You can balance the Libertarians with Republican Fascists and Democratic Socialists, virtually anybody that is a "Statist", which is the majority of the people and politicians. Neil Boortz is not really a "libertarian" and is more of a conservative libertarian.

I say that because he is for the Fair Tax idea which doesn’t address the validity of state taxation in the first place. He also doesn’t criticize the Federal Reserve as far as I know (Socialist Monetary Policy). The big no no is his strong support of the "War on Terror".

The whole idea of the Fairness Doctrine is a scam anyway. It inevitably will lead to restriction of free speech. Who ever has power will have the power to determine the so called "fairness". It reeks of socialism and fascism at the same time.

Right now the Dems have the power. If the Republicans regain power, believe me under this Fairness doctrine, they will target Hollywood, newspapers and TV news and shows that have a liberal bias.

Good question. It seems to me that the Liberals who are pushing the "fairness" doctrine only want it to affect talk shows they disagree with, so as long as they don;'t disagree, I think Neal Bortz is safe. (I listen to him too).

The "Black community" (such as it is) is traditionally socially conservative and fiscally liberal. There must be a representative host out there somewhere.

easy: Libertarians just need to invite well known Fascists to the show. Perfect balance

Basically you show will get axed. This "Fairness Doctrine" is an abomination to freedom of speech and freedom of press.

That is a great question. Of coarse their is nothing fair about it. I have signed this very important petition to save Freedom of Speech and so should you. http://www.mrcaction.org/517/petition.asp?PID=19642267&NID=1

"I know that the Fairness Doctrine is supposed to force stations to air opposing views."

You are completely and utterly wrong.

The fairness doctrine is the liberals idea of shutting down free speech.

Libertarians would win, of course...because it's their show.

If it doesn’t fit the far left agenda, it will be censored. This will be tried over and over and over, but the people will not stand for it.
