Can’t Beat ‘Em? Censor ‘Em!

  • 432927127-_o The ‘Crush Rush’ agenda has moved on to another level. It has gone from trying to force an apology, for something he never said, to completely being censored. What? Yeah, Sen. Ken Salazar is running with that sad little idea. But this is how the Democrats like to think, if it’s possible to completely silence someone you disagree with why not do so?

    Sen. Ken Salazar dove further into the Rush Limbaugh brouhaha today, saying he’d support censoring the conservative radio talk-show host for his use of the words “phony soldiers.”

    During a conference call with reporters, Salazar, a Colorado Democrat, said he’d support censor if a vote were taken. None is planned currently in the Senate.

    “Rush Limbaugh owes an apology,” Salazar said. “He owes an apology to the men and women in uniform who are doing the duty that the commander in chief has asked them to do.”

    Censor? What kind of crap do these people think they can get away with? It’s really bad when the left starts to promote removing a private citizens right to free speech. Free speech is there so that you can say whatever you want, more so, it is there so you offensive things without being silenced.

    The Daily Sentinel also points out that Salazar’s brother is helping track phony soldiers.

    Salazar last month denounced MoveOn.org for an advertisement it placed in The New York Times calling the American commander in Iraq, Gen. David Petraeus, “Betray-us.”

    Ken Salazar voted for a resolution criticizing MoveOn.org for its ad, but other than his vote, Salazar “didn’t register much righteous indignation,” said Dick Wadhams, chairman of the Colorado Republican Party.

    His brother, meantime, U.S. Rep. John Salazar, D-Colo., is working to establish a database of soldiers who have earned military honors so that people who falsely claim to hold medals can be prosecuted under the Stolen Valor Act, which John Salazar authored.

    ABC News recently broadcast a report on phony soldiers, including MacBeth.

    “Is Salazar going to vote to censor ABC News?” Wadhams said.
