Puff tipped his hand that destroy talk radio is democrats job one. Here's a plausible prediction about how the democrats will try to use the courts to do it: Here’s what the Democrats will do. The CFRI has a provision in it that outlaws the use of soft money to run radio and television ads for any particular candidate or political party during the last 60 days leading up to Election Day. The Democrats will claim that the Rush Limbaugh Show, and other shows like his, are nothing less than paid political advertisements for the Republican Party or for a specific Republican candidate or issue, paid for by the businesses and corporations who advertise on these shows. The Democrats will ask the courts to rule that these evil talk show hosts are subject to the terms of the CFRI and that the hosts should not be permitted to express their opinions or preferences for or against any particular candidates or parties in the last two months before we head to the polls. Remember, Democrats love government. Democrats believe that America is great because of government. Democrats will be all-to-willing to use that government to quiet their radio critics in the crucial days leading to the next election. Free speech? Don’t give them that free speech nonsense. They’ll throw “fairness” right back in your face, and to a Democrat is just isn’t fair that so many people seem to be interested in what conservatives and libertarians have to say, and so few are interested in listening to leftist blathering. Boy .. do I have one huge “I told you so” coming in about 14 months. boortz.com Course we have nothing to fear do we. SCOTUS will throw CFRI into the waste basket. Won't they?
