Apparently, Democrats want to continue proving my point about liberals' hatred of free speech. According to The American Spectator,
Rep. Henry Waxman has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows, and to call in Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin to discuss the so-called "Fairness Doctrine."
"Limbaugh isn't the only one who needs to be made uncomfortable about what he says on the radio," says a House leadership source. "We don't have as big a megaphone as these guys, but this all political, and we'll do what we can to gain the advantage. If we can take them off their game for a while, it will help our folks out there on the campaign trail."
Democrats don't have as big a megaphone? Running the legislative branch of government isn't a big enough megaphone? I can't decide if these guys are just stupid or really don't understand that Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives are equal time (as Rush says).
It would be laughable that Democrats, who control both the House and Senate, feel they aren't as powerful as talk radio if it weren't so sinister. But the fact is, these guys control the legislative branch of government and now want to stifle free speech by legislating it out of existence. We're not talking about protests or advertiser boycotts. If the government decides to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine that really is censorship.
