Tommy said that right wing radio was shrill and violent.

Not so fast with the quick brush-off, everybody!

Doesn't that put it somewhere in the proscribed federal category of "Hate Speech" or "incitement to violence"? Surely, an enterprising 9th Federal Circuit Court Judge could find for that view!

Alternatively, we now have the 2002 CAMPAIGN FINANCE LAW which prohibits most unregulated political advertising and speech within 60 days of an election. Could this be the first shot in taking Talk Radio off the air during the 2004 Elections by assuring Talk Radio political opinions are illegal and prosecutable, unlike those of the "respectable and recognized" media - who are protected by the Law?

These Totalitarians stop at nothing and miss little!

Folks, this isn't just Slimy Tommy talking. It's got Clinton fingerprints all over it and is the opening salvo in a deadly serious campaign against our civil rights and freedoms! This is somehow a perfect fit with the forgotten tyrannies of the new 2002 Campaign Finance Law.

Probably. Many folks here and elsewhere have said that this would happen sooner or later. I wouldn't be surprised if the Dems began this process as soon as they could.

Little tommy trotting to the beasts' drumbeat? Too sad. Wonder what hillary's FBI file copy has about tommy poo on it....must be good.

I called her office too-as well as Leahy's-wonder if it was my calls that set this off....oh...I know probably not....surely not....but still....it is fun to think of rattling these snakes' lairs.

Oh, you can take that to the bank.

Neal Boortz has been predicting this very gambit.
