next target of the left will be talk radio

[RandallFlagg]

Paraphrasing previous post: Bill Maher is AN ENTERTAINER. The View is ENTERTAINMENT. No idea who you're talking about on Showtime but no doubt that's another ENTERTAINER.

The fact that a comedian or an estrogen talk show reflects real life outside your Bubble doesn't make them a tool of the left; perhaps it makes them the real world you can't bring yourself out of the Bubble to face. What abject paranoia.

Not to mention -- "Why wouldn't this be the opportunity they have looked for years now to destroy their nemesis?" -- what the hell are you talking about? What "opportunity"?? This entire thread is based on a single blogger's paragraph that "the left is coming to silence talk radio"... a blogger who gave no basis or background whatsoever for that. Just an empty claim like Uncensored's bullshit. It's as if I told you there's a burglar coming to your house, and gave you no details at all because I just made it up. That's really all it takes, huh?

What's more, we've been asking since the start of the thread where this leftist censorship is or was, and have yet to hear anything more than crickets.

You guys just fall all over yourselves at the slightest suggestion. Paranoia strikes deep. That's why "Another Obama/leftist/liberal/progressive/commie/socialist/fascist conspiracy theory" applies. Some of y'all are drawn to it like moths to a flame. And in this case, you don't even need a flame; you just make one up. It's pretty pathetic.

Rush Limbaugh is ENTERTAINMENT.

Infotainment ... You can leave his show informed on something.....Whether you agree with him or not is irrelevant.....I sure wouldnt agree with Mahers hateful ass but I would want him taken off the air because I dont agree.

So let me make certain that I understand this. When The left was pulling their hair out by the roots over Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest, those commentators weren't "entertainers" but rather some "evil" that needed to be scourged from the air waves.

Now you tell me that that worthless price of human flesh Maher and that communist Oliver Stone (Showtime) and that "thing in a dress" Behar are "entertainers"....OK..I get it now.....

All are homers for their own political sides, and every 90 days before election time they should have to present the other side equally.

 

[BlindBoo]

lol at people defending joseph fucking mccarthy.

talk about disconnected from reality.

Hey dumb ass learn some history McCarthy was correct about communists in government.....

McCarthy was wrong, dead wrong, and anyone who thinks otherwise is dellusional.

I don't mean to say we did not have communist sympathizers in positions of the U.S. government and it would have been well to focus on them. But the unconstitutional tactics against everyone in his hate-groups was anathema to the Constitution.

"I have here in my hand a list of 205...."

Sound alot like Rep. West to me.

 

[JakeStarkey]

West is a McCarthyite, so is Walsh, so is Bachmann.

Goddamn, they're all entertainers. They're the political equivalent of professional wrestling, complete with the poor souls who actually take them seriously. And, as long as they have enough people who want to listen, as long as they can attract enough advertising revenue to remain economically viable, they should be able to do what they do without the heavy and partisan hand of government controlling their freedom of expression.

This is about politics, nothing more.

Couldn't agree more. I canceled my subscription to HBO and Showtime solely because they both employ Maher and Stone (respectively). I wouldn't walk across the street to watch the "view" and I have Sirius radio in both my automobiles so I DON'T have to listen to anyone I don't want to.

When I want "entertainment" I listen to Raw Dog or whatever. There is more than enough political BS on this planet WITHOUT voluntarily subjecting myself to it in my spare time. I get more than enough of the BS right here, thank you!!

However, for those of you left wing commies, or you right wing extremists - have at it. There are plenty of "conspiracies" for everyone.....

And before any of you "high-minded" lefties come at me with the "hypocrite" crap - I'm 68 years old. I come here to keep my mind active and nothing more. Most of you aren't worth the time and effort (you're too far gone) but I do so enjoy stirring the pot....

Depends on how much Rush/Stuff you actually believe.

thanatos is lost as usual

 

[Uncensored2008]

::yawn:: done yet? My god that was the most boring babblation ever.

I feel your pain, how dare anyone question the party or the state media.

And completely irrelevant since Murrow's show wasn't about any of that; it was about McCarthy's tactics of witch hunting and its impact on freedom of speech. As he put it "dissent is not disloyalty". IOW as usual, the direct opposite of this comic book
fantasy of yours.

