Democrats Move Forward to Censor Conservatives

Despite the mainstream media's news blackout on the subject, Newsbusters is reporting that a new Democratic appointee to the FCC gives a 3-2 edge to those who wish to silence conservative talk radio by resurrecting the old ' fairness doctrine' that did anything but insure fairness.

This is a blatant attempt to censor conservative speech on the airwaves.

If Liberals within the Democratic Party and Barack Obama's new administration want more liberalism on the radio, then they should have to compete for it just like conservatives do.

But each time Liberals have attempted to compete, they fail miserably because the sponsors, the listener support, etc, simply aren't there.

Rush Limbaugh isn't all over the radio because he is a conservative. He is there because he is that good and because he draws a huge audience. And sponsors know that when they pay Rush to advertise their products, they make huge profits.

Why? Because Rush has a gazillion listeners throughout America, and the sponsors know it.

If Liberals had that kind of mass appeal on the radio, they would have some success. But their ideas don't sell, and thus, they have no listeners, which means the sponsors won't pay to advertise with them.

It really is just that simple.

But that's not good enough for the enemies of free speech that this country has just elected to the White House and Congress. If they can't compete, they want to force opposing voices off the air completely.

This is a travesty of liberty, and it should not be tolerated in a free society.

But apparently no matter what freedom-loving Americans want, Obama and his Gestapo are pushing full steam ahead with their plans to implement this censorship, and Obama's transition team co-chair John Podestra has already laid the groundwork for the assault through his own creation called 'Media Matters.'

The time to wage an all-out battle against these enemies of free speech is NOW, and there is no time to spare. While Americans are still in their 'shock and awe' over their Obamessiah, the goons and thugs are working overtime to get their subversive work done while no one is watching.

If these enemies of free speech and liberty in general are allowed to squelch conservatives on the radio, then there will be absolutely no doubt that the country is held in the grip of evil men and women who fear the freedom of the citizens.
