House Democrat Leadership: Conservatives Should “Uncomfortable” About What They Say On The Air
Because the Democrats are coming for them.
Rep. Henry Waxman has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows, and to call in Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin to discuss the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”
“Limbaugh isn’t the only one who needs to be made uncomfortable about what he says on the radio,” says a House leadership source. “We don’t have as big a megaphone as these guys, but this all political, and we’ll do what we can to gain the advantage. If we can take them off their game for a while, it will help our folks out there on the campaign trail.”
I’m a little skeptical of the quotes. These aren’t attributed to anyone by name, and this is coming from a partisan source, but on the flip side this sort of thing isn’t exactly out of character for the Dems either given their push on the Fairness Doctrine.
Regardless, there’s no doubt in my mind that Demcorats would love to shut Limbaugh, etc. up and are more than willing to use the coercive power of government to do it.