So, history has shown that McCarthy was 100% correct, that those he accused were in fact Soviet spies. But facts don't matter, only party. I mean, treason isn't a problem, you have a party to promote and protect.

The fact is that the "witch hunt" was conducted by Murrow against McCarthy for the purpose of distracting from the now irrefutable fact that the Truman Administration was full of Soviet operatives. Murrow was used to create a shit storm against McCarthy, not just to destroy the factual investigation underway, but also as warning that should anyone dare expose the connection between the party and the Soviets, they too would experience the destruction of their lives by Herr Goebbels and his managed media. Murrow learned well from his mentor.

How the fuck would I know about episodes of "Law and Order"? I take it that's a TV show. This is a thread about talk radio. I don't even watch television. By the way slander and libel are the same thing, in verbal or documented form. But neither is present just because you find an opinion you don't share. But you're off topic anyway. Again.

Yawn, fabricated haughtiness by yet another Bolshevik who is far too intellectual to soil himself with the television. Laughable bullshit, at best.

Slander and libel are similar - but only a dolt claims they are the same thing.

Right -- by ensuring rebuttal. What a brilliant plan that is. Duh.

So, you'll be putting a rebuttal section on Madcow, Matthews, Jon Stewart, et al. any day now, right Comrade?

Oh, this is ONLY about talk radio, since the rest of the media is comfortably in party hands. I mean, the goal is the censor the right, not offer opposing views on, well "The View."

ROFL

You authoritarians would be a hoot, if not for the forced labor prisons, death camps, and armed thugs you bring along with you.

Doubtful huh? That's exactly what Red Lion vs. FCC was about; the broadcast in question was a national network broadcast and WGCB, the petitioner, was one of many stations that carried the program.

Not at all, Red Lion dealt with a single broadcast carried across multiple affiliates. A vastly different issue than 300 local Apparatchiks independently reading the script and ad libbing the views Murrow and the party provided them.

"Alternative voices" is exactly what the FD was about. You just shot your own point in the foot before it could walk. Duh.
Maybe I misspelled it: should be Duh-blethink.

Utter bullshit, as you well know. If the goal were alternative voices, then "mission accomplished" - but here you are demanding that conservative voices be censored. So clearly your goal is to silence ideas contrary to the message of the party.

"Complete control of the news and public opinion" in the age of Eisenhower and the Cold War. Jesus Christ on a freaking bicycle...

Which is why Eisenhower, a left wing Republican, represented the alternative to the democrats. Eisenhower was the epitome of big government excess.

What the fuck does any of that mean? Who brought up these cable people and what do they have to do with anything? You keep trying to derail the subject why? Because you're floating obvious contradictions and want to get the spotlight off them, that's why. Didn't work before, doesn't work now, and won't work in the future.

Right, because you only seek to silence radio. TV already is fully controlled by the party - no need for a change there.

Good luck with learning English. As has been the case since the beginning of the thread, a lot of cheap bullshit self-contradictory claims offering no foundation whatsoever except paranoid fantasies of "everybody's against me". Not in the least impressed.

What reason do you have for seeking to censor radio?

If you bleat "equal time," then support your nonsense by demonstrating that the left, with CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS has LESS hours per week to further the agenda of the party than the right does on talk radio to oppose the agenda of the party.

 

[JakeStarkey]

yawn, Uncensored is silly again, trying to defend a criminal like McCarthy, who was brought down by his own party

 

[Uncensored2008]

Actually serving the public interest in this case increases the dialog and has absolutely nothing to do with your boogyman the Bolsheviks.

So to you, serving the party, and serving "the public interest," are one and the same thing?

Silencing dissent serves the party, thus is in the "public interest."

The rule has nothing to do with paid telecom/media services.

Which is why it's so kewl. You can impose censorship on radio, where the right dominates, without affecting the monopoly position you of the left hold on television.

The reason Dittoheads like you cringe at the thought of your Messiah's devious sermons being challenged is simply "you don't want an honest discussion". You'd rather toss insults like "Bolsheviks" and " Khmer Rouge types" than try and defend his obvious shallow talking points.

Challenged?

