Matt Drudge has posted this audio clip on youtube:

Kerry, speaking out against free speech, shows his ignorance on how free markets work. when the "Fairness" Doctrine was eliminated in the '80s, resulting in the birth of Talk Radio, there was little political discourse on the air waves, except for the left-wing tripe put out by taxpayer supported NPR an d the Public Broadcasting Corporation.

Let's face it: The left hates talk radio as it gets out the facts on what is going on in Congress and they have been unable to make headway in that field. Look at their attempt with Air America.

Except for a couple of markets where the leftist ranting is still on (like in Minnesota), it's pretty much dead air. Why? Because there isn't a market for the leftist/liberal/progressive/socialist (or what ever they call themselves these days) tripe on the air. That's one of the reasons that money was illegally shifted from a couple of New York charities early on to get it air America going.

Instead of competing openly in the arena of ideas, this is how the self-proclaimed "party of the people" operates: pushing government interference in eliminating opposing views.

If I didn't know any better, I would have mistaken Kerry's message for Hugo Chavez, Dictator of Venezuela.

It's about Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Choice. Either we have the right to listen to what we ant, or we don't.

If Kerry's of the world have their way, how long will it take for them to extend this "doctrine" to the Internet?
