Ban Anti-War Protests

If Bush would have tried to pass a law forcing private citizens protesting the war to hold up an equal number of pro-war signs as anti-war signs, thus negating their impact, on the logic that they are protesting on public property and are one-sided, would this make Bush a speech-trampling tyrant?

Liberals are gearing upto do exactly that to conservative talk radio pundits, and only conservative talk radio pundits, while the actual news media, which is demonstrably overwhelmingly biased for Democrats, is left completely alone. It's called the "Fairness" Doctrine.

This scam, perpetrated by the same people who misapply the 1st Amendment to defend flag-burning, porn, and NAMBLA's Rape and Escape manual, will be an even greater assault on the Constitution than the pork-payoffs and socialist power grabs railroaded through Congress by Obama under the incredibly sleazy guise of "stimulus."

So, as stated above, the question is, would it have been an illegal assault on the Constitution for Bush to have imposed a "Fairness" Doctrine on private citizens protesting the war?

@Fatal Freedoms,
Broadcasters HATE the Fairness Doctrine and rightfully so! It's no longer in effect for a reason...too much red tape. If the FD is ever reinstated,it will mean the END of ALL Talk Radio. Why?...it's not just the red tape...the hassle involved would make Music a more profitable venture. Many stations are now automated and they wont have to pay Rush on the right or Schultz on the left a penny! I've owned a station and music would be my new format if I had to go by the FD again..:frown:

The problem with this, of course, is that you can never judge Democrats by what they say. Unlike Republicns, they have to hide what they stand for to get elected-hence Obama having to misrepresent his position on gun ownership, NAFTA, the Cuban embargo,3 a divided Jerusalem, race, Iran, immunity for telecommunications companies, Iraq, exploring for American energy supplies, lobbyists, corruption, partisanship, and on, and on, and on.

Obama did announce yesterday, after another surge of furious email campaigns, phone calls, and petitions, that he would finally manage not to reverse positions on an issue.

Thank God for small wonders. :thumbup:

So instead of judging what they want by what they say you would rather make bald speculation? And what evidence have you, to support this rather spacious speculation? You don't have to answer that last question it was rhetorical, I already know the answer.

To accuse something of purposefully lying is a claim, and thus does put the burden of proof on you. A burden, mind you, that I am quite aware you would be unable to lift especially if all you have is blind speculation. Your "gut feeling" is not evidence. Don't waste my time with this mockery of real journalism.

By their voting records and past actions...which demonstrates that Obama has zero tolerance for dissent against him, hence him blacklisting every news station that questioned him during the campaign, threatening broadcasting licenses, and railroading opponents off the ballot in Illinois over extremely petty technicalities.

Like most liberals, this guy is the enemy of free speech and the Constitution. The only reason most people haven't figured it out yet is that he, like other liberals, disorients things by pretending to be some kind of champion of the Constitution he's at war with.

You're "gut feeling" doesn't constitute evidence.
