NPR is liberal talk radio. The Daschle Rule doesn't apply to it. That being said the article makes a valid point; liberals hate talk radio to their guts and would love to go back to the good old days if they could. So consider Tommy Daschund's tirade against Rush Limbaugh the opening shot in a campaign to turn the clock back to the glory days when all Americans could hear and watch and read was liberal propaganda all the time.

Maybe I'm giving the American people too much credit, but I believe that if any political party tried to use CFR to shut down talk shows they don't like, it would be absolute political suicide. That's an idea that would only find support among the most hardcore Democrat partisans. As much as they hate Limbaugh, et. al. most of them are smart enough to know that a precedent could be set to turn the tables and use the law on Donahue, Peter Jennings, Alan Colmes and other liberal broadcasters.

That's not to say that Daschle won't try it. He might just be that stupid. If he does, there will be political hell to pay, and it won't just be coming from the right.

The implementation of this (Fairness) doctrine would mean that every station that carries fifteen hours of Limbaugh a week would have to find some bed wetter to carry forth for an equivalent 15 hours,/

Bwhah-hah-hah!!! I would LOVE to see these DemoScum @ssholes try to invoke the Fairness Doctrine and force radio stations to carry LOSER left wing shows that nobody listens to. They'll get their @sses kicked in court, by the public, and will be outed as the Fascist liars and would-be censors that they are.

Tee it up, Little Tommy!!!! You only think you've had a major league @ss kicking.

Let's hope that Senator Daschle thinks he is on to something, but has really just taken the bait. BTW, will Katie Couric be able to interview (aka, showcase) liberal candidates shortly before elections?

If I didn't know any better, I would have to say this was a call from Daschle to get his crazies out and hurt Rush. You can always count on the dems to accuse the right of the crimes they (the dems) are actually committing.

Peace through superior firepower.

I agree, this is no time to relax. The Republicans in power, and us, cannot let up on these bastards. Roll the tanks!
BTW, welcome aboard.

Did Daschle attack NPR as well? That's talk radio.

That's been my question. Granted Keillor took pen to paper for his screed against Norm Coleman, but replace Limbaugh with Keillor in Daschle's statement here:

“What happens when Rush Limbaugh attacks those of us in public life is that people aren’t satisfied just to listen, they want to act. They get emotionally invested. And so the threats to those of us in public life go up dramatically.”

Now, has Coleman received threats since he was outright called "evil" by the disgusting worm Keillor? Hmmmmmm?

And here Coleman is going to be a U.S. Senator just like Tiny Tom.

Bush should have vetoed CFR. This will come back and bite him in a big way. Should have done what was right instead of what was politically advantageous. Looks like it is not going to be too advantageous anymore.

This from another thread, from FReeper glc1173@aol.com, needs to become a standard conservative talking point sound bite when dealing with these Leftists on this issue:

Brezhnev couldn't stand Radio Free Europe for the same reasons.

Thank you. It's nice to be here. Unfortunately, I only learned about FR recently. There is not much conservative thought in the circles I run in.

January begins the advancement of the agenda. As you said, we cannot let up.

Let's roll...

The Dems have no plans to gain equal time or implement a fairness doctrine. Their machinations, which appears to be a team effort now against talk radio, stem simply from their frustrations over losing elections and becoming an irrelevant party of dimwits.

I'm shocked this wasn't included in CFR. It is afterall, political speech by an opposing party not paid for by the candidate. /sarcasm

Hannity had a liberal caller on his show yesterday whose best argument was to call him a "... gutless bastard..." for 10 minutes. Isn't that presenting the other side?

Hannity, Limbaugh, and Boortz ALL give liberal callers EXTRA time (although Rush seems less patient with every liberal caller he takes). I think they do this in order to show how utterly ridiculous their arguments are.

That guy on Hannity sounded like a DU'er to me.

Daschle then said, “What happens when Rush Limbaugh attacks those of us in public life is that people aren’t satisfied just to listen, they want to act. They get emotionally invested. And so the threats to those of us in public life go up dramatically.”

Daschle can only look at life through his own twisted values. He is absolutely unable to reason rationally. He evalutes everybody else as having his same weaknesses.