You mean Jon Stewart, Rachel Madcow, little drooling Chrissy Matthews don't "challenge" what he says?

Come on, there is far more "challenge" than there is original content. What you of the left can't abide, is that talk radio dares challenge party orthodoxy, thus you seek to censor ONLY talk radio, while the wild eyed left remain free to push the party agenda.

Your insult to working class liberals is noted.

Those who work a non-government job, are not leftists. The left is comprised of an obscenely wealthy elite, a small army of government employed apparatchiks, and the dependent class.

The other people, the productive people, are conservative. You know this.

Again and as has been stated many many times, the fairness doctrine sought not to limit the various public discussions but to expand them.

Just as Pol Pot's reeducation camps sought to expand the knowledge of those in them.

Yeah, you of the left are a real peach.

I think a purely partisan show like Rush and all the other political shows that want to broadcast a single political perspective 24/7 should be on pay radio.

But purely partisan shows like "The View" are just hunky dory.

You want to silence opposition voices - simple as that. You represent the standard model of the anti-liberty left.

 

[Uncensored2008]

lol at people defending joseph fucking mccarthy.

talk about disconnected from reality.

Question, stupid fuck. Which members of Government that McCarthy stated were Soviet collaborates, turned out not to be?

 

[Uncensored2008]

I know, right?
More of that history revisionism along with "fascism is on the left" and "Roosevelt prolonged the Depression" and whatever else. I predict the next one will be "Nixon got framed". All part of a nefarious plan to scrub the history books. Funny thing is, they think anyone outside their own Bubble takes them seriously.

We could do a whole 'nother topic on McCarthy. (/offtopic)

Feel free to point up the "revisionism," comrade. Which accusations of McCarthy were false?

If you can't come up with any, then we have no choice but to admit that Murrow, and the fucking scum of the democratic party, unjustly smeared McCarthy - that it was YOU who destroyed careers on the basis of rumor and falsehood, along with piles of shit like Edward R. Murrow, America's own Josef Goebbels.

 

[Uncensored2008]

McCarthy was wrong, dead wrong, and anyone who thinks otherwise is dellusional.

What was he wrong about?

Owen Lattimore?

Oh, you're just lying for your party to keep up the smear on someone who exposed the depth of the treason the democrats were engaged in.

I don't mean to say we did not have communist sympathizers in positions of the U.S. government and it would have been well to focus on them. But the unconstitutional tactics against everyone in his hate-groups was anathema to the Constitution.

You mean, like launching a media campaign to falsely accuse enemies and attack them on a personal level?

Oh wait, that was you fuckers of the Khmer Rouge, AGAINST McCarthy. Piles of shit like Edward Murrow used the tactics he learned from Josef Goebbels to libel McCarthy on the most personal level, claiming the Senator was "insane" and "a drunk." You bastards will repeat the slander to this day - as a mantra of the party.

"I have here in my hand a list of 205...."

Which turned out to be what McCarthy claimed - verified long after the witch hunt by the left destroyed him, but vindicated in fact, despite the fact the the filthy democrats continue to lie and slander to this day.

So Boo,

Owen Lattimore - Soviet, or not?
Harry Hopkins - Soviet, or not?
Harry Dexter White - Soviet, or not?
John Stewart Service - Soviet, or not?
John Patton Davies - Soviet, or not?

I know, facts don't matter. The fact that McCarthy was right is irrelevant, he was embarrassing the party by exposing the level of infiltration, if not outright collaboration between the democrats and the Soviets. You HAD to destroy him, and our own Josef Goebbels, Edward Murrow, was just the man to do it.

Sound alot like Rep. West to me.

You sound a lot like Pol Pot to me.

 

[Uncensored2008]

West is a McCarthyite, so is Walsh, so is Bachmann.

A good Stalinist like you always makes such a charge, Jakematters.

 

[Uncensored2008]

Depends on how much Rush/Stuff you actually believe.

No doubt your party has a "loyalty test" to determine that.

RUSH: Mark my brilliant words on this. That's how this stuff starts. Now, the question is: is CO2 even a pollutant? Is it an air pollutant? Because if it is, then all the water vapor on this planet is a pollutant. The vast majority of CO2 that's in the atmosphere comes from water vapor.
