Fairness Doctrine? Meh.
We don't need it.
Putting a muzzle on Limbaugh and Hannity would be the worst thing that we could ever ask for. The bloviators are now our best friends.
Here's why...........
The real reason why Barack Obama is now the President-Elect has something, but little, to do with the reasoned opinions and actions of the fine folks here on dKos.
What happened was that the little guys here in the USA got tired of getting screwed by the real Axis of Evil: Neocons and Plutocrats.
With the proper perspective, we want idiots like Limbaugh and Hannity to continue to spout their hate and fear. It's important to the continued fracture of the Republican brand for them to do so.
I now am all for gasbags like BillO, Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, etc. Whatever influence they have on their party works in our favor.
Let them extol the virtues of Alaska Sarah. We want her to run in 2012.
Let them drag their party ever rightward: away from the future, away from reason.
Let them continue to attempt to keep the sheeples scared.
OUR job is to police OUR party. To exert due influence on our representatives to shun the money of the Plutocrats.
As Kos has said, more, and more importantly, better Democrats.
Rush said that Pelosi and Reid grabbed their ankles for MoveOn and dKos. Truth be told, that is exactly what we want our representatives to be doing. Bending to our will out of the fear of our displeasure.
Let them do what they are programmed to do. It helps us keep them in disarray and prolongs the day when they are able to generate a respectable grassroots, bottom up, structure.
