Author Topic: New FCC rules - first Amendment down the toilet... (Read 2028 times)

Well well well, good christians will make sure you don't listen to that devil bastard Howard Stern... new FCC rules come down to nothing more then censorship...

When words like "fart" become obscene, and one of the funnies skit-songs ever written by Monty Python "Sit on my face and tell me that you love me" is banned, we're not far from full blown censorship...

What's next ? Well, Bible thumping nuts lead by their illiterate leader will most likely "bring the solution to an end" (quote from Mr. Bush ) and make sure that we all are good and decent christian sheep that we should be.....

I can't wait for Ashcroft prosecuting Stern... fun fun fun all the way to the supreme court..

Oh, for the record
F A R T

Come and get me decency police !!!

I was just surfing in FCC's site and one question came in my mind:
Can you say Dick in public or do you have to call it Richard?

It's folks like Stern that purposely try to find ways to abuse the 1st amendment rights to the point where they get restricted, if anything, you should be pissed at Stern for having to carry things a bit too far in order to be funny.

Another issue that if you are normal and follow just half the rules, it doesn't apply to you. I'm in that boat.

FCC is dictating what can be said on a federally licensed radio station.. not in your homes.

When I look at the rules imposed in my workplace to avoid any chance of harassment lawsuites, these regulations seem tame.

Ah so you're not allowed to use the media to express yourself freely?

I.e the media does not fall under right of free speech?

That's NICE. Have the govt control the media

This is scary.

Worth noting is that many freedom crying republicans are awfully silent when it comes to restricting manifestations of freedom they disagree with.

So what you're saying is that he should be banned because YOU don't like him , totally disregarding MILLIONS who make a FREE CHOICE to listen to his BS ?

If his stuff is so horrible and pathetic, nobody would listen to it, but people do, and you have no right to impare that choice.

Come on, what happend to "my boy Bush will make goverment smaller and his government won't interfere in lives of the people" ?

Santa, you know not of Howard Stern and his many run-in's with the Feds?

FCC Sucks.

And please Bart don't bring religion into this. You are blaming this on Christians when I know many of them who disagree with this kind of idiocy. It has nothing to do with faith. When you make stupid statements like that, you drive away people who would support your point if you made a rational argument instead of a knee-jerk slam on people who have different beliefs than you.

Don't think you can escape these idiots just by electing a Democrat.

StSanta I keep trying to post about <censored> but every time I do the god-<censored> mother-<censored> cuts me off.

I wish the <censored> I could tell you what I think of the <censored> because they are really starting to <censored> me off.

FD-ski, You said I said he should be banned, where did I say that?

I said he purposely pushes the FCC to the brink. Banned? Hardly. Follow the rules that everyone else abides by? Definately.
