Florida county may cancel deal with radio station because it airs Rush Limbaugh

Posted on June 14, 2007

We read:

“Rush Limbaugh has long been a thorn in the side of liberals, but now, because of him, some Democratic politicians don’t even want to join with a local radio station to broadcast hurricane information.

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 Limbaugh’s talk show…..

Ken Charles, WIOD’s director of AM programming, said Tuesday the station’s talk show lineup has no relationship with its news coverage and that the county should focus on the benefits of teaming with the station. “It’s a shame that people would let politics get in the way of saving lives in a hurricane,” Charles said.

Leftists desperately NEED political censorship. The truth is too damaging to them,

I have a feeling that once things get a little to “hot” for the liberals there trying to pull the emergency programming, they’ll do an about-face.

This has nothing to do with this topic but I went to a school graduation
Tuesday evening where a student led us all in the Pledge of Alligance
and prayer, and it was obvious that the prayer was approved by the school
and even sounded as if it has been written by a teacher. I made a comment
to one of the teachers and her attitude was nuts with the ACLU. I am
thinking of calling a ACLU lawyer and complain to him about it and when
he or she asked me what school is was, I would then tell him where to go
and it would not be heaven.
