“They will accept the first evidences of oppression as “necessary to achieve the goals””
That puts Biden’s “stay with us” comment into a very chilling light. The air just went out of my lungs....

We shall see.
He’ll definitely have a FIGHT on his hands if
he tries this!!
“Talk about grassroots! Forcing conservative talk radio to go local could be the best thing that ever happened to conservatives!”
It is still a depravation of OUR civil rights to peaceably assemble over the airwaves with like-minded citizens. A camel’s nose under the tent is all they need. After that, it will be a fait accompli.

It will only be 1 at time, with overwhelming force....
To little to notice, there will be no free press to herald their crimes against humanity...

“Repubs use corporation, business and individual monies.”
So do the Dems... ever heard of Soros et al?
BTW, most of Wall Street vote and contribute Dem. Other than the Goonions,
to whom has the Bailout gone....WallStreet....Payback
Please don’t perp the myth that only Republicans use “use corporation, business and individual monies.”

Local rules eliminate Rush.
No Rush, no listenership.
No listenership, no value to advertising time.
No value to advertising time, no advertisers.
No advertisers, no revenue.
Stations go bankrupt by the boatload. Those that remain are bailed out and become part of the state-owned propaganda wing of the Obama leadership.
Yep. You said it all right there. Nice post.
“Since you did not mark it as an excerpt that should mean you posted the entire article.
)What a NitPick... It’s called the dissemination of important info...(
Maybe Boulet has written other things that are better documented - unless I missed something it doesn’t document a single thing Obama has done or said since the election. It doesn’t talk about who he has chosen for key positions. Its just speculation.
)It is his statements ‘prior’ to the election. Your rationale, honestly, makes no sense...(
If the battle to restrict speech is coming we need better ammunition. Speculation is fine but we are in for a fight to protect free speech and hard nosed, honest journalism would be better.
And by the way I appreciate the article bringing up other avenues of attack on free speech we might face besides the fairness act but my principle point is that they did not back up their claim that its happening now.”
“fairness act”...nice seed...
“If”... “Speculation”?!?
Methinks doubt is being spread.
Lord Barry is well known for the ‘clearing the field of any opposition’. It is his Chicago way.
You must have swallowed the myth that the AP is “objective” or you fully understand that it is not. I am still trying to discern. The author solidly buttressed the article, or did you even follow the link to AmericanThinker.com?
It is his prior statements in re the Constitution, in his own voice. As well, it his support for the “localism” canard.
Not to mention Biden’s chilling “stay with us” comment and that Barry BOHICA will ‘have’ to do ‘something’ many will not like or want.
I addition, there have been numerous public statements, before & after the election, from Dem. Congressmen that extol the ‘virtues’ of the Fairness (censorship) Doctrine. Point of fact.
It is when you look at these events, statements, hearings, and Federal Government Docs. in their entirety, that a viscerally chilling picture forms in one’s minds eye. I’m not the only one wearing an Alcoa cap.
I guess I must have a problem taking fact from various sources and ‘surmising’ the intent of a thoroughly noob pol.
Please, do more research, then...
Bury your head in the sand, if you so choose. FReepers will not.
Past is prologue, especially in re mute Obama.
I’m happy to know you can take such comfort in his amazingly thin resume.

The distinction was that Republicans do not use taxpayer money other than matching funds. Dems use ACORN and they are funded in the hundreds of millions by our taxes.
I will wager that Soros is not using his own money as well, although he says it’s his, it’s likely coming from off-shore and he is funneling it, and/or he donates it as part of ill-gotten gains from insider information. He is an international white collar criminal and pirate who belongs in jail.
I would not compare any Republican donor with Soros.
The bailout is making me and family members very upset.
The parallels to the present mess that is the Community Reinvestment Act and the arguments posed by the “localism” rationale, are to close to be blithely ignored.
The first bullet point is exactly the CRA, but will be used to dictate content.
ACORN is not partisan. This lie has not been refuted by adjudication.
Sleep tight FReepers and God Bless

