commenting on the Alaska Senate race:
“Yesterday, Lisa Murkowski’s hired guns threatened radio host Dan Fagan, and more importantly, the station that airs Fagan’s show, with legal action for allegedly illegal ‘electioneering.’ The station, unlike Murkowski, who is flush with millions of dollars from vested corporate interests, does not have a budget for a legal defense. So it did what any small market station would do when threatened by Beltway lawyers charging $500 to $1000 an hour – they pulled Dan Fagan off the air.
Does all this sound heavy handed? It is. It is an interference with Dan Fagan’s constitutional right to free speech. It is also a shocking indictment against Lisa Murkowski. How low will she go to hold onto power?”
& read the rest:
I really hope Alaskans elect anybody other than Lisa Murkowski. Okay, I really hope they elect Joe Miller. But, I would settle for any outcome which gets this Murkowski thug the hell out of power and which preferably ensures she never runs for any office ever again.
