Turner assumes that all conservative talk show hosts "were fond" of
addressing Obama as "Hussein," his middle name. Yet, Turner offers no
list of those that did.

Well, here's one, Warner:

Barack Hussein Obama did not win because of the color of his skin.

OH, wait!  That's not a talk show host; it's Time Magazine's  Nancy Gibb, gushing over him!

I guess now that he's been elected, it's OK to use all three names. 

If right-wingers were trying to frighten us with the name, are lefties now shoving it in our faces?  

Buffalo and Philly have a lot in common with most if not all Northeast cities--FASCIST LEFTIST S***HOLES!  Other than Buffalo's ABC station WKBW-TV returning to their Eyewitness News roots, THERE AIN'T THAT MUCH TO SEE IN BUFFALO!  Russert doesn't count either.

I guess this commentator is a shill for the UNfairness Doctrine, supported by a fascist communist New York rep and of course Sucky Chucky Schumer. 

For the record, I am NOT RECOGNIZING BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ODINGA AS
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!  I would like to become part of a
secession front!

The basic service that a broadcast licensee owes a community is truth. As the election neared, that commodity was in short supply.

Uh, if this was true for radio, would it not apply to broadcast television?  That commodity was not only in short supply, it did't exist!

Cannot survue where the press is free and actually supports the notion of reporting on and talking about the news. No junta can, not even Obamunism.

I'll admit I've been wanting to Tie myself to something in protest for awhile....I think the attempt to silence Free Speech through the UN-Fairness Doctrine, might just be the trigger.

Turner speaks for most modern "progressives" these days. Free speech is just great when you denigrate the country, desecrate the flag, trash religion and the faithful, espouse the homosexual agenda in public schools, disrupt speeches by conservatives on college campuses, and hang the vice presidential candidate in effigy. Just don't attempt to criticize or espouse a differing of opinion ---  or else the "progressives"  will attempt to eliminate your freedom of speech.

Liberal/Left freedom of speech:  vital; necessary

Conservative/Right freedom of speech:  invalid; prohibited

Dear sir:

It is unfortunate that you in the MSM, who once billed yourselves as the "watchdog of the people" have, over the last four decades, so turned your back on your original mission of just reporting the news that alternative sources of information are even necessary. Had you "journalists" just done your jobs, instead of becoming shills for the Democrat Party, talk radio, along with the other alternative media now gaining prominence, would not even be necessary.

The main reason the MSM is on its way out (and that trend will continue, Fairness Doctrine or not) is because the American people have slowly come to the realization that they have not been getting the whole story, and what they were getting was being slanted in a particular direction. In recent years they have further come to realize that not only is the information they are receiving being delivered with a built-in bias, but in more than a few cases, they are just flat-out being lied to.

Talk radio is far from perfect, but neither is the MSM. You cry and moan over certain statements made by some of the radio hosts, yet you are conspicuously silent when members of the MSM imply that George W. Bush is a dictator. You complain that Barrack Obama is being compared to Adolf Hitler, even in the face of his campaign employing Chicago-style intimidation tactics to prevent his detractors from airing commercials that point out some decidedly uncomfortable facts about the Democrat candidate.

I wonder, had this been the McCain campaign engaging in this behavior, would you media "watchdogs" have given it the same pass you gave the Obama campaign?

Somehow I seriously doubt it.

Given the "fetid puddle of falsehoods" and blatant omissions that appear in the various outlets of the Main Stream Media (MSM) on what is seemingly becoming an hourly basis, and that have been more than adequately documented here, among other places, I wonder if you would go along with the idea of having a government agent oversee the writings of the reporters and editorial writers (as if there were any difference between the two anymore) in your place of employment?

I further wonder if you would go along with the idea of having government agents present when Katie Couric, Brian Williams, or any other newsreader goes on the air and presents their decidedly biased "news" reports.

Sounds unconscionable, doesn't it? Not exactly.

You see, Mr. Turner, what you are advocating for talk radio could easily be turned around and used against the MSM someday down the road. In fact, I have already written my congressman and both of my state senators to the effect that, if the Democrats and their allies in the liberal-dominated MSM continue to insist upon silencing dissent, and lets face it, that is really what you and your colleagues are after here, then the "Fairness Doctrine" should be expanded to cover both the print and broadcast media as well.

I doubt very seriously, now that the MSM cat is out of the bag, that the millions of Americans who have become fans of the talk radio medium, are going to just stand idly by and allow the left to use the police powers of government to silence the one medium they have come to rely on for the  information that the MSM refuses to deliver to them.

You may not agree with what Neal Boortz, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh and others have to say, but keep in mind there are at least 55 million Americans who disagree with you and the rest of the MSM. Probably far more, given some of the polls I saw concerning media bias during this long campaign

If you are truly an advocate for free speech and the free exchange of ideas, how can you advocate government involving itself in any of those processes?

Be careful what you wish for, Mr. Turner, because you just might get it.

Did this country just elect Obama/Biden, or was it Soros/Ayers?

 little square black mustache and you're a dead ringer.

Anyone who has ever heard Santayana's famous quote about History repeating itself is condemned to repeat it.

My opinion of those who want to silence talk radio with b@st@rdizing the Constitution and stepping on it is that they are weak-minded fools. They cannot win on the debate on their own ideas so they have to resort to troglodite tactics in order to shut people up.

The sad thing is that when you have a firm and angry opposition, that doesn't go your way. There will be other ways to get the information.
