Schumer and Emanuel Must Be Dancing for Joy: Venezuelans Losing Freedom of Speech
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on September 7, 2009
Freedom of speech is under attack by the Obama administration... we could become Venezuela very soon if we don't take action against FCC czar and 'media diversity' scam
Freedom of speech is being plugged up faster than a leaky dinghy by Venezuela’s corrupt, tyrannical government. If Chuck Schumer and Rahm Emanuel had their way, America would have beaten them to the punch at silencing those who oppose the government. Don’t even get me started on the disgraceful Nancy Pelosi.
Damn that Rush Limbaugh and that blasted Constitution!

Chavez minister vows more Venezuela radio closings
September 5, 2009
Venezuela will pull the plug on 29 more radio stations, a top official in President Hugo Chavez’s government said on Saturday, just weeks after dozens of other outlets were closed in a media clampdown.
Infrastructure Minister Diosdado Cabello closed 34 radio stations in July, saying the government was “democratizing” media ownership. Critics say the move limits freedom of expression and has taken critical voices off the airwaves.
The powerful Chavez ally has threatened to close over 100 stations in total, part of a long-term campaign against private media that the government says are biased against Chavez’s government.
“Another 29 will be gone before long,” he told thousands of Chavez supporters at a political rally, without giving details which stations would be closed or when.
Cabello also said he was launching a new legal case against Globovision, the country’s most prominent anti-government television network, accusing it of inciting a coup against Chavez.
Text messages circulated Last week in Venezuela saying a coup against Chavez was imminent. Other messages circulated among Chavez supporters calling for them to be on the alert.
