A clever congressman or Senator should introduce a bill that calls for equal time on all newscasts, television shows and movies.

The bizarre part of the “Fairness” Doctrine is just exactly WHO will decide what is right wing, left wing, etc.

Who has the power to seek into people’s souls and determine who is “left” and “right”?

The leftest plans may sound good on paper, but its a whole other thing when they hit the hard reality of the streets and start affecting American lives. If they over reach things can turn against them very fast (1994).

Rush should hire someone who can do a Soviet accent, play a part of the Soviet National Anthem before they speak and let them read the “State” talking points every time after Rush speaks.

No one here seems to have fully grasped just how sinister this leftist cabal is. They plan a “war of stages” against our freedoms. Each stage will be covered in perfumed platitudes and high-sounding rhetoric. Their goal is the establishment of a European style socialist state. No socialist state can tolerate freedom of speech. That is one of the first things they must eliminate. Only massive resistance to their attempts to squash freedom have any chance of success. Do not fool yourself. These people are as determined as the Sandanistas, the Fidelistas or the Maoists.

I hear you. We are entering dangerous waters. Most people who voted for Obama are uninformed and unaware. They are simply looking for someone to take care of them!

One thing to keep check on.....

Obama could easily use fairness doctrine to distract conservatives, not really caring if it goes through or not, but getting us target fixated while moving in other areas in less obvious ways.

Be wary, Obama didn’t get to where he did, as fast as he did, without knowing how to play the game.

So you think talk radio is just going to take this without a fight? Are you going to stand against this?

Sure I’ll take a stand. However, I live in the 1st Congressional district and we somehow saw fit to send a Democrat to D.C. How do you think my calls letters and emails will be recieved by him?

Since talk radio is overwhelmingly dominated by conservative hosts

I don't believe that claim.

Anyone who voted for this communist gets what they deserve. It is just too bad that the rest of us go down with the sinking ship.

How about a “Voice of America” for America.

Ultra Powerful Broadcasts coming from outside of the Continental US.

Maybe Mexico or Ships Stationed outside territorial waters.

Satellite would be good But Limited Listeners.
