The chatter revolving around the fairness doctrine has been elevating as of late. Democratic congressmen have been piping up in ever increasing amounts, voicing support for the doctrine or a similar analog. Some of these representatives are clearly biased, one is even married to an exec at Air America, the AM failure of a decade.
Well now the issue is really heating up, this week Obama stated that he would not support a reinstatement of the doctrine, however this fell well short of what many are looking for, including Rush.
Now, Jim DeMint, the South Carolinian conservative stalwart has landed an early blow with a forced vote on The Broadcasters Freedom Act, essentially forcing legislators to pick sides.
With this line in the sand being drawn, it is hard to see how anyone could stand for the doctrine, a affront on our First Amendment rights. Whether you agree with the voices of AM radio or not, you MUST support freedom of speech and dissidence. If you don't you might as well plan to meet Goebbels in hell.
