUE IS YOUR TIME!?

(We all also never thought 10 years ago that someone found guilty like SANDY BERGER would be walking around free while a Scooter-Libby would be in Jail! Right? or that a U.S. President could Boff an intern RIGHT IN THE OVAL OFFICE! and NOT get immediately Impeached! Right!? We also NEVER thought that WE would ever have a term like "RINO" in Our Vocabulary! Right!?)

"....The people should not be afraid of their government....the government should be afraid of their people..."
