The Left Are Coming After Free Speech, Again
CBS Fired Imus on both TV and radio But, that is not going to satiate the communist fascists such as Media Matters for America which claims it has "extensively documented, bigotry and hate speech targeting, among other characteristics, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, and ethnicity continue to permeate the airwaves through personalities such as Glenn Beck, Neal Boortz, Rush Limbaugh, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Savage, Michael Smerconish, and John Gibson."
Glenn Beck? He is probably the nicest guy in talk radio! They have pieced together a video clip that is edited so I don't know if it is true or not.You can tell it was edited and I rarely miss his show and I never heard him say those things in that way. This group has zero credibility with me, they are a Left wing hit group. I inherently do not trust the Left, because they make things up and twist the facts, because the ends justify the means. and after all they are right and the rest of us are just knuckle dragging, uneducated, beer swilling, fly-over state dwellers who will destroy their dream of achieving Utopia.
Nowhere, on their site do they report on the wildly hate filled things coming out of Air America. why not? Hmm?
They didn't like that Neal Bortz said:
Well, he is right, it is just not politically correct. They would not care how many Liberals bad mouth Christianity.
Well, as I have said recently, we are emasculating men in this country and what do you call metrosexuals exactly? sissy boys sound good to me and the whole country is being sissified.
They go on to list other things he has said, all out of context of course. But I never listen to him, so who knows
If you want to read more of their nonsense go to their site.
The Left is going to use this Imus fiasco to come after Conservative Talk Radio. They are going to resurrect the fairness doctrine.
From Wikipedia
It is worse than that, the cost of notifying every group you are talking about, or every politician you do not endorse is ridiculous!
We had this nonsense once and got rid of it, of course the democrats want it back.
we are going down the wrong path...

On the July 19, 2006, edition of his radio show, Cox Radio Syndication's The Neal Boortz Show, Boortz claimed that "at its core," Islam is a "violent, violent religion," and said, "[T]his Muhammad guy is just a phony rag-picker." Boortz asserted that "[i]t is perfectly legitimate, perhaps even praiseworthy, to recognize Islam as a religion of vicious, violent, bloodthirsty cretins."
Well, he is right, it is just not politically correct. They would not care how many Liberals bad mouth Christianity.
Michael Smerconish
* Substituting for host Bill O'Reilly on the April 4, 2006, broadcast of Westwood One's The Radio Factor, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Smerconish repeatedly discussed "the sissification of America," claiming that political correctness has made the United States "a nation of sissies." Smerconish also claimed, several times, that this "sissification" and "limp-wristedness" is "compromising our ability to win the war on terror."
Well, as I have said recently, we are emasculating men in this country and what do you call metrosexuals exactly? sissy boys sound good to me and the whole country is being sissified.

From Wikipedia
In August 1987, the Commission abolished the doctrine by a 4-0 vote, in its Syracuse Peace Council decision. The FCC insisted that the doctrine had grown to inhibit rather than enhance debate and suggested that, due to the many media voices in the marketplace at the time, the doctrine was perceived to be unconstitutional.As it should be because it does limit debate. If you listen to talk radio, you know there are plenty of viewpoints from callers. They want every Talk radio show host to have someone sitting next to them with an apposing viewpoint. This would sure help the Left, because Left wing talk radio has been a dismal failure. Now they can sit next to the most successful show in talk radio, Rush.
It is worse than that, the cost of notifying every group you are talking about, or every politician you do not endorse is ridiculous!

Obligatory Don Imus Post
I cannot believe all the uproar over what Don Imus has recently said. I don't listen to Don Imus and I never liked him, but he is an equal opportunity insulter. He has insulted almost every segment of society.
Were the women offended? I don't know, but the black women I met in my time in NYC ghettos would have had an attitude about it, not been offended. something along the lines of:
Oh no he didn't, tell me he didn't just call me no nappy headed ho.
Look, I listened to the clip in its context and it was obvious he was reaching for something funny to say. He started with tough hoes and then landed on nappy headed hoes. Is this the language I want to hear used in society? No, but I think the self appointed word police need to go away. If he was a black man, no one would be complaining about it.
That said, if you find this language offensive, you just wait until this younger generation starts emerging. Boys and girls of all races are listening to rap and hip hop and offensive language like this, and worse, as is usual in that type of music. I imagine that they will use those familiar words like water out of a hose. Imus could have even got the idea from rap and hip hop. He likes to think he is hip and probably listens to it to stay edgy. On Sharpton's show he actually said, don't give me that jive. He likes to use cool black language and they use hos all the time. He apologized, I wouldn't have, and that should have been that, but they want his job.
I am sick of minorities getting radio show hosts fired over being offended. You have no Constitutional right not to be offended. Get over yourselves and your skin color. Do what normal people do and boycott his show and let the market place decide his fate.
