Correct me if I am wrong, but is this not right out of the Obama Administration playbook?

You are NOT wrong...this IS Obama’s playbook...with a difference...The One will use the FCC and the Justice Department to go after conservatives...but not in a big way until after The Messiah is reelected in 2012.
You think he won’t be???
I keep reading that all the GOP has to stop him is Romney.

The Clintons tried to push the “Fairness Doctrine” through, Pelosi promised to do it, and I’m pretty sure it will be high on Obama’s list of things to do.
So, yes, there isn’t much difference ideologically between Chavism and Obamism. Or Clintonism or Pelosiism either, for that matter. They are birds of a feather. What Chavez is doing they all hope to do. And they’re working on it.

Hey! “Democratizing” the airwaves is what Obama and his friends want to do here in the US. :)

This is not a “socialist” society in the making, unless one uses the former “Soviet Socialist Republics” as the defining term. It is the making of a totalitarian society—pretty far along in the process. Marxists/Leninist go for control of three specific components: the media, educational institutions, and the military.

Hugo’s leftist totalitarianism in action. Count on Obama’s handlers taking notes.

240 radio stations, nationalized for pro-Chavez thugs. Just imagine that.
