Pushing Open The Door for Fairness Rules…

I don’t believe that they are trying to push any “fairness” rules right now. The issue is that they are pushing over the road blocks, setting up government to easily implement them. Stimulus? Net Neutrality? I don’t know what the end game is. Yes,…

That kind of a statement would make it much harder for a later climbdown from Team Obama.

I swear, Ed, you still don’t get it. Must be your eternal optimism. Do let us know when all your hopes and dreams for Obama’s shining presidency lie crushed and broken at your feet. I look forward to mocking your pain. And if I’m wrong…hell, what am I saying?

Of course he opposes the Fairness Doctrine; he supports the creation of local community boards to insure diversity of ownership and subject matter for the public good. That it’s the functional equivalent of the Fairness Doctrine is beside the point. It’s just not the Fairness Doctrine. Once you’ve learned to parse words under Bill Clinton it becomes really easy to translate these things.

I wish someone would do one of those Alfred E. Neuman pics of Obama, with the caption, “Who, me?” and then under that a list of all the stuff he’s done and who actually did it.
Fairness Doctrine-FCC
Hiring Lobbyists-Emmanuel
No Bipartisanship-Harry Reid
No Transparency-Nancy Pelosi
Etc
Etc
Etc
It would make a great poster

I heard on the radio I can’t remember where that basically they will use ACORN to do the dirty work. I think Obama knows he is the public face and power who says “Who me?” and they are the ones who will flood radio stations and town meetings and hearings to demand equal time. That 4 billion to ACORN will be used. They will get on the radio to talk about “poverty issues” then start to respond to their “critics” and then they will demand more and more air time to send out this message and respond to critics. Then if anyone dares challange them they are in for trouble becasue then they are trampling on rights and spreading discourse…. you get the picture. Meanhwile Obama isn’t involved with rspect to the FD.

It’s just SUCH a glaring example of Obama’s dishonesty. “I am opposed to the Fairness Doctrin”. KNOWING that he’s going to accomplish the same effect with localization, licensing, etc.

marklmail on February 18, 2009 at 4:45 PM

My only consolation is the filthy liar can’t keep this up for four years without his true corruption and evil being self-evident. Even the propaganda of the MSM can’t hide the truth forever because the filthy liar and his crowd lack the subtlety required. They are going all out as quickly as possible. Sooner or later some of this will catch up to the filthy liar and screaming “racist” and “partisan” isn’t going to help the rat bastard traitor.

While this is obviously a solution, it does not address the enormous concern that the government would be censoring content on a commercial, privately-owned radio station. The analogy would be to say that government censorship of newspapers is okay because we can always read what we want on the internet.

Government censorship of any media is un-American!

DrStock on February 18, 2009 at 4:31 PM

I agree completely. But as long as the censorship is done under the guise of “policing the public airwaves”, there is not much that can be done, vice eliminating the FCC. Which, btw, wouldn’t be a bad idea. When the speech they don’t like moves to a media beyond their control like cable TV or satellite radio they first have to get through the hurdle of judiciary precedent. I suppose one way around the attempt to quash speech is to place a jar of urine on the desk during a show and talk about its meaning every now and then. Then you can claim yourself as an art show. Lord knows the libs love their art!

There are two postings today on Resistnet.com that are bone chilling.

One is a lady named joan who contacted her Town Board and Chief of Police concerning an economic crisis…..
The other posting concerns a Kenyan..Islamic takeover of America by Obama.

I know logically that these are just postings by anyone, but they give you the creeps…

Obama also said he would not allow any lobbyist to work in his admin, we see how that’s working. Liar. Liar. Pants on Fire.

Posters (of students with duct tape over their mouths)should be posted in every dorm of every college.

Don’t anybody kid themselves: This stand has an expiration date also. Whether he outright changes direction on the Fairness Doctrine specifically or just orders the FCC to enforce “localism” or uses his ACORN groups to pressure stations out of business, it will happen.

Perhaps we would know more of Obama’s feelings on the Fairness Doctrine if he would stay in the White house long enough to tell us. He was in Arizona today and I heard he’s going to Canada next week.

What is up with that?

GWB took heat from the left for spending the month of August in Texas. That’s going to be the month that the filthy liar stays in DC and rests up from all the road trips.
