Note to Steele and Todd Juvinal
No need to back off. It is not a free speech issue. The beauty of
SuperPacs, Obama has no control over returning donations, and people
including Russ Steele have to PAY to listen to Bill Maher, and thus it
is NOT a public use of the airwaves. You don't like Maher? Boycott
your private tv dish or cable provider. In the meantime plans are afoot
to have a trailer that is pulled about town with the names of local
advertisers who support Rush on KNCO. Of course it will absolutely up to
code for everything, and equipped with front and rear videocams, and
obeying the laws religiously. Now that's free speech! I have no desire
to have KNCO go silent, I just want them to make better use of those
three hours. If reducing local advertising revenue is going to "hurt"
them, then consider the following:
If KNCO gets national attention directed at GV/NC for dropping the
Rush show, it may bring a lot of interest, new people, moving in, and/or
being tourists. In short, more money, and more local advertising.
losing Rush could be the start of a whole new and more prosperous world,
and I really doubt that the major advertisers dropped him without doing
a lot of market research, and realized that he was becoming a liability
even before he pushed the slut button. It was a great out for them.
"Gee (to loyal ditto-ites) we're so sorry we had to drop him, but you do
believe in family values, don't you?"
Speaking of which, should a school teacher EVER even vaguely suggest,
even in unintentionally overheard private conversation, that a
colleague, an administrator, a parent, or God totally forbid, a student,
was a SLUT, Steele and Todd would have their job instantly. So, the
moves against Rush are payback for your and Rush's attitudes towards
teachers, as seen everywhere. Rush can go to 6th and Mission, and blab
all he wants. He has no special entitlement to a nationwide microphone,
or an Armed Forces radio network microphone.

Not only is that free speech at its best, it's also the free market at work, which -- as we all know -- is infallible.
