It will probably begin about the time Obama and company shove through the first bad piece of socialist-inspired legislation. Regrettably, that is likely to be the first moment this utter disaster for the country will become real to millions of conservatives.

Real to conservatives?!?! WE already know it's all too real.

The first thing a Leftist Supermajority will do is pass laws that shut up the opposition. How specifically can Rush, Hannity, Ingraham, not to mention all those local conservative talk radio folks across the country prepare for the inevitable "Fairness Doctrine" and what can we do, if anything, to prevent it?

The ‘Fairness Doctrine’ might actually become a two edged sword.

While Rush, Hannity and Beck may see their radio play hours shortened - the Alphabet Soup Channels will have to allow conservative commentators ‘equal time’. There still will be the internet of course. Rush, for one, has a pretty large following. I know I stream his show on my computer at work almost every day.

There still are First Amendment issues involved. I think the fastest way for 0bambi and the Dhimmicrates to turn off Joe Six-Pack is to start tromping of the First.

My two cents - flame away.

;)

Buy or lease a ship, and broadcast from 12.1 nautical miles off the coast. Broadcast from somewhere, anywhere, over one of the satellite radio stations. Broadcast over YouTube, via email links, etc. Bottom line: technology is such that stopping a determined person or group from getting a message out is impossible UNLESS you kill that person. That's a large part of why the Soviet Empire no longer exists.

Oh, and if Rush and the rest buy a ship, they should also contract with a dependable foreign government to protect the thing with subs and anti-aircraft missiles - I put NOTHING past Senator Government.

They can do what is done in other countries: move their transmitters offshore onto mobile platforms and broadcast anyway.

We can bookmark anonymizers and surf the way the Chinese have to: in stealth ID mode.

We can create fax samidazt or we can go back to the 1970s and create mimeographed news broadsides and hand distribute them.

We can totally boycott all government-approved media.

We can adopt rolling passwords/changing identification via clothing/color and pass it on as we pass each other in the street or the grocery aisle. For an example, in Chicago in the 1960s, the police were harassing bar owners for enabling solictitation of prostitution. From a girl who worked in one of these places, I learned that if the word came out via a single coded phone call to the bar, the bartender would place a clean bar towel on the ledge in front of anyone deemed to be a cop and the girls would avoid him. Other employees were briefed on how to identify LEO by clothing labels, shoe styles, haircuts and if those identifiers walked in the door, word went out.

zerO’s backers are young. They will totally rebel if their free access to electronic communication is disturbed. After all these years of freedom of association and free speech in America, it is going to take martial law and a virtual army of informers and minders to shut it down and either way, there will be a huge backlash.
