ORIGINAL: DaddySatyr No, my exception to this is that once again, it's a matter of people "shouting down" a person/position with whom they don't agree. I said it, on another thread and I'll say it here: These types of people have been waiting a long time for this and Rush made it very easy for them but that doesn't mean that the government should step in or we have a very real 1st amendment issue. Once the government comes to play, it's very much about censorship. Once they enter the fray, it's very much a matter of denying someone "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" (the ability to make a living in their chosen, legal profession) without due process. That was my point; that once the FCC/government is involved, we have a 1st amendment conflict. Peace and comfort, Michael Michael, I agree with you about government and censorship. As for shouting down, I hear you, but as Rush is all about shouting down, not discourse, I have no sympathy. He set the rules, he's reaping the results, nothing to see here. The FCC issue--again, the FCC is ENTIRELY about censorship, and has been since conservatives got a hold of it to force their values on listeners through the government. It's its main purpose these days, beyond assigning bandwidth frequencies. If only now this is an issue....where ya all been?
