Good Morning!
After listening to Senators Reid and Harkin condemning Rush Limbaugh, it gave me pause to wonder..........
Is it the governments job to take a persons opinion, pick it apart and condemn it?
Is free speech in this another freedom in Jeopardy?

This is absolutely frightening. The full power and prestige of the United States Senate being brought to bear on a single American private citizen? All the man did is voice his opinion. He said nothing obscene, noting treasonous. I listened to that exact show and I understood exactly what he was talking about.
To claim Rush Limbaugh, a man who is on record as supporting the military on miles of audio tape and in several published books and monthly newsletters. A man who has traveled to the war zone to see for himself what progress is being made. A man who championed the rights of the troops serving overseas to have their votes counted when the democrats tried to invalidate them because they did not have a post mark (through no fault of the personnel who properly posted them).
There is only one word for such abuse of power by the Senate. FASCISM. They are now going after anyone who dares speak out against the new Female Fuhrer.
Those in the Senate who did this dishonor the institution.

No it's not in jeopardy because of what Senator Reid and and Harkin said. After all, the first amendment protects them too.
Senator CLinton's "Fairness Doctrine", now that's an assault on the First AMendment.

Its alive and well for the mean time....I'd like to know...Since when do senators go after a private citizen on the house floor and shred them in a public forum? Especially Harkin, the "PHONY WARRIOR" senator? This guys got a fuzzy set to stand up against anyone! Ive yet to hear 1 bad word against the anti war people who started this mess with the "PHONY SOLDIER".

Yes. The essential reasoning is that the liberals are very intolerant to the opposing viewpoints. Look at Reid and Harkin, they just want to destroy conservative dissent.
There is their allies Media Matters. The person runs Media Matters; he wrote his own lies for the conservative viewpoint in the early 90's. This man word can't be trusted.

Many states have used the 10th exchange these days. Montana and a couple of different states surpassed regulations that tell the feds they won't adjust to 2d exchange Federal regulation. California with weed. I forgot which state it became, yet one in each of them threatened to arrest DEA brokers if the states soventry wasn't respected. keep in mind the genuine identity ACT. It became squashed because of the fact states refused to enforce it. comparable ingredient will take place with this unconstitutional well being care bill. Texas is speaking approximately seceding altogether. The 10th exchange is making a come back. some Governors like in my state of CT are Federal government bootlickers. some states have genuine management this is keen to stand up for their voters rights.

The libs are just trying to stretch for equal condemnation. MoveOn.com got a nice deal on a full page ad denouncing Gen "Betray us" which was condemned, and rightly so. Libs are looking for a give one get one situation, which is why so many of them chant "Impeach Bush". They don't want it because it is deserved, come on, when was that ever Democratic criterion.

According to liberals you are free to say that homosexuals are the foundation of the family and that borders and guns and the constitution are archaic and that Bush is a big dummy doo doo head. But if you divert from this then they will all switch into "pc" mode and descend on you like a pack of ravenous wolves and try to destroy you.
So is it free speech when they can tread on whomever they like but they expect the rest of us peons to tip toe around them?

The fascist left has no interest in free speech. They have demonstrated this with their desire to reserect the fairness doctrine in a fashion that would only apply to talk radio, not the print press, not the television air waves, but only to a segment of the media they have deemed hostile to their agenda.

Free speech is alive and well. Just because someone is a senator there is no reason why they shouldn't be allowed to voice their opinion about Rush or anything else.

Under a liberal regime all your rights are in jeopardy. Not just the first amendment.
