As the founding president of Air America Radio, I believe that for the last eight years Rush Limbaugh and his ilk have been cheerleaders for everything wrong without our economic, foreign, and domestic policies. But, when it comes to the Fairness Doctrine, I couldn’t agree with them more. – Jon Sinton
At least Jon Sinton sees the danger in the government censoring conservative radio, no matter how much Reid, Pelosi, Obama, etc. are afraid of conservative talk radio.

Afraid? I doubt it. Maybe repulsed. But the Rush and his ilk are of a kind with Goebbles and the Big Lie. Following in their fathers' goosesteps.

But doesn't the First Amendment cover "offensive speech" too?
Or is it just the speech you happen to be "comfortable" with that you believe should be protected?
Anyone else should be censored by the government and their books burned, right?

Slow news day for you haters. That shit hasn't been brought up since Limbaugh uttered it out of his tongue thick with pills mouth. We've moved on to Socialism and birth certificates since then try to keep up old top.

I must have missed something. I don't read anything in Gussy's or my post that indicates support for censorship. But then, English is my native language, so I might be unaware of a nuance or such. Burn books!? Farenheit 451, no! Burn the burners!

Reid, Pelosi, etc. keep bringing it up under the title of "local issue boards", etc.
Jon Sinton understands the dangers of censorship, no matter what name it's called and no matter who is doing the censoring.
Unsurprisingly, a few regular suspects here favor it.

Are you high!! They both have contested races right now. The last thing their worrying about is pill head Limbaugh or Giant Dumbass over actor Glen Beck. You must brought out the wrong talking points this week.

Pelosi expressed her support for it this week.
Of course, the mainstream media will minimize it.
