White House Warns Rush: Nazi Talk Puts You On "Thin Ice" (Obama, free speech)

[dukester.2]

The White House struck back hard on Friday against conservative pundits and
town hall protesters who have compared the President to Hitler and his policies to Nazism,
saying that the critics are "on thin ice" and should "take that temperature down a bit."

Asked about the breakout of boisterous and occasionally violent protests at Democratic
town hall events throughout the country, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs
declared that the demonstrators were showing less civility and manners than his six-year-old daughter.

I would go even further than that and remind all the stations that carry his garbage and that of Beck, Hannity and Savage that they are LICENSED to serve the public and that trash is NOT serving the public interest and that it is going to be MY FCC that decides if you get a renewal or not. That is what I would tell ALL the AM stations that carry non stop hate mongers.

There is the difference between speaking out and inciting. The lines have seemed to blur.

Good. We need to tone down the airwaves.

I never believed I would live to see the day that the ordinary guy on the street was calling for censorship and is asking for our First Amendment Rights to be trashed b/c he didn't agree with someone else's opinion.

I am astounded.

You value your Constitutional rights so little that you would censor free speech?

In other words, you want to resort to the government using nazi-like fascist methods to silence those whose politics you disagree with. Thank you for proving the point.

now that is a new level in name calling. calling AA president a white supremist.

Believe it. It's the equivalent of "FIRE". And when people don't self censor someone will do it for them. We are out of control and those who's eye is on the bigger picture are right to act. I will NOT support the "freedom" to destroy ourselves.

I agree, this *free speech* thing is getting out of hand. Lord knows we can't have people just speaking their opinions out so freely in this country. Where do they think they are? America or something?
