It appears that Senators Feinstein and Clinton are desirous of reigning in talk radio with a "legislative fix" - how fun. Folks say things you don't like, get paid to say them, and even start a political movement that causes you concern - so you *make a law to stop and/or punish them*.
Again, what fun. Does that mean that the next time a GOP/Libertarian coalition takes power that they get to bar promotion of Unions in public places, ban comment from those they dissent with, pull the broadcast licenses of liberal broadcasters, and run bi-monthly income tax audits of the Brady Center?
It's such *jolly* fun to contemplate the sort of tit-for-tat possibilities this opens up - the years of litigation, the heightened bitterness and division between differing political viewpoints, the opportunities for demagogues of all ilks to spread their bile upon the the land - and oh, what a boon, to the "true believers" who will now have *demonstrable* evidence of conspiracies against their sundry pet causes.
Sell a gun. Donate the money to whoever is running against these divisive turkeys. Or volunteer some time to run'm out of office....
