The War On Talk Radio
get ready, your idea of free speach is about to be tested, the leftest are willing to use the power of government to takeyour freedom of speach away, all because it is exposing them for the socialist trash that they are.
THE WAR ON TALK RADIO As talkers prove their influence on public policy, the sharp knives come out -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: July 30, 2007 3:30 a.m. Eastern http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/ar...TICLE_ID=56827 © 2007 WorldNetDaily.com Though most Americans aren't yet aware of it, talk radio – from Rush Limbaugh to the local talker in small-town America – is under major attack, reports the August issue of WND's acclaimed Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE WAR ON TALK RADIO." And no wonder: Last month radio talkers presided over a minor American revolution when they urged millions of citizens to successfully oppose the immigration/amnesty bill that the president and both political parties had been pushing relentlessly. It went down in flames – a devastating blow to the political establishment. Now it's revenge time. If radio talkers, in conjunction with the Internet, can mobilize Americans to oppose the political elite with regard to immigration, what kind of effect might they have on voters during the critically important November 2008 presidential election just around the corner? The fact is, powerful forces in and out of politics feel extremely threatened by this one part of the mass media that overwhelmingly champions traditional American values. In short: They want talk radio crippled before it does any more "damage." Ironically, virtually the entire "Old Media," including the broadcast networks, major daily newspapers, newsmagazines and wire services like the Associated Press, represent views far to the left of Middle America, as every study for the past three decades has proven conclusively. It is only talk radio and the Internet – the "New Media" – that provide any balance and fairness to what has until recently been a leftist media monopoly. As the incendiary August issue of Whistleblower magazine proves, "THE WAR ON TALK RADIO" is rapidly heating up, and involves many different types of attacks. Some are already well under way, some waiting in the wings, some out in the open, some behind the scenes. All are intended to throttle talk radio. Some of the attacks are congressional, such as the controversial "Fairness Doctrine" which would legally require that views expressed on a radio talk show be "balanced" with opposing views – a surefire formula for destroying talk radio, critics contend. But beyond the "Fairness Doctrine," which was defeated – for the time being – a few weeks ago, Sen. John Kerry has gone so far as to call for bringing back the equal-time provisions. That would mandate not just "fairness" in broadcasts – by forcibly requiring that "conservative" views be balanced with "liberal" views – but actual minute-for-minute, second-by-second measurements of what is said on the public airwaves. Some of the attacks on talk radio are quiet and technical – like proposals to force minority ownership on radio stations in an effort to get a more left-leaning worldview on the air. That would be accomplished by: 1) limiting how many radio stations one company can own, 2) shortening broadcast license terms, 3) requiring radio broadcasters to regularly show they are operating in the "public interest," and 4) believe it or not, imposing a fee on broadcasters who fail to meet these "public interest obligations" with the funding to go to the Corporation for Public Broadcasting! Other attacks are more public and sensational – like the efforts of Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton against talk show hosts. After successfully leading the charge against talker Don Imus for using a watered-down version of the coarse language that permeates today's black music industry, Sharpton said: "It is our feeling that this is only the beginning. We must have a broad discussion on what is permitted and not permitted in terms of the airwaves." Talk radio executives are convinced Jackson and Sharpton are sharpening their knives to go after more talk hosts for "abuse of the airwaves." Still other attacks are based on charges of "bigotry and hate speech." Currently, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, John Gibson and Michael Smerconish have all been declared to be under scrutiny for their on-air "hate speech." a little off topic here.... ask yourself a big question. we are supposed to be having a war on terror right? well, terror is a tactic, declairing war in a tactic is impossable, that would be like declairing war on the blitzcreigers, what we are at war with is islamic facist, and if we are at war with terrorist wanting to do us harm then why in the hell has the government left the borders between the US canada and mexico wide openm it makes common sence to close your borders if you are being threatened by the possablility of some1 comeing in and causing you harm, that is what you do if there is a immenent threat on your country. CLOSE YOUR BORDERS, if we are under such a big threat from these people why hasnt more been done to controll the boarders, is it so that there will be a big attack in the future so that they can create another policeing force, or so that they can declair an emergeny and suspent the constitution and bill of rights under martial law? who knows. and has any1 ever heard of the department of heartland security? no it was what the department of homeland security used to be called, they just changed the name and you belived that they made another organization to help you. like the KGB it is still around but under a diffrent name aand used to be called something other than KGB, they create an organization, start off small, then as time goes on let people attack your country(or attack it yourself) give them more power and change the name and say that you make another organization to help defend the nation, remember, DAS HOMELAND SECURITY is there to help you, not. it is just another organization that is not needed and formed only to spy on americans and hurass them justlike the gestapo. all the people we had in the guard and other military units b4 911 we could have sealed the border without any problem, so why change the name of an existing organization and give them more power to spy and controll? yes i said it again, ISLAMIC facist, i am not afraid to say it, and any1 that is afraid to say it ,shame on you, no1 should be afraid to speak their mind in the US, and if you are then something is terrably wrong. the constitution and bill of rights is supposed to put chains upon the government so that you can say what you belive without the fear of being persicuted for your belief, and if you are afraid to say your mind knowing that you have these rights given to you NOT BY THE GOVERNMENT, but by god himself, remember FOR THE PEOPLE BY THE PEOPLE. if you are afraid to speak your mind knowing that you have the right to free speach, that means that some1 has done something in the government to make you afraid of speaking your mind for fear of prosicution, unless you are just a coward and are afraid of what some1 will think of you in that case just sit back and watch them take more freedoms that you arnt willing to fight for.

