Obama Lays Groundwork for Hushing Rush

In light of renewed interest in the Orwellian “Fairness Doctrine[1]” — aka the “Hush Rush bill” — Obama’s latest blatherings[2] are particularly ominous:

A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There’s a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year. If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it’s not surprising that would happen.

The Obamination isn’t just pandering to the illegal aliens overrunning our country, but also laying the groundwork for the sort of speech restrictions we will inevitably see with him in the White House and characters like Pelosi and Reid running the legislative branch. Of course they wouldn’t shut down talk radio because it tends to oppose them politically; they would only do it to be nice, to save the put-upon undocumented Americans from “xenophobia” and “hate crimes.”

Enjoy the First Amendment while you still can.
