CNN's Reliable Sources Sunday 10 - 11 AM

Barring a schedule change, I've been invited on CNN's Reliable Sources this Sunday for a quick face off over the KSFO kerfluffle with none other than Mike Stark, who, according to Allah represents "the perfect embodiment of their (the nutroots) ethos" ... swell.

The segment is slated to appear live sometime during the last half of the 10 - 11 AM show. Posting at Newsbusters, Noel Sheppard addressed the attack of the Liberal blogs on a few conservative radio hosts at KSFO in San Francisco.

The troubles for KSFO began in 2006 when a fifth-tier liberal blogger from San Francisco, hiding behind the pseudonym “Spocko’s Brain,” started sending the station’s advertisers complaint letters. Such correspondence included cherry-picked audio clips and mini-transcripts from previous broadcasts. One such letter, as posted by Daily Kos contributor Mike Stark on January 3, began: (see NB link)

See-Dubya weighed in while guest posting at Michelle Malkin's blog. Several blogs, Left and Right, weighed in after a New York Times piece on the issue - see here via Memeorandum.

The Dems win a small majority in Congress and suddenly the Nutroots collective is looking to shut down a first portion of conservative talk radio by labeling it "hate," meanwhile Kucinich starts talking about bringing back the Fairness Doctrine. Coincidence? Perhaps, but the fact is, today's Left knows their only hope is to shut down the opposition's political speech. Like most flawed and failing ideologies, they require ignorance to thrive.

I posted on the issue here and here. Bruce Kesler weighed in on the Fairness Doctrine here.

This is precisely why I hate the whole term "hate crime" and "hate speech". It attempts to police peoples' motives and undermines free speech; but since when did "liberals" give a crap about free speech? What Mike Stark is too stupid to realize is that this will bite him in the ass someday. The whole Dummocratic Underground and DailyKos could be shut down on the basis of hate speech. I look at it this way - these fascists are basically admitting that they cannot compete with or argue with people who disagree with their close-minded very limited viewpoint, so their simple little minds need to shut down the discussion completely. If they had the intellect and truly believed they were as smart as they proclaim all of the time, they would welcome debate like the conservatives do. And the real coincidence is that this comes at a time when scAir America has completely failed - despite the special interest money, despite the stealing from charity, (the Gloria Wise Boys and Girls Club) despite all of the free publicity, despite everything they've tried. Views that dissent from theirs threaten them, just like they threatened Hitler and Stalin. Make no mistake: there's a reason they look up to people like Fidel Castro - their twisted fantasy is to use vague legal terms like "hate speech" to put the people they don't like in work camps or shut them down completely. Mike Stark's parents should have taught him that once in a while you're going to get your tender feelings hurt, (especially if you look like him for Chrissakes). It's called living in the real world a-hole. Tighten up and deal with it.
