FCC-Church Conspiracy to Silence Talk Radio and Fox?
From the article:
Then came the interesting part, or, if you will, the part that sent a chill through my radio. Reverend Guess, on behalf of my own denomination -- without so much as a by-your-leave to the rank-and-file 1.2 million members -- made plain, in the name of the United Church of Christ that:This is an article describing how individuals in government are using the United Church of Christ (the same denomination as Jeremiah Wright's church) to start a petition against those who commit "media violence". Here is one of the instances of "media violence" quoted on the petition...
"As a participant, you will be asked to sign a petition to the Federal Communications Commission asking that it open a notice of inquiry into hate speech in the media. We will also urge the National Telecommunications and Information Agency to update its 1993 report, The Role of Telecommunications in Hate Crimes."
Read the key phrases again. "Open a notice of inquiry into hate speech in the media." Meaning, church members are being asked to sign on to an already-in-progress petition to the FCC that is opening the door to legal sanctions from the federal government on "hate speech in the media."
Targets?
"Together, we can express our concern about the frequency and tone of anti-immigrant remarks made by several TV and radio commentators, such as Rush Limbaugh, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage and Lou Dobbs."
Hate speech in the media is a growing problem that must be examined before it can be solved.
Rush Limbaugh, claims this formal petition from American churches to the FCC, is responsible for beating up Mexican men.
The reason Rush is formally singled out in the petition itself as the only talk radio host so-named (and that without the tiniest bit of context) is that he allegedly made a remark on "March 27, 2006" in which he "called Mexican immigrants, regardless of legal status, 'a renegade, potential crime element that is unwilling to work.'" Two Mexican men, says the petition, were then robbed and beaten up.
Liberals see this opportunity with the bully pulpit to squash as much dissent as possible - by any means necessary, even through the vehicle of the church.
