Evidently, as reported on the FoxNews website, the Wicked Witch of the East (Hillary) has been conspiring with the Wicked Witch of the West (Boxer) for a legislative fix to rein in conservative talk radio!!!
FoxNews report
Interview with Senator Inhofe
If this doesn't scare the pants off you, I don't know what will.

"Congress shall make no law...abridging the freedom of speech..."
Before they quit teaching real history in the schools, I was told that this was part of the 1st amendment. If Clinton/Boxer are successful, the government would be violating this part of the Constitution (which is true censorship).
oops. Sorry, I forgot that as a so called fundamental Christian, I am not entitled to voice my opinion here and most certainly can not be allowed to work to defeat this proposal.
Quash all speach, unless it agrees with the their agenda. (I shudder of the thought as that woman as our president).

In the interest of 'Faiir and Balanced', the following has been posted to the FoxNews site:
Sens. Hillary Clinton, Barbara Boxer Dispute Conversation About Reining in Conservative Talk RadioSo, it's literally a 'he-said / she-said' deal...make up your own mind.
Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barbara Boxer say Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe "needs to have his hearing checked" if he thinks he heard them talking about a "legislative fix" to curb conservative talk radio.
Inhofe, a Republican, said Thursday on John Ziegler's evening radio show on KFI in L.A. that he overheard Clinton, D-N.Y., and Boxer, D-Calif., saying they want legislation to control conservative radio talk shows.

"I was going over to vote the other day and I was walking with two very liberal gals that didn’t pay any attention to me being with them. They were outraged by something you said or Rush Limbaugh or somebody said that upset them," Inhofe told Ziegler. "They said, ‘we have got to do something about this, these are nothing but far-right wing extremists. We’ve got to have a balance, there’s got to be a legislative fix to this.’"
He added: "As we got off the elevator, I said, ‘you gals don’t understand. This is market-driven and there’s no market for your liberal trite.’"
When asked what female senators Inhofe was referencing, the Oklahoma lawmaker said one was running for president, and the talk-shot host guessed Boxer's name.
But Boxer spokeswoman Natalie Ravitz told FOXNews.com that conversation "never happened."
"Senator Boxer told me that either her friend Senator Inhofe needs new glasses or he needs to have his hearing checked, because that conversation never happened," Ravitz said in an e-mail.
"Jim Inhofe is wrong," added Clinton spokesman Philippe Reines. "This supposed conversation never happened, not in his presence or anywhere else."
(...personally, I think she said it, and I think Bill inhaled, but hey....that's just me...)

Arrgh!! I just saw a "Help elect Obama" ad in our advertisements section on the left.
Mods - I have no issue with this at all, I'm not really complaining. It just was a funny coincidence.
Lou,
kudos for the "fair and balanced " reporting. (Do we need to TM the fair and balance phrase to avoid legal issues?????)
It referred to the FoxNews report, and their reporting of the story...Quote:

You gals are getting your knickers in a twist about nothing. He said they just wanted to "influence" Talk Radio. You know the deal, you can have free speech as long as you only talk about the things they want.
Kinda like the Henry Ford "any color car you like as long as it's black".
Seriously though, if they did say it, it was probably nothing. Just a little bit of dick-waving by Hillary and Boxer.
(Can I say dick-waving on here?):shrug:

To my mind, what lends credence to this is that it conforms to HRC's mindset...a legislative fix (ie more laws) to everything.
I'm sure that 'talk-radio' is safe, but only because of that 'stupid Bill of Rights' thing that keeps Hillary from doing all of the really cool things that she would like!Quote:
