    #183 The “Great” Gandhi thought that the Jews of Europe should have marched meekly to Hitler’s ovens and gas chambers.

    And look how the Pope enabled Nazi horrors also; not to mention the allied countries that turned back refugee ships.

    If Obama is polling 64-4 % over McCain in Fwance, pray tell why don’t the cheese-eating surrender monkeys draft Obama as their despot?

    So why would any leader espousing the so-called Fairness doctrine stop there? Why not clamp down on opposition speech over the internet also? And BO’s union check card scam guarantees more union goon power. And how about 12 million more libtard/socialist votes when they are made legal and given citizenship by the Entitled Nobama?

    How is it when anybody says something negative about Obama it’s considered racist but, when liberals uses the word Zionist they are quick to say they aren’t being anti-semitic? They know they are being anti-semitic at that.

    This will be a giant step towards total Liberal-Fascist control.Senator Feinstein has been advocating the return of the Fairness Doctrine for some time and Senator Trent Lott has been making similar sounds when talk radio and the blogs killed their beloved Ilegal Immigrants Amnesty – Rush Limbaugh Runs America.

    Sorry gollumclone… I can’t let your comment about Pius the XII pass … he emphatically did not allow such heinous activity by the Nazi’s….. I cannot tolerate how this false accusation has continued in light of evidence that he did exactly the opposite… he saved many from the gas ovens….. would that you and others could have walked in his shoes at that time in history.

    This fight against censorship is an absolute must win fight we all must engage in. All sources of free thought and expression are likely to be under assault under an Obama administration.
    This is a fight for our liberty and individual freedom for our future. Anyone that doubts it please read Andrew McCarthy’s piece in NRO called Obamas Assault on Our Unum

    It is baaaack:
    Hillary Clinton, Al Franken and the Return of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

    Miss Hillary:
    “Al Franken was taking on the vast right-wing conspiracy before other people even admitted it existed,” she told a crowd of 2,000 supporters on the University of Minnesota campus, urging them to give her rival, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, a filibuster-proof margin in the Senate. “Al Franken, with your help, can be our 60th vote.”

    How do we go about driving that stake through Miss Hillary’s heart? Does it require a full moon? Miss Hillary, Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice?
    Minister of Truth?-Fairness Doctrine

    I was planning not to vote this year as I’m pretty well disgusted with both parties. This issue alone will send me in to vote for all Reps (I’ve never done that) in the hopes that a check and balance may exist.

    First they take our speech, then our guns, then your religions (I’m agnostic).

    We can’t stand for nor allow this to happen.

    Thank you.

    First they take our speech, then our guns, then your religions (I’m agnostic).

    I think they went after religion first…took prayer out of schools, took the 10 Commandments out of Government (even though Moses is featured prominently in the House of Representatives)

    The weakening of the spiritual foundation of this country, the Culture War, was step 1 of 4: Demoralization.

    Hillary Clinton, Al Franken and the Return of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy

    The Vast Left-Wing Conspiracy = the World Communist conspiracy.

    This is what will happen in the United States if you allow all the schmucks to bring the country to crisis. To promise people all kinds of goodies and a paradise on Earth. To destabilize your economy. To eliminate the principle of free market competition and to put a Big Brother government in Washington DC with benevolent dictators like Walter Mondale who will promise lots of things, never mind whether the promises are fulfilled or not. He will go to Moscow to kiss the bottoms of a new generation of Soviet assassins, never mind, he will create false illusions that the situation is under control. The situation is not under control. The situation is disgustingly out of control.

    Most of the American politicians, media, and educational system, trains another generation of people who think they are living at the peace time. False. The United States is in a state of war. Undeclared total war against the basic principles and the foundations of this system. And the initiator of this war is not Comrade Andropov of course, it’s the system — however ridiculous it may sound — the world Communist system, or the world Communist conspiracy. Whether I scare some people or not I don’t give a hoot. If you are not scared by now, nothing can scare you.

    But you don’t have to be paranoid about it. What actually happens now, that unlike myself, you have literally several years to limp on unless the United States wakes up. The time bomb is ticking, with every second the disaster is coming closer and closer, unlike myself you will have no where to defect to. Unless you want to live in Antarctica with penguins. This is it, this is the last country of freedom and possibility.

    I can’t help thinking that four (or, god forbid, eight) years from now we’re going to have so much fun undoing what the Dems are about to do.

    I’m with you, Denver. I have two young kids and can’t afford to give up for their sakes. We’ve got to start thinking like those libtards, the devious bastards. Like Rush says, if they lose an election, they get right to work on something else, like infiltrating the educationals system, history books, judicial system, etc. If you haven’t read Tony Blankley’s article titled “Me Too Conservatism,” do it now. It’s outstanding and a great motivator.

    Haven’t read all the comments so sorry if already mentioned. In theory, the fairness doctrine would be a great thing. Heck, communism looks good on paper where everyone shares in the prosperity. Unfortunately, once put in practice it will be a disaster that affects only the conservative voice. I have heard some conservtive talk shows say “bring it on because then the rest of the MSM will have to have me on”. The flaw in that thinking is, who determines what is fair? The gov’t of course. The libs already beleive the MSM is fair to even being center right (nutcases). So the gov’t will say having some left of center moderate is providing the voice of conservatives. True conservatism will be dead. The re-education coup de gras will have been won.