UNBELIEVABLE! This is what you will find on acorn.org.
ACORN People’s Platform
Communications
The right to communicate is fundamental. The increasing concentration of ownership in communication industries ensures that, unless positive steps are taken, the concerns of low- and moderate-income people will continue to be ignored.
I. Make it possible for low- and moderate-income community groups to have their own sources of information
A. Initiate government funding to low- and moderate-income community groups in order to assist them in establishing their own sources of information.
B. Exempt government funding to low- and moderate-income community groups in order to assist them in establishing their own sources of information.
C. The Federal Communication Commission should revise its policies so that broadcast applicants with low- and moderate-income boards of directors are more likely to be awarded stations.
II. Make the mainstream media accessible and accountable to low- and moderate-income people.
A. Reinstate the Fairness Doctrine in broadcasting, so that grass roots community groups have equal time to express their views.
B. Require cable TV companies to make good on their promises to allow community groups access to air time, or revoke their operating licenses.
So not only did Acorn have a hand in grabbing the reins of power in the White House, the next step for them is to demand the Fairness Doctrine be reinstated and then be GIVEN a government-funded license so they can air their views. I’m sure their Messiah will be granting their wish soon. I believe that most folks at Acorn don’t know a damn thing about the Fairness Doctrine or the idea of conservative talk radio. This edict was probably added after he got elected.
This is only the beginning. Remember, Obama was a community agitator that promised his followers anything they wanted if he got the job.”
I keep reading about the fear of retiring SCOTUS members — aren’t the first 3 believed to be wanting to retire all far left wing wackos to begin with? Replacing them with the same won’t change much, that will only come in to play when one of ours retires.
You are right about the Supreme Court needing to hear this. The First AMendment does NOT demand objective reporting...it demands the rights of a FREE press, hence Rush and others (even liberals) can not be censored.
The terms "liberal" and "objective journalist" are Newspeak. American "Liberals" are not liberal as the word was defined everywhere, before the 1920s, and everywhere else but in the USA, as recently as a decade ago. As my daughter remarked from personal experience in Venezuela about ten years ago.The actions of the FCC under Obama, if as indicated, will lead to censorship...we see that in fact it did so. Tying the whole mess to McCain Feingold is brilliant and should be done immediately. When the liberal justices start to retire, we’re sunk
Actually, that's not a problem, it's a lost opportunity. Justice Kennedy may be half a loaf, but he is better than no bread at all - and as long as he and Scalia, Thomas, Roberts and Alito sit and can stand the heat the Obama Administration and the AP will subject them to, Kennedy's decisions will be SCOTUS' decisions.Lose even one of them, and it will be an entirely different ball game. But it would have been so good to have been able to replace one of the "liberals" with another Alito/Roberts . . .
My first post must have been written badly - I only intended to criticize the writing of the article - not disagreeing about threat or to freedom of speech or the likelihood that that the threat is coming.
I miss “Dix”...
You two made a great team!!!
Not to mention highly rated major network shows ... like Boston Legal, which explicitly depicted (1) McCain voters; (2) Palin supporters, and (3) PUMAs as “stupid” and “idiots.”
Oh, and unenlightened, too. Don’t forget that.
“My first post must have been written badly - I only intended to criticize the writing of the article - not disagreeing about threat or to freedom of speech or the likelihood that that the threat is coming.”
Don’t worry, your post was just fine. It’s just how these things go here at FR sometimes, that’s all....
Alinsky is NOT GOD. He was simply an AMORAL, doctrinaire but consistently pragmatic Marxist, who talked about pushing his views on a non-sympathetic electorate.
He had no idea just how wrong his views were, and how much ill they would perpetrate on society.
Thank you.
Steve,
I don’t understand why you would oppose Gingrich and Delay as reorganizers of the party. Their profile would not impede their talents, I don’t think
Look at Howard Dean. He seems to work well behind the scenes yet he is pretty high profile in a negative way.
Gingrich is a brilliant strategizer and Delay is a Master Tactician. The GOP could not ask for better leaders to regroup and recapture what has been lost.
I hope they will get leadership positions rather than just advisory positions.
