Surely they must be kidding:
By criticizing Dreier’s positions on immigration, promoting a “Fire Dreier” campaign and making on-air appeals for voters to elect Matthews, the NRCC said, the hosts gave Matthews an unlawful corporate, in-kind contribution of more than $25,000.
“This behavior is illegal and must be appropriately punished,” the NRCC charged, noting violation of the law carries a penalty of fines and jail time.
For the record, the John & Ken Show (local here in CA) is ardently rightwing, and they have been highly critical of Drier (and the Republicans) for giving lip-service to immigration policies.
Nonetheless, we agree with the National Republican Campaign Committee! Radio hosts who use the public air waves to support one candidate over another should immediately be censured, fined, and have their licenses revoked! Where do we sign up?
i saw these two guys interviewed on on of the thuggish chat shows. i was kind of shocked that they would go after Freier. Their main concern is immigration, if i am recalling correctly.
Nevertheless, i agree. When are these guys going after Limbaugh… Hannity…et al. Didnt Limbaugh already turn himself in fro his dope issue and isnt he doing time in a cell? i mean that is the law and order thing to do…
Another victory against free speech.
Funny how the Campaign Finance Reform laws do nothing to limit bribes/contributions to politicians but do very much to limit free speech.
This is Fascism masquerading as Political Correctness and it isn’t what I signed up to defend.
