Obviously you don't know what freedom is so *you haven't got a clue of
about the subject*.

Say what?
I do have a couple of clues *of about* the Queens English.
Besides, one could argue that over the past 4 years we've had more freedom
than you. (just ask your border guards)

Turns out the hatchet fell at NPR. My sister, Vicky OHara got axed
and I know she did not expect it. Life is rough but fortunately she
has no kids. I always thought NPR had almost no balance, great
programs but no balance. You could end up more ignorant after
listening than before.

Only if you are a brainwashed rightie whose ability to absorb reality
longer than a 60-second soundbite doesn't exist.


I've had quite a few laughs over the idiotic whining about the "fairness
doctrine." I'm old enough to remember the horrors of the HUAC hearings
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.

That was before he was for it.. He did say he would sign it if it came
across his desk as POTUS.. but that's just how Obama rolls, just
depends on what audience he is pandering to..

If it really truly bothers you that it might come back, I'll be glad to
write to my Congressman and urge him to urge President Obama to sign it.
The more apoplectic the right is, the better for America.

I think it's just out there to give the righties a tighter anal opening.
I mean, where would the boys be without reich-wing radio? Out wandering
the wilderness?

More vomit from the jackass of rec.boats.. even you know it's
censorship, only reason you don't care is well, you don't care. So
explain to us how the constitution is a iving breathing document, only
there for your berkenstock buddies...

I'm in favor of almost anything that kicks the mindless righties in the
nuts, and, since I don't listen to reich-wing radio, watch Faux News or
have the hots for Ann Coulter-geist, I won't mind if the truth is
presented after they speak.

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.
