Will you support or oppose Radio Hate Speech on July 4th?

Question

Members of the Far Reich are holding protests against Congress on July 4th so they can continue hate speech on the public airwaves.

They are afraid that people are working to revive the old Fairness Doctrine law that requires issues to be honest, equitable, and balanced.

They forgot that Citizens own the public airwaves and that corporations only borrow them.

Should corporations try to serve the public, or entertain them with hate speech?

Answer 1

Hmm... You want to shut down free speech on the air? Sounds like you are the one in jackboots. Fascists are socialists, so Hitler's ideology is left, not right.

Spend July 4th with a history book.

Answer 2

Certainly Corporations should serve the public and mostly the system of capitalism works well doing just that as long as there are no Monopolies.  No one wanted to listen to that Air America c**p and it Died! YEAH!!!!

Answer 3

I see, the left only wants free speak when it agrees with them. They would like to wipe out Fox News and LImbaugh or any other opposing view points they encounter. We allow you to say the drivel you come up with, please allow us the courtesy of responding.

Answer 4

Talk radio is virtually the only media that isn't far left. So it acts as a balance and therefore needs to continue

Answer 5

There's no such thing as "hate speech".....it's labeled by those who disagree with you.....it's actually  "freedom of speech"

Answer 6

There is no such thing as 'hate speech' what there is is speech that you do not like and want to censor.  It is a Politically Correct--Communism Lite-- way to manipulate and control thoughts by controlling the terms of the discussion, and I will have none of it.

Answer 7

Support if I get radio.

Answer 8

What is hate speech? and who deems it as such???

As Americans we have a right to express ourselves but it should be done in a respectful manner. Take for instance Rev Wright and Father Pfluger...a total lack of respect.

Answer 9

First Amendment Amigo! Take that away and nothing is sacred. Just cuz you disagree don't make it hate speech. Besides, who determines what is and is not "hate speech." Said person would be the dictator of America. We can't let any desire to stifle dissent become legislation. If it does, I'm loading up the guns and taking action. I love my country the way it is, First Amendment and all baby!

Answer 10

I wasn't aware that there even was such a thing as "Radio Hate Speech". Probably a term thought up by the same marketing firm as "semi-automatic assault weapons".

I don't support quashing any ideas currently being promulgated on the airwaves whether they be from "EIB" (lol) or NPR. The vast majority of us are smart enough to reject the nonsense we find there.

Answer 11

Liberals our allowed under our market system here to have liberal talkshow hosts, there is just no demand for them. I think the fairness doctrine violates First amendment rights of freedom of speech. But if it is passed I hope that 3rd parties will use the arguments that the liberals are using to get equal access to their ideas as well.

There was a strictly liberal AM talk network, it failed.
