Politico has an three-page article detailing the Obama administrations plan to marginalize Rush Limbaugh.  If you don’t happen to like Rush Limbaugh, that’s no big deal, but there are a few aspects of this that need to be investigated.  I’m posting this even though I feel Rush Limbaugh is more than capable of taking care of himself (as Benjamin Franklin once said, “Never argue with a man who buys his ink by the barrel …”).  Rush does not buy ink by the barrel (although he may–he publishes a magazine), but is well-respected by a large number of Americans who vote. 

First, Rush Limbaugh is a private citizen.  What kind of administration is in the business of silencing the voices of private citizens?  A democracy should be open to all voices.

Second, how many months will it be before some form of the fairness doctrine is put in force?

Third, why is this administration so afraid of opposing voices?   Do you remember what they did to ‘Joe the Plumber’?

This is not just a clash of prominent personalities–one in government and one in the private sector–the is an administration using the power and force of government against a private citizen.
