Meet the FCC Diversity Czar
The far Left Center for American Progress has its tentacles everywhere.
I noted in my column on the Internet Snitch Brigade this morning that former CAP operatives have been installed at HHS and work closely with the health care czar.
At Newsbusters, Seton Motley reports on the new FCC “Diversity Officer” — a racial engineering czar who has been targeting conservative talk radio since his days working for CAP.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced a new “Chief Diversity Officer,” communications attorney Mark Lloyd.
But Doctor of Jurisprudence Lloyd is far more than merely a communications attorney. He was at one time a Senior Fellow at the uber-liberal Center for American Progress (CAP), for whom he co-wrote a June 2007 report entitled “The Structural Imbalance of Political Talk Radio.”
Which rails against the fact that the American people overwhelmingly prefer to listen to conservative (and Christian) talk radio rather than the liberal alternative, and suggests ways the federal government can remedy this free-market created “problem.”
* Restore local and national caps on the ownership of commercial radio stations.
* Ensure greater local accountability over radio licensing.
* Require commercial owners who fail to abide by enforceable public interest obligations to pay a fee to support public broadcasting.These last two get perilously close to the use of “localism” to silence conservative (and Christian) radio stations, about which we have been warning for quite some time.

The fairness doctrine by any other name….
Oh My GOD.
They are going to try and silence us FOREVER.
Don’t Tread on ME.

So let me get this straight, the preference of the American people is now a problem that must be solved?
This reminds me of a poster from several years back that sported a photo of an orangutan with the caption, “When I want your opinion, I’ll beat it out of you.”
Kiss.Freedom.BaBye
F*ck
Concerned
Citizens
Yeah. Looking out for “U”…as in U-nions.
Motley “Screw” coming to a town near you!
Where are all the conservative lawyers? Why are none of them seemingly concerned about our rights, and the wrong direction Obama, et al, are taking this Great Nation?
If it looks, appears, smells, or sounds like it’s wrong…IT”S WRONG!
C’mon, Counselors. Stand up and be counted! The only other option is not the one patriotic America wants, or needs. But, absent alternatives, it will come. God help us!
Has he passed the bar?
Libs prefer that all broadcasters have a inferior product like Air America. Libs don’t live in a “free enterprise” world. They live in a subsidized, hand-out, screw business world.
Now, tell me who is surprised by this?
It’s pretty blatant at this point. The socialist progressive democrats are not even bothering to cover up some of what they are doing. It’s in your face.
Your rights as an American are being stripped away daily. It’s the raping of the constitution by Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Rham and the rest of the democrats.
The name “chief diveristy officer” tells it all. Quota implementation. I have a question. If diversity is such a great thing, why does the government and business have to dictate it and jam it down everyone’s throats (by jawboning and threats) for decades? I get educating people to the benefits for a couple of years but this has gone on for decades with no end in sight. Diversity is four letter word.
And so it begins…
Stifle free speech by any avenue TPTB deem necessary. We have a long fight on our hands.
we already have the brown (purple) shirts attacking any protesters, and now they want to censor (close) radio stations. hugo chavez and fidel castro have nothing on prez allah (bbuh). yo lgm, the party of peace and inclusiveness would never attack citizens for merely protesting gubmint policies.
Well, at least I’ve got my shortwave so I can huddle in my basement to listen to Rush when he’s forced to transmit from a pirate station on a barge anchored outside of territorial waters.
Diversity? From the same mouths that are shouting that Sotomayor is the first hispanic SC justice?
Um, yeah, because they shot down Gonzales.
what you meant.
eep; thanks dexter.
the more i see of this left wing crap that’s going on and changing our country to a socialist state the madder i get at the RNC and the lame a$$ candidates we had last years…not to mention the lazy populous that don’t even know the name of the secretary of state or the name of V.P.
There should be a simple civics test passed in order to vote in any election, since elections start on the local level.
Does this mean if someone decides they do not like your radio show, they can complain and get you fined out of business?
and this preference is a “problem” why?
All hail Odopey, bow to “the dillweed”
I have the day off today and can finally put my 2 cents in. I was enjoying a lovely 60 degree morning with a high chance of rain (there goes than pesky Gorebull warming again) in the high desert of middle of nowhere Idaho working on my 2nd Amendment abilities (after all gun control is using both hands and hitting what you aim at). The way ‘dear leader’ and his minions are going I have a feeling I will need these skills very soon. I live in a Military town with a large population of those icky US Constitution supporting bible thumping gun clinging potential domestic terrorist veterans and the talk running around town and the base is not if we stand up and fight, but when.
The way there are trying to silence descent is sickening. Calling anyone that disagrees with ‘dear leader’ racists, calling us Nazis while you use their tactics, using Union thugs at town hall meetings to assault conservatives, and now appointing another freaking Czar to silence free speech on the airwaves. I can’t thank our lovely hostess and other conservative voices for keeping us slack jawed peons in the loop. Brace for impact folks the stuff is about to hit the circular oscillating device.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE (mo-lone lah-veh) Translation: Come and take them!

HI BOOMER #20–A lot of “flyover space” peons like you and me (in Texas) think along the same lines.

Forty years ago I never would have believed that the majority of the American people could possibly be so stupid as to elect President Obama (PBUH), SanFranNan, Dirty Harry Reid, and the majority of the “democratic” / liberal / socialist / marxist / statist / communist clowns that have taken over our government and are changing it into the new United Socialistic States of Amerika.
***
But people are waking up to reality–the policies they are implementing will continue to trash our economy. And our enemies will soon gain their long denied takeover targets–Taiwan, South Korea, Ukraine, etc. And the TERRORISTS will bring on more attacks due to the real and perceived weakness of our country.
***
Shutting down talk radio, the Fox TV Channel, and internet is the statist’s objective. But I don’t think it is going to happen. Get in their faces and vote them out in 2010 and 2012.

They are called THE ACLJ.
I’d prefer that the free market decide with minimal Government regulations and interference.
Had to DVR Beck. Watched the segment on FCC
CzarAdviser Lloyd late last night.I didn’t fall asleep until 3 a.m.
This is some seriously twisted commie crap!
At least the word’s getting out on these Marxists.
Thx M/M!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
There was a time when “passing the bar” meant one was entering the afterlife – like the late
lamentedTed Kennedy.
