Apparently we need DU's permission to speak in public
« on: March 07, 2012, 08:38:26 AM »
So what do we call them now?

Censors?

Freedom-haters?

Fascists?

In your opinion who is the most offensive Conservative Commentator that should be allowed on the air

It seems fairly clear that many on this board (possibly most) feel that Limbaugh has gone to far and does not deserve to be on the public airwaves anymore (if he ever did). So assuming we could remove him from those airwaves, would we move on to Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, et al? Or is Limbaugh just heinous enough that he cannot be on the airwaves anymore - but those other commentators, while terrible, are not so bad as to mandate being kicked off the air?

"should be allowed?"

I don't need your permission ****-****. I'm a free rabbit.

You aren't the gate-keeper. You're a petty wannabe tyrant.

Ever since Obama outlawed Catholicism these shit stains have been emboldened as never before. They smell blood in the water and they are in a feeding frenzy.

Don't forget: the dems in Colorado have passed a senate bill demanding religiously based health care providers to declare their religious affiliation and explain which health care procedures they will not provide. See the thread in GD.

2. Glen Beck

Isn't he over halfway to oblivion already?

I'd have to google him just to find out where he's currently working.

3. His radio show is still going on

Caught a bit of it last week. So you are saying he should be allowed to stay on the air?

So not agreeing to his fascism is now an implied accusation of disloyalty.

DUers are so blind. You have always been fascist. No amount of denial will change the facts. 

By the way, Glenn Beck has his own radio show for three hours a day. LINK

A streaming channel called GBTV. LINK

And a website called The Blaze. LINK

8. Left or right, you shouldn't be allowed on public airwaves for the

purpose of deception of the American people and undermining of democracy. A voter who is misinformed isn't good for democracy.

You can't air a commercial that lies about its product or other products...you shouldn't be able to lie about politics under the guise of public discourse in order to sell a party.

And opinion/analysis is different than demonstrable lies.

13. Lying and spreading misinformation should not be allowed-

Maybe lying is also free speech- I just have a problem with it.

Ever notice how these sorts of conversations never arise here?

My guess is because we're so in love with the ideal of personal liberty we can't even see it being taken away from filthy assholes like Mike Malloy.

But then again, we have principles and we live according to those principles. Unlike lefties who just want power and don't care who they hurt to get it.

One persons opinion/analysis is another persons lie.  Who gets to decide which is which?  Certainly not the political left as they have proven time and again they aren't qualified.

Should we allow the DUmpmonkies to pound away at their grubby keyboards today?  Should we let MSNBC go ahead with their daily broadcast?  Should we permit Malloy to broadcast today?  I say no.  Make it so. 


Did that work, DUmmies?  What exactly makes you think you have any power over anyone else's free speech?  What makes you think nobody will try and take it away from YOU?  Do you wish for a law that says "Mr. _____ hereby has the right and power to silence anyone he wishes."  Is that what you really want?

What I want to know is who is next after conservatices? Are they going to silence Blacks then or Jews or maybe Asians. Maybe they will go after Buddist or Hindus. Eventually they will get to someone that you like and then who will stand up to them.

AW, just who has the guns again?  They won't silence us, because they'll have to shed (lots of) their blood to do it.  They don't want to go that far.

No way they'd shed blood, man--that'd just totally harsh their mellow.

This might earn me a bitchslap or two.

I'm a big fan of Nat Hentoff. He's an amazing writer and columnist, and I have loved reading his stuff even though I disagree with a bunch of what he says. He says it well, he's not a moonbat, and I think it's good to hear differing opinions. He's also an expert on the First Amendment.

You know what he says the response should be to "hate speech"? More free speech. I love this quote from him:

"Those who created this country chose freedom. With all of its dangers. And do you know the riskiest part of that choice they made? They actually believed that we could be trusted to make up our own minds in the whirl of differing ideas. That we could be trusted to remain free, even when there were very, very seductive voices – taking advantage of our freedom of speech – who were trying to turn this country into the kind of place where the government could tell you what you can and cannot do."

I wish DU had a network of stations like Rush Limbaugh.  For an hour every day, someone could read threads from DU, and let people know what the left is really like. 

We don't want to silence the left, we encourage them to let their real thoughts be known.  Omaha Steve Dawes of Bellevue should be proud of his socialist views and not lie to the voters in his district.  Why does he like watching girls basketball anyway?

It will be somebody because a communist/socialist/fascist totalitarian state NEEDS enemies for the low IQers to hate for the conditions that the totalitarian state forces on them.

No bitchslap from me, Splash.  Great quote.  

Thanks for the links, BEG, maddening as they are.  


BTW, did anyone hear Rush at noon?  The left is crowing about 28 sponsors blah blah blah.  Sponsors are both national and local.  These were mainly local, who said something like "please don't run my drycleaners store ad during Rush for just the time being."  600 stations, with about 30 sponsers per, is a denominator of 18,000.  

28!!!!   :lmao:   Lurkers, he's having absolutely NO financial/business problems.

I have had a number of facebook "friends" say they were "un-friending" -- God I hate that word -- people who came out in favor of Rush, or against Fluke, or who didn't disavow Kirk Cameron or whatever. What they're left with is this echo chamber where they think every believes exactly what they do. And they call conservatives closed-minded...  :whatever:
