THE FAIRNESS DOCTRINE WILL DESTROY THE FIRST AMENDMENT
The latest talking point for the ignorant conservative trash in this country compliments of sean hannity (on his show today). sean hannity, a man who has never done anything FOR his country.

2. Uh, the GOP is destroying the first amendment as we speak
so the straw man this talking point presents is pretty much moot, IMO.

3. Who will be prevented from speaking?
That's the answer.

The only people prevented from speaking without it are unions, leftists, atheists, gays, women, and other groups that have been under attack with no access even to tell how they feel about it.

To hell with these right wingers.

6. sean told the trash
that the fairness doctrine will SILENCE YOU. It must be so sweet to know your audience will swallow anything.

4. So Rush and Sean and Bill and Michael Savage have First Amendment rights
but the rest of us do not.

Okay. That makes sense - NOT!

9. sean says
that 80% of Americans agree with him. He has country and western stars singing patriotic songs all summer long. Is there any legitimate reason that you and me My Dear should have the right to free speech. Why, its just incomprehensible. I truly appreciate my Green Party Voter. She counterbalances my occasional dips into insanity.

10. I tend to support market regulation as
the market, e.g., talk radio, tends to be less than "free".
