Why Do Rush And Sean Scare Them So?
By Hugh Hewitt
Radio station WIOD, AM 610, has been the official channel for emergency information from Broward County government for the past year. The County Commission, all Democrats, balked at renewing the deal Tuesday, unable to stomach the station also being home to [Rush] Limbaugh's talk show.
Commissioner Stacy Ritter said she did not want to support a station that's out of step with area politics. Ritter, a Democratic stalwart in the state Legislature before being elected to county office, cited talk shows hosted by Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and WIOD's partnership with Fox News.

And so we reach the inevitable end of the left’s campaign against the First Amendment. The Democrats in Broward County have officially declared themselves as the anti-free speech party. Commissioner Ritter is to be applauded for her candor, for declaring openly what elected Democrats across the country mutter quietly to themselves: “Rush, Sean and the rest must be silenced!”
I have heard of brass-knuckled politics before, but never anything on the order of denying your political opponents news of approaching hurricanes.
When Katrina struck, some wild-eyed lefties accused President Bush of denying relief efforts to New Orleans because the city was predominantly African-American.
Now we have actual proof of Democrats wanting to keep conservatives in the dark about approaching storms.

Yep, Rush and Sean must bother the lefties a lot or they wouldn't get all sweaty around 'em!

The station will still make emergency announcements, they will not be the 'Official' station - simply an advertising advantage.
However, to make a city business decision based on politics such as that this is not only irresponsible but insanely hypocritical. Of course, this is SOP from the left.
