Sen. Jim DeMint to force whiny Democrats hand on Fairness Doctorine

Sen. Jim DeMint announced that he will force a vote next week on a bill that prevents the Federal Communications Commission from reinstating the Fairness Doctrine.

The South Carolina Republican’s bill, the Broadcaster Freedom Act, is cosponsored by John Thune, R-S.D., and 27 others and will be offered as an amendment to the D.C. Voting Rights bill…

Sen. DeMint stated: “I’m glad President Obama finally confirmed his opposition to the Fairness Doctrine, which attacks the right of free speech on talk radio, but many Democrats in Congress are still pushing it.

“With the support of the new administration, now is the time for Congress to take a stand against this kind of censorship. I intend to seek a vote on this amendment next week so every senator is on record: Do you support free speech or do you want to silence voices you disagree with?”

Camille Paglia (democrat) actually speaks the truth about the censorship, err Fairness Doctrine

Ever been to one of those Brazilian restaurants where they bring out plate after plate of nothing but red meat? Steaks, chops, sausages — all you can eat, until you’re glassy-eyed from the sheer red-meatiness of it all. This clip is that restaurant.

Now Bill Clinton wants the censorship, err Fairness Doctorine! Wheres Monica when we need her?

hillary-bill-clinton.jpgYet another figment of your overactive wingnut imagination. I always wondered if that Inhofe story about Hillary and Barbara Boxer kibbitzing about Fairness was true. Hmmmmm. Exit question: If Billy Jeff is so concerned about this, why didn’t he push it circa 1993? Click the image to listen.

Guess what? Another democrats cries that we need that “Fairness Doctorine”. This time its Tom Harkin or Iowa!

Debbie Stabenow may now be backing away from the Fairness Doctrine, but another progressive Senator has taken her place. Tom Harkin (D-IA) tells Bill Press that he wants the federal government to open markets for the liberal talker that Press can’t get on his own:

But on the brighter side, Jeff Sessions tells Mark Levin: “Darned right we’ll filibuster the Fairness Doctrine”. WELL DUH! You’d better!

Censorship in Chief – An Iowa State trooper investigated for forwarding an e-mails showing mug shots of people wearing Obama t-shirts!

Imagine if you will, during the last 8 years, if a state trooper, or anyone e-mailed mug shots of people wearing dubya shirts mocking George Bush and Republicans on his own time and on his own computer. Do you think the ACLU would care, or get involved in getting that person suspended for 30 days? Welcome to life in the B. Hussein Obama administration:

An Iowa State trooper who was investigated after it was shown that he forwarded an e-mail showing mug shots of people wearing Obama t-shirts has been suspended for 30 days.

Sgt. Rodney Hicok was at home and off-duty when he forwarded the e-mails, said an official with the Iowa Department of Public Safety Bureau and Professional Standards.

The e-mail made disparaging remarks about 15 people in the photos and referred to Obama as having “quite a fan base.”

Hicok was not making a racial statement, the official said, but, rather, a political statement.

In a statement, Hicok said, “I am deeply sorry for my actions … I apologize to anyone this e-mail may have offended, as well as my family, citizens in my community and Iowa taxpayers.”

Hicok ended his statement by saying he guaranteed “nothing like this will ever happen again.”

Senator Debbie Stabenow, wife of prostitute paying Thomas Athans wants the Fairness Doctorine

This morning, radio host Bill Press brought up the recent closing of liberal station Obama 1260 when speaking with Michigan Sen. Debbie Stabenow, and talked about whether there needs to be a balance to right-wing talk on the radio dial.

BILL PRESS: Yeah, I mean, look: They have a right to say that. They’ve got a right to express that. But, they should not be the only voices heard. So, is it time to bring back the Fairness Doctrine?

SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I think it’s absolutely time to pass a standard. Now, whether it’s called the Fairness Standard, whether it’s called something else — I absolutely think it’s time to be bringing accountability to the airwaves. I mean, our new president has talked rightly about accountability and transparency. You know, that we all have to step up and be responsible. And, I think in this case, there needs to be some accountability and standards put in place.

BILL PRESS: Can we count on you to push for some hearings in the United States Senate this year, to bring these owners in and hold them accountable?

SENATOR DEBBIE STABENOW (D-MI): I have already had some discussions with colleagues and, you know, I feel like that’s gonna happen. Yep

You didn’t know her husband Thomas Athans?

Back in April of 2008, police were investigating an Internet-based prostitution ring when they stopped Stabenow’s husband, Thomas Athans, whom police believed had just met a prostitute at a hotel and paid to have sex with her, according to The Detroit News. Athans admitted to paying the 20-year-old woman $150 to perform oral sex on him.

BTW, heres another fun little game

then do the same with cnn: site:http://www.cnn.com/ debbie stabenow’s husband

If it were a Repubican Senator’s husband (or Sarah Palin’s SO) don’t you think CNN would be all over it like white on rice? Eh libs? Not very balanced on CNNs part.