About bloody time! I don't want to turn on my radio in the morning commute listen to such trash. Let them take that garbage on satellite radios! What all the radio hosts named do nothing but incite people to commit hate crime in the name of patriotism!
When people start throwing acid filled bottles at a place of prayers it is time "freedom of speech" has gone too far and it is time to shut down these hate mongers before anyone really gets hurt!

i dont throw acid, i dont hurt people because they dont agree with me, those are a few individuals that are being stupid and give the real patriot a bad name.
and have ya ever thought that the people that throw those acid bottols at places of prayer are trying to get the responce that you just gave? some1 throws acid and says that it was the government that drove them to do it might just be the other side trying to give the real patriot a bad name so they lose credibility and so people will hate them and call them radicals and say that whatever they say is wrong, happened b4. ever heard of thesis anti thesis synthisis? you create a problem, (in this case kill people and say that you are a patriot and the government made you do it) demonstrate the problem(say that it is getting out of hand and run it on CNN every day for months and say we gota do something or the world as we know it will end) and present an answer to the problem you created( by taking away the freedom of speach and that turns int a big regulation on information to insure that nothing can contridict what the socialist are saying) and no1 is saying that any1 has to listen to talk radio ither, if ya dont like it there is a button that ya can push to change the channel, the real patriot stations dont preach violence and kill government people, we try to put the truth out and let the voters decide for themselves wether or not to belive it, violence is only reserved for if the other side trys to silence us by force, i dont know what station you listened to but i wouldnt go there if it says kill they neighbor and overthrow the government. i dont say overthrow government, but i do say pay attention and look at what the people in our government do and decide if you want to vote for them next time, that is how you change the government , not by violence but by the power of voting. and there was that little word you said, HATE CRIME, can you tell me who started to preach thought crime, oh im sorry HATE CRIME? ya know being streight and if ya kill a queer even thoe he is trying to hurt ya, it will be forged into a hate crime, because he is gay ya must have killed him because he was gay. it was the socialist politicians and the ACLU that ar holier than thou that started this hate crime crap, and like a good little mushroom you took it on as your own vocabulary. say it enough and the populis will start to belive it and it will become part of their lives. but the responce u gave is the standard responce of some1 who belives what the socialist belive, oh you can have your freedom of speach but we will just decide what you can and cant say and edit out what we dont think you need to hear or what doesnt go along with what we belive or what we want you to belive when they start controlling what you say and editing out what you do say it is no longer the freedome of speach but censorship. and i will say this, i is not up to the government to decide what is sutable for you to listen to, it is up to you, it is up to you. IT IS UP TO YOU, the individual to decide if you want to hear it, and if you dont want to hear it CHANGE THE CHANNEL, do not use the government to take the right to speak away just becauese you do not like what is being said, if you go to the government and get them to impose regulations on our freedoms you ar no better that the socialist beurocrats that want to controll you. it is up to you, i say again IT IS UP TO YOU ! to decide what you want to listen to, take some resposability for yourself.

