Betsy Newmark makes the link between attempts to suppress Stanley Kurtz and David Fredosso to the disinvitation of Sarah Palin to the anti-Ahmadinijad ralli in NYC. She’s keenly also mentions that Dems want to re-start the fairness doctrine. Says Newmark:

The Democrats would prefer to politicize what should be a nonpartisan protest against Iranian nukes and are willing to pull out all the stops, even threatening an IRS investigation, before they allow Sarah Palin to get a bit of publicity by appearing at an anti-Ahmadinejad rally. Rather than show solidarity with Israel against Iran, they’ll play some pretty despicable backroom politics. That’s how they put party first over country. And all those media people who are so afraid of what the Republicans would do to free and open speech might want to look to how the Obama campaign and its surrogates treat opposition and wonder what such tactics augur for when they had full control of the government and had used that control to pass their Orwellian version of shutting down conservative talk radio in the name of free speech through the Fairness Doctrine.

Dems aren’t for free speech and neither are Obama’s most fervent supporters. Their brown-shirted anarchy of silencing techniques parallels that of, well, Hitler’s Brown Shirts.
