Dictator-tot: ‘fairness doctrine’ unfair

I... what? My farking head…

In Nashville today, during a panderthon to the National Religious Broadcasters Convention, Smirky McYellowpants again resorted to lying and fear, telling his audience that "there’s nothing fair about the Fairness Doctrine” --

"This organization has had many important missions, but none more important than ensuring our airways - America’s airways - stay open to those who preach the ‘Good News.’ The very first amendment to our Constitution includes the freedom of speech and the freedom of religion. Founders believed these unalienable rights were endowed to us by our Creator. They are vital to a healthy democracy, and we must never let anyone take those freedoms away.”

“We know who these advocates of so-called balance really have in their sights: shows hosted by [bigoted, hateful] people like [divorced, pillpopping junkie] Rush Limbaugh or [raving nutjob] James Dobson, or many of you here today. By insisting on so-called balance, they want to silence those they don’t agree with. The truth of the matter is, they know they cannot prevail in the public debate of ideas. They don’t acknowledge that you are the balance … The country should not be afraid of the diversity of opinions. After all, we’re strengthened by diversity of opinions.”
Who said anything about silencing??? WTF is wrong with you??
