Well, shut their mouths! Some halfwit claims Democrats are going to try to silence them! |

Are you sitting down? AIM: Congressional Liberals Bare Plan to Muzzle Conservative Speech WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Less than two weeks after Democrats took control of both houses of Congress, Accuracy in Media has exposed a plan by congressional liberals to use the federal government to silence conservative voices in the media.
Reporting from a so-called National Conference on Media Reform, organized by "progressive" activists, AIM editor Cliff Kincaid has revealed, in an exclusive report now available on the AIM web site (http://www.aim.org), that liberals in the House and Senate intend to push legislation giving the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the authority to monitor and restrict what conservatives in the media say and how they say it. Kincaid quotes Democratic Rep. Maurice Hinchey (D-N.Y.) as saying that he wants to put an end to the influence of conservative media personalities he finds to be "neo-fascist" and "neo-con." Their legislative vehicle is revival of a "fairness doctrine" giving FCC bureaucrats the ability to grant liberal activists "equal access" to conservative programs on radio and television. Senator Bernie Sanders, an avowed socialist, told the conference he would push such a measure in the Senate.
Kincaid calls the approach "authoritarian" and a threat to freedom of speech in the U.S.
In his Special Report on the conference, which featured Bill Moyers and Jesse Jackson and Hollywood celebrities such as Jane Fonda, Kincaid said that the event "turned out to be an effort to push the Democratic Party further to the left and get more 'progressive' voices in the media, while proposing to use the power of the federal government to silence conservatives."

Melanie Morgan is running all over the place screaming that she's a victim because Spocko sent some of her pathetic rantings to her advertisers and when they heard what a psycho she was they pulled their ads. I believe the saying goes "live by the sword, die by the sword". I must admit Melanie has a point.. on her head, I mean really what nerve people have using her own psychotic rantings against her. :eyes:
on edit: After reading the link, this is getting hilarious, now it's a big conspiracy to muzzle all conservatives. I guess thats what Conservatives think the fairness doctrine is. You know what? I hoe they do muzzle these assholes let them see what it's like to sit on our side of the fence for awhile.

6. Welcome To Our Reality Buttheads! |

...all Spocko wanted to do was use Morgan's own hate speech to demonstrate to her advertisers what she was touting. So then her advertisers in embarrassment began to pull their ads off her show. Since conservative idiots such as she have been saying for years that liberal agendas do not work because the 'audience doesn't want it' she is finding that this is not true. As Media Matters pointed out last month when they published a list of corporations who were black balling liberal radio in an attempt top kill liberal talk, it is the ads that pays her salary.
A good American will be willing to die in order for Morgan to spew her garbage, but a real American would never pay her to do it.
So as I said above, "Welcome to our reality, BUTTHEAD!!!!!

5. You have to wonder that anyone would see a threat in |
|
"fairness" and "equal access".
I wonder what these people would think of CNN's 'liberal bias' if they ever had a real progressive voice to compare it with.
