Al Sharpton is famously opposed to as racist, anybody saying anything that contradicts his world view. Obviously this includes Rush Limbaugh. On the Ed Shultz show that nobody watches, Sharpton says that the federal government shouldn't just "let people say what they want.".......
I guess Al isn't familiar with the first amendment to the Constitution. Liberals have been incensed with talk radio for 30 years because it represents a contrary view(read, the truth) to their far-left propaganda with which they indoctrinate Americans day in and day out. As long as there are conservative voices out there, it makes herding the American people like sheep impossible, so they want to shut it down. And they use the same old name-calling they always use to do it....racism, homophobia, sexism, etc.
Because the FCC consists of unaccountable, political appointees, the democrats currently control it for the next 2 years. Al knows that if he can get the FCC to rule in his favor and force talk stations to offer opposing viewpoints to Rush, it'll be the same as a backdoor Fairness Doctrine and all talk radio will disappear....exactly what democrats want.

I don't think Rush has ever incited a mob to torch a store in his neighborhood that was owned by the "wrong" people resulting in deaths. Or, pushed a purely fabricated tale of kidnap and rape. Sharpton has done both and it's a sad commentary on our society that he is accorded any credence at all.
