Talk Radio Bit Irritates Doyle Allies
Milwaukee Talk Radio host Charlie Sykes has been airing a bit that gets to the heart of the problem with Jim Doyle's position on School Choice.
It's very powerful.
And it has upset the Doyle camp.
Bill Christofferson, of Xoff fame, claims it's illegal.
Peter, of Texas Hold 'em, says this is a sign of things to come from the left.
This is a harbinger of what liberals will try to do with so-called campaign finance reform: silence talk radio and the blogs who take on leftists. This is a free speech issue, liberals.It will be interesting to see if the Doyle campaign or its allies follow up the Xoff rant/trial balloon with an actual complaint against Journal Communications.
One of the funniest lines in Xoff's post is:
I'm not a lawyer and not in the business of filing lawsuits or complaints. But someone who is should take a close look at this and consider filing complaints with both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the State Elections Board, for starters.I find it funny because, back in the day when Christofferson was running campaigns, his candidates or their supporters would often file last minute Elections Board complaints against the GOP candidate. In some cases, by the time the complaints were dismissed, the election would be over.
Bill, you know darn well you don't have to be a lawyer to file a complaint with the FCC or the Elections Board. If you are so sure Charlie's bit is illegal, go for it!

I noticed that, instead of mentioning the law that Charlie and WTMJ is breaking, Xoff has now changed tactics. He's saying that WTMJ should offer "equal time" to him and his kind. Oops; the "Fairness" Doctrine is gone and forgotten, and even if it weren't, I'm sure the newscasts and the Green House would qualify as "equal time".
Don't Mike Gousha and the rest constitute equal time? How about the whole newspaper?
In all seriousness, Christofferson knows better. He should just apologize now.
So what's next?
Issue ads on television the week before the election, paid for by no one but aired free by the stations?
See any problem with that?
Or is it just me?
It's just you, Xoff. In fact, I'm surprised you're not welcoming those TV ads because the TV stations tend to be far more liberal than radio stations. As long as they make it as clear it's theirs as Charlie makes clear that his spot is his, we're golden.
Oh, before I forget, every time I've heard Charlie play his spot, he says it's his. It may not be in the quick, "concise" method used in actual ads (that mention sham groups more often than not). Care to give up now before the sharks really get hungry?

It is just you, if it was the Madison Newspapers or The Journal-Sentinal Running anything like this, you would have No problem with it, but seeing as that its A vast Right-Wing Conspiracy against you and Jim "I have all the emotion of a Bassett Hound" Doyle,
your gonna run to any Lawyer you can until you find one who is willing to take something like this on.
Harry Truman (a Democrat by the way) once said "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Well, if Jim Doyle can't stand the heat, perhaps he should get out of.......
THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE!
