Democrats want to limit free speech.

I don't think these morons get it; this is another potential over stretch for the Left, right now they are fumbling and bumbling their stimulus package, which is more or less a march towards a Stalinist tyranny. All of this stuff the left is trying to sneak into the stimulas bill is disgusting. Now left is goiong trying to sneek some version of the fairness doctrine into law.

Every day we lose more of our liberties and we are racing towards a marxist state. Funny a lot of the other dictators like to limit the free press and radio stations. Hugo Chavez is probably proud of these attempts.

Free speech should not be infringed upon, so now the left wants to squash oppostion speech. Personally, if the democrats try to shove this legislation down the American public's throats it will spend years in the courts before anything comes out of this.

WASHINGTON – Another Democratic U.S. senator has gone on record as supporting the reinstatement of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine," adding, "I feel like that's gonna happen."

Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., told radio host and WND columnist Bill Press yesterday when asked about whether it was time to bring back the so-called "Fairness Doctrine": "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."

Stabenow's husband, Tom Athans, was executive vice president of the left-leaning talk radio network Air America. He left the network in 2006, when it filed for bankruptcy, and co-founded the TalkUSA Radio Network.
