Nasally Speaking: Waxman Says AmSpec Article on Limbaugh & Hannity Is False
On Monday, the American Spectator posted a story on its website claiming that House Oversight Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA) “has asked his investigative staff” to compile “reports” on right-wing radio hosts Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity and Mark Levin. The Spectator, quoting anonymous sources, said the move was part of an effort to bring back the “Fairness Doctrine”:
Others on the Democrat side are pushing ahead with other plans. Rep. Henry Waxman has asked his investigative staff to begin compiling reports on Limbaugh, and fellow radio hosts Sean Hannity and Mark Levin based on transcripts from their shows, and to call in Federal Communications Commission chairman Kevin Martin to discuss the so-called “Fairness Doctrine.”
The Spectator’s article was quickly picked up by the rest of the conservative media. On his radio show on Monday, Rush Limbaugh called Waxman “un-American,” comparing him to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez. Most conservative blogs went into hysterics over the report, though some were skeptical of the source. The Family Research Council also sent an e-mail blast to supporters warning of censorship.
“He was always such a good, honest boy,” Waxman’s mother was quoted as saying. Henry is shown above in better days.
Fox News’s Hannity and Colmes unsurprisingly picked up the story as well.
Think Progress has it here, Watch it:
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Is it just me or does that creep Waxman look like a chihuaha? Wonder if he also smells like ass? I mean, since his tactic here is asinine, it just goes without saying?
This is Komrade Moonbat Peloskis’s doing. She wants to end all debate the only way that she can…by legislating it off the air.
Someone should remind the Dhimi-commies that the First Amendment doesn’t allow for the infringement of free speech.

We should believe Waxman because? At 5′5″ you never know what complex lurks behind that nose.