im glad we gained our independence from england, it is opressions like shut up dont say this or dont go there, dont arm yourself, and taxed to death and getting trampled at every turn by the opressive king or queen that make me proud to be in america.
our fourfathers fought and died for this nation and ill be damed if im gona just watch government and dumb brainwashed sheeple take the freedoms that my ancestors fought so hard for away. and it is people with the attitudes well its ok they are only gona let what i think is sutable on the air, and people that have been brainwashed to think that freedom of speach is abused that are going to be the downfall of this great nation. the leftist that want to take the freedom of speach are the ones that have been whining that it is abused and they have been doing it so long that the people have started to belive it people have been lead so far astray that they cant tell the wolves from the sheepdogs anymore, who gets to decide what is sutable for you to hear when the government takes controll of the airwaves? who? shure the hell aint the people, for when has the government ever listened to the people? and when they controll the airwaves they will decide what is to be aired and they will only air what makes them seam great and what makes what they are saying look like the truth and being they are brainwashing kids in schools and since there is only the leftist side of the story then every1 will belive it is truth. i dare you to get a 5th grade history book from the 50s hell any textbook from the 50s and compair it to the school books of today, i bet you will be supprised at how much is left out now, that is why there are people graduating with honors that cant even read a simple sentence,why there are mechanical enginiers that are graduating at the top of thier class that cant light a lightbulb with a battery and a piece of wire, it is because they need to dumb every1 down and dumbed down and only being 1 side of a story being ignorant the populis will belive and follow blindly without question.. this has happened b4, why do you think that in the fudel systems that no1 was taught to read except for the scribes? so no1 could learn anything by reading so they would be dumb and wouldnt know any better. if ya dont know any better and info is controlled then how do you know what they are telling you is truthful? ya dont. just keep beliving that they have your best interest in mind, ill be laughing at ya from the outside of the barbwire. he who beats his sword into plowshears will plow for those who dont. he who forgets his past is destined to repeat it. he who controlles the past controlles the future, he who controlls the present controlles the past. im gonapost the greivences aganstthe king in the decloration and i gurentee that you will see things in there that are happening now.

ok here are the grievences aganstking George 3........
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them. He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only. He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures. He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences: For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty and perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the high Seas to bear Arms against their Country, to become the executioners of their friends and Brethren, or to fall themselves by their Hands. He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions. here is 1 that stands out....... He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our people, and eat out their substance. the MJTF, BATFE, FEMA, DAS Homeland Security, FBI, and all the other forces. and here is another......... He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions the savages could be considered as the street gangs that we are so powerless to get rid of, if we can sack a country in less than a month then we can easily take care of the savages aka street gangs. and here is another........ For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: how many of you voted for the last tax hike? should i go on? Last edited by Mauser 98K; 08-13-2007 at 04:19 PM.

you know that the U.K and the U.S both bleed side by side now days we are like brother in arms and trying to save each other to down grade the U.K is not right at all.
this was about the U.S taken freedom of speech and limit it or fine tune it! I'm all for it. most Radio station sell space for ads to be air on their station !!!MONEY!!! and if they inflame the public to get more to listing to their station! they are fine with it it make them money. more listing more ads space they sell to be air $$$$$, i really don't listing to radio much anymore i can live without it all together. you break it down it all B/s I'm with DD, BB, KB totally you care about the radio station getting their limited on free speech by the feds? the U.S is in the black when it come to money own & operated by other country's now days. the U.S-dollars is crap now days there is no pride in the word America made it now days items made by other country's who make things and we left in dust. radio station FM/AM is meaningless to me! i by god can live without them totally

Here freedom of speech is everything. If you wanna go protest naked about the War on Terror, nobody's gonna stop you (well, maybe not 100% literally, but you get what I mean

and who gets to decide what to limit? who gets to fine tune it? who gets to decide what is considered right or wrong under the new guidelines? if we let them fine tune it or limit it then it wont stop there , remember power corupts and absolute power absolutly corupts, if we let them start off small then it will get worse and worse till there is no talk radio anymore and if ya say something about the government it will be a killing offence under their new regulations, have we lerned nothing from history. and you cannot regulate something and still it be considered free, once you put a system of regulation on it it means it is now being controlled and being controlled it is not freedom anymore.
