If anyone at the FCC obeys Obama on this (see below) then they too should be targets for the lynch mob. This is absolutely insane never mind un-Constitutional. If anything the FCC should be monitoring Obama and his cronies for hate speech. Didn't anyone ever listen to Van Jones? William Ayres? Hillary Clinton? Bill Clinton? Nancy Pelosi? Ted Kennedy? John Murtha? Harry Reid? Jesse Jackson? Al Sharpton? Also, (Ref: "the Commission deliberates how the public interest will be served in the digital age...") the public interest will be served by ridding this rogue government of all the above (I know a couple have already departed and that was good) and putting them away behind bars.
As for the lynch mob I may not agree but I'd be the first one to chip in and buy the rope! Has this country ever seen such a bunch of worthless hoodlums in charge? No! and hell no! But you know what? The complacency of the American people is getting so bad that even the sound of, "We'll get 'em out in November!" sounds sick. I've warned you people before and I can warn you till I'm blue in the face, if you don't get off your duff and do something soon you can kiss your country good-bye...Obama has to be thrown out of office before his term is up...I kid you not!!! If you want to tar and feather the traitorous SOB I could care less just as long as he is out of here! I don't care where the scum bag was born, HE IS NOT AN AMERICAN!...neither are his crony New World Order scum...
I've said this before and I'll say it again. This Obama guy is leading us into war. I've also warned about anarchy and violence. That warning was made some time ago and my prediction was that it would occur in late 2010. The closer we get to that time frame the more I wanted to move the date further out but the closer we do get the more I am convinced that it will happen sooner than any of us think. And if you don't think that stories like the one that follows is not a factor in any future violence then you don't have a brain in your head...wake the hell up America! ~ Norman E. Hooben

Liberal Groups Want FCC to Police Talk Radio, Cable News

A coalition of more than 30 mostly liberal organizations has sent a letter to the Federal Communications Commission urging the agency to monitor “hate speech” on talk radio and cable news networks.
The groups assert in the letter that “hate, extremism and misinformation have been on the rise . . . as the media has focused on Arizona’s passage of one of the harshest pieces of anti-Latino legislation in this country’s history.”
The organizations include the Center for Media Justice, the Rainbow Push Coalition, the League of United Latin American Citizens, the National Association of Latino Independent Producers, and Common Cause.
“As traditional media have become less diverse and less competitive, they have also grown less responsible and less responsive to the communities that they are supposed to serve,” the letter states.
“In this same atmosphere hate speech thrives, as hate has developed as a profit-model for syndicated radio and cable television programs masquerading as ‘news.’”
The coalition did not mention any specific media outlets.
The groups also argue that the Internet has made it more difficult for the public to separate “the facts from bigotry masquerading as news,” The Hill newspaper reports.
The Internet “gives the illusion that news sources have increased, but in fact there are fewer journalists employed now than ever before,” according to the coalition.
“Moreover, on the Internet, speakers can hide in the cloak of anonymity, emboldened to say things that they may not say in the public eye.
“For these reasons, as the Commission deliberates how the public interest will be served in the digital age, it should consider the extent of hate speech in media, and its effects.”
