Feminist super lefties Jane Fonda, Robin Morgan, and Gloria Steinem don’t like Rush Limbaugh. No surprise there.
But in a scarier development, now they (and I’m sure others on the left) are calling call for actual government censorship.
They want the FCC to take Limbaugh off the air.
While I think the demand is laughable on its face, it does illustrate the contempt that these people have for the First Amendment. While a lot of people misuse the word “censorship” in describing things like citizen boycotts and counter-boycotts (or “buycotts”), it needs to be remembered that if the FCC were to do the bidding of these people, it really would be censorship.
If people don’t like Rush Limbaugh, they can turn off their radios or switch to another channel, or not buy from his advertisers. But by trying to get the government to take him off the air, they are trying to prevent other people from listening to Rush Limbaugh, using government force.
They are sworn enemies of free speech.
Limbaugh has a history of calling such people “Feminazis.” Which he has a right under the First Amendment to do.
So what are they trying to do? Prove him right?

Is that a trick question?
I’m reminded of the time a newspaper was prosecuted for "false statements about alleged absence of the freedom of the press".
