But congress wanted the names of people who received bonuses to be made public for what reason? And the tours past their homes did what?

But yes you are right it is not that bad yet, O just said people should not listen to Rush - that is very presidential and clearly supports his free speech rights.

And the whole purpose of the fairness doctrine is to silence opposition.

Here is a story:

Obama not only aired a response ad to the spot linking him to William Ayers, but he sought to block stations the commercial by warning station managers and asking the Justice Department to intervene. The campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that continue to air the anti-Obama commercial.

The fact of the matter is that the Obama Silencing Machine is well tuned and active. So it is not as bad as the one Chavez uses? Does that justify it?

When a gov official uses any sort of pressure to silence free speech we should be very worried.
