"A CALL TO ARMS"
BY: DR. FOREST LEWIS
My fellow Conservatives and Republicans--get ready for a tough, knock-down--drag out fight with the liberal left!
Like a wounded animal, these folks are hopping mad now that their pet project, the "Illegal Amnesty Bill" has gone down to a stinging defeat in the U.S. Senate. Proponents of the "Amnesty Bill" are blaming people like "Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity" for the bill's defeat. Wimpy Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid has the nerve to intimate that Limbaugh and Hannity are disseminators of "Republican Talking Points."
This little twerp seems to forget all of the hostile comments that have come from his nasty little mouth. His folks from the "Hit And Run Media" will pick up the ball and now run with the "spoken word" of Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Kohn-Kerry, et.al. Mark my words!
They will attempt to show the American people that folks who listen to Conservative Talk Radio, are nothing but a bunch of racists, Southern Red Neck, Homophobes. The socialists media will try to convince the American people that the only way to muzzle Conservative Talk Radio is to reenact the so-called "Fairness Doctrine." My friends, do not be fooled. These people aren't interested in "fairness." They are only interested in controlling the minds of the American people.
What those who are attempting to revive the fairness doctrine aren't telling you is this. Under the fairness doctrine, whining liberals could go crying to program directors of radio stations, demanding that they be given "equal time" to rebut something that they didn't like. In the case of a Rush Limbaugh, can you imagine what that would do to his syndicated show?
Rush is on hundreds of radio stations throughout this country. Make no mistake about it ladies and gentlemen, the libs have their sights on Rush. If this fairness crap is ever brought back, you can say goodbye to Rush and those of his ilk. Owners of radio stations are business people. In other words, they are out to make money.
If they are inundated with whining liberals crying for equal time, they will jettison Limbaugh quicker than you can say, "The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Fence." This is the unstated goal of socialist liberals. They understand the power of talk radio. They suck at it, but they fully understand that Conservative Talk Radio has the ability to galvanize the masses. This is what angers these socialists. So, get ready for a battle royal!
I heard this whining idiot, Ellis Henican, a Fox News Contributor this morning. According to Henican, "All That We Want Is Fairness." "The Airwaves Belong To The People." What he failed to grasp is that radio is a business; And it is the people who have decided that liberal talk radio "Sucks," and Conservative Talk Radio is where straight thinking/highly intelligent Americans go in order to broaden their outlook on the salient issues of the day.
Contrary to what Henican and the rest of the socialists in his party thinks, Conservatives are not "Mind Numb Robots." They are not like liberals. Conservatives who listen to talk radio--are "Free Thinkers." And unlike liberals, they also listen to their cry baby opponents!
Another point that Hehican misses is this. It was not Conservative Talk Radio that sunk the "Illegal Amnesty Bill." It was lying/arrogant politicians who raised the ire of the American people. Talk Radio was simply a vehicle used by the Rush Limbaughs of the radio world to engage his listenership in and open and honest dialogue on this crucial subject: That could have torn our culture sunder!
So, the angry left has now set its sights on Conservative talk radio. What about CBS, NBC or ABC? These people are far from fair and balanced. And what about newspapers which are owned mainly by libs? You won't hear the John Kohn-Kerrys or Harry Reids talk about these entities. The reason why is because the libs are constantly shown in a positive light by the aformentioned networks and newspapers. This so-called fairness issue is merely a liberal smoke screen.
Hearing liberals demand that the fairness doctrine be revived makes me want to regurgitate. Listen to what Jeff Lieberson, a spokesman for Congressman Maurice Hinchey, democrat from New York City had to say:
"The political interest of media owners can have a direct and indirect effect on the way news is presented to the public, so it's important that all sides are heard"
Hinchey has proposed what is called the, "Media Ownership Reform Act." The fairness doctrine is a major piece of this bill: which by the way calls for stricter limits on media ownership. I chuckled at another comment made by Hinchey's professional mouthpiece, Jeff Lieberson:
"This is not an attempt to muzzle(CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO) them at all. They will still be heard. This will ensure that different views that are not theirs will also be heard"
Cliff Kincaid, a colleague of mine's, and also head of Accuracy in the Media said balderdash:
Make no bones aout it, they want to force the conservative media to hand over air time to liberals. When federal bureaucrats dictate the content of radio and TV shows, it's muzzling to tell them what to say and how to say it"
Kincaid added:
"Liberals used to dominate the media, and they are irritated there are competing voices, so now they want to reign in the conservative media using the federal government. There is no prohibition against liberal talk radio. Liberals tried talk radio and it was not successful in the market place"
If you will recall, liberals propped up "Air America" to the tune of "Millions And Millions Of Dollars." It was so "Boring, (zzzzzzzzzzzz) that "Air America" is now in bankruptcy.
Believe me folks, there is a huge war looming on the horizon. Don't believe so? Well, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, democrat from Ohio, and chairman of the House subcommittee on domestic policy recently announced that he would be holding hearings on the media.
Kucinich wasn't bashful when he said that his hearings would "Center" on restoring the "Fairness Doctrine."

It's NOT right-wing radio hosts that set the agenda or program topics. It's the listeners. If a host advocates baby ducks and it doesn't resonate with his audience then they'll let him know. And that host will move on to another topic.

What the left fails to understand is that most "AMERICANS ARE CONSERVATIVE." And they reject the left's socialitst message.
