The Daily Caller is exposing more of the Lefty news media plotting from the Journolist archive. The latest revelation is chilling. The list members in all seriousness talked among themselves about how the feds could shut down a rival news organization, namely Fox News:
“I am genuinely scared” of Fox, wrote Guardian columnist Daniel Davies, because it “shows you that a genuinely shameless and unethical media organisation *cannot* be controlled by any form of peer pressure or self-regulation, and nor can it be successfully cold-shouldered or ostracised. In order to have even a semblance of control, you need a tough legal framework.” . . .
Jonathan Zasloff, a law professor at UCLA, suggested that the federal government simply yank Fox off the air. “I hate to open this can of worms,” he wrote, “but is there any reason why the FCC couldn’t simply pull their broadcasting permit once it expires?”
It seems among some journalists, Freedom of the Press means Freedom of the Left-of-center Press. Freedom of speech is for them, not for those evil conservatives.
And given their invective against conservatives . . .
“You know, at the risk of violating Godwin’s law, is anyone starting to see parallels here between the teabaggers and their tactics and the rise of the Brownshirts?” asked Bloomberg’s Ryan Donmoyer. “Esp. Now that it’s getting violent? Reminds me of the Beer Hall fracases of the 1920s.”
Richard Yeselson, a researcher for an organized labor group who also writes for liberal magazines, agreed. “They want a deficit driven militarist/heterosexist/herrenvolk state,” Yeselson wrote. “This is core of the Bush/Cheney base transmorgrified into an even more explicitly racialized/anti-cosmopolitan constituency. Why? Um, because the president is a black guy named Barack Hussein Obama. But it’s all the same old nuts in the same old bins with some new labels: the gun nuts, the anti tax nuts, the religious nuts, the homophobes, the anti-feminists, the anti-abortion lunatics, the racist/confederate crackpots, the anti-immigration whackos (who feel Bush betrayed them) the pathological government haters (which subsumes some of the othercategories, like the gun nuts and the anti-tax nuts).”
. . . it would not surprise me if some of them would like to have conservatives and libertarians silenced.
Like I said, chilling stuff.
Yeah, like all of that violence from the Tea Party people when the SEIU thugs come in an start beating them up and the Tea Party folks try to restrain the SEIU folks from commiting assualt and battery. It's them ignorant, red neck, rascist Tea Party folks fault that the SEIU thugs have to beat them up to try to silence them from expressing their views.
