Did you read the 1st post by the coffee260 who posted Medved’s collumn? Here it is. Sums it up nicely.
Mr. Medved—
Senator McCain supports Free Speech? Who knew?
Why should anyone fawn all over the fact that Senator John McCain supports the Constitution? So McCain isn’t for squelching all of our First Amendment Rights. Whats so laudable about that?
On the one hand Senator McCain wants restrictions on political speech. But on the other, King McCain will let us peasants have our talk radio. For now. Oh, Thank You! Thank You, Senator.
Give me a break. Since when has not assaulting our GOD given rights been seen as a gift? I’ll tell you when. Since this very same Senator has taken his legislative pen to our rights to free speech. Only then would he have to be defended for not going even further.
If you think this helps John McCain with conservatives you are sadly mistaken. It only shows that while he pushes legislation, such as McCain/Feingold, Mr. Freedom of Speech has decided to leave the Surfs talk radio alone. How gracious of him.
What next? Postings of the Declaration of Independence arguing, Senator McCain believes we are still endowed by our creator? (George Orwell, call your radio station.) The irony is delicious.
I do wonder what excuse you’d have if he did, in fact, decide to support the Fairness Doctrine.
Here’s one:
“Senator McCain, while supporting the Fairness Doctrine, has taken an oath to protect and defend the Constitution.”
Or:
“Talk radio has demonized Senator McCain, A WAR HERO, for supporting the Fairness Doctrine. Did I mention he’s A WAR HERO? Don’t these talkers know he’s A WAR HERO and that he took an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?”
