DNC's Media Matters Calls for Airwaves Censorship
What did I tell you--I did not think it would be this quick--but nevertheless, the gauntlet has now been laid down.
And do not think this is an accident; it is merely opportunistic: If it hadn't been Imus it would have been another talk host. They were just waiting for some kind of talk radio faux pas to jump on in order to open the pandora's box they've all been waiting to open. The one with the code name called "Equal Time." But whose modern day translation is: Stalinist-era censorship and thought police. No, this is not a spontaneous reaction to a bunch of women's basketball players--these women were USED every bit as much as Tawana Brawley was used. This was pre-planned and well orchestrated "hit" on talk radio.
Think about it: no Limbaugh, Hannity, Miller, Hewitt, Prager, Medved, Ingraham. No Brit Hume or Fred Barnes. No O'Reilly.
But the "PC" version of equal time would still allow plenty of Matthews and Olberman, and Sharpton and Jackson. After all they don't use the Left's definition of "have speech" (translation: any speech that criticizes the Left, people on the Left, or ideologies of the Left. Can you see speech against the unproven and unlikely notion of human-caused Global Warming qualifying as "hate speech"? I can. And just why do you think it is that the Dems have been scattering like ants from the FOX Presidential debatesThey have been talking about it for over a year now: now they have their excuse. And now the full court press is on.
The center-right had better be on its game, pronto. If we do not fight this with all our might and will--and win this fight, I am convinced we will LOSE the country. It is that serious. It will only take one lost Presidential election: then the FCC pulls the plug. Then there will be no voices from the right to silence. They will own the airwaves and Herr Goebbels will have risen from the ashes of the Fuhrerbunker.
The so-called culture war is about to get bloody. We in the blogosphere had better be ready to lock and load. It is about everything. It is about economic growth vs. taxation, unemployment and stagnation; it is about whether or not PC-driven lawyers allow Sharia law to become a way of life in America; it is about whether madmen eventually get to claim their longed for prizes: Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Washington, New York, Los Angeles, London. Poof. Randy Newman comes true.
It starts with silencing your voice, and it has started. The question is: what are you going to do about it.
