I've had quite a few laughs over the idiotic whining about the

and the various blacklists against actors, directors, writers, and
performing artists. *That* was real war against freedom of speech.
You know, I've heard lots of railing against reinstating the
fairness doctrine, but I've heard of very few that actually want to
reinstate it. Obama, for one, is on the record against reinstating it.
Check with the US Senate.
Ain't payback a bitch? OF course, the fairness doctrine doesn't call
for censorship of any kind, so if it were reinstated, the loony
righties could go on spewing their hate speech just as they are now.
Not direct censorship but the result is the same.
Why is that? If Limbaugh and Coultergeist can continue to spew their
hate unabated, where's the censorship?
