Al Sharpton: Time For FCC To Censor Limbaugh's Speech
Rev. Al Sharpton actually calling for the FCC to take action against stations that carry the Rush Limbaugh program, accusing Rush of having a show with a “race or gender bias format.” Laughably, at the same time, Sharpton says no one wants to block “free speech,” but wants Limbaugh to be shut down on the public airwaves. Specifically, he advocates the FCC pulling the licenses of stations that carry Limbaugh’s program. He believes the FCC should decide what to “permit” on air.
Here’s the transcript:
And part of what I think the FCC needs to do is give the guidelines of what is excusable and what is not. What is permit-able or permitted I should say and what is not because clearly you’re not trying to block free speech.
But, I think that for people to engage in programming shows that will use racial or gender bias as their format, we’ve got a right to say there are standards that the FCC can say that you cannot continue to have licenses to do that. You got to remember that those stations that Rush Limbaugh is on and others are regulated by FCC, granted by FCC. They go back to them to get wavers. They go back to them to get consolidation.
They have the right to set standards that does not impair your right to speak what you believe, but it does say that you are not going to be able to do that to offend groups of Americans based on their race their gender, their sexual status, none of that.

Yesterday Rush was calling on the IRS to investigate Shaprton and his organization for its questionable use of its tax exempt status. It seems the IRS has been looking into them and they owe back payroll taxes on employees.

Al Sharpton calling anyone else a racist is like Nancy Pelosi calling anyone else ugly.

It seems tho Sharpton needs to remember how he is spuing racists remarks against white people. He gets on his pulpit and spues hatred against the white people all the time. He is so biased and should be investigated by the FCC himself!.
If it isn't for people, like Rush, we would not have a voice, nor know what is going on in the Dems's world of liberalism and socialism.
Go Rush, and get the work done.
Have you heard Ed Shultz & K. Oberman...now there's is hatred.

I honor his right to free speach yet Sharpton (like Obama) seem to want erosion of this right.
