FCC "Diversity" Czar Loves Communist Hugo Chavez

President Obama’s “diversity” czar is a huge fan of free press-crushing communist Hugo Chavez’s so-called revolution in Venezuela, viewers of the “Glenn Beck Program” learned.
Mark Lloyd, chief diversity officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), said at a conference:
In Venezuela, with Chavez, really an incredible revolution, a democratic revolution to begin to put in place saying that we are going to have impact on the people of Venezuela. The property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media in Venezuela rebelled [...] folks here in the U.S. government worked to oust him and came back and had another revolution and Chavez then started to take seriously the media in this country.
Seton Motley of the Media Research Center said Lloyd is such a fan of leftist totalitarianism that he wants to bring Chavez’s version of the Fairness Doctrine to America.
Lloyd plans to use FCC regulations on media diversity and localism “to travel alternate routes to arrive at the same destination as the Fairness Doctrine, which is to shut you up by shutting you down,” Motley told Beck. “He wants to assault the radio industry to affect an ideological outcome.”
When Beck asked Motley “the most disturbing thing” about Lloyd, Motley said:
He is fundamentally opposed to virtually any private ownership of media. He is fundamentally opposed — he faults — the original sin in communications, in his opinion, is when Jefferson — President Jefferson relinquished control, the post office control of the telegraph. When they relinquished to control to a private entity, that was the original sin of communications because that turned over communications vehicles to the private sector outside of the scope of government control.
Also on the show, Rush Limbaugh excoriated the Obama administration for its communications power grab:
This whole administration is as radical and far left as any that the country has ever had. What they’re trying to do here to communications is simply stifle dissenting voices. They’re trying to wipe out any opposition.
If you look at Barack Obama and his track record as a politician, it is to clear the playing field. He doesn’t like to debate his opponents. He just wants to get rid of them. This diversity czar comes from a fringe radical, Saul Alinsky type of background. And the things that he is talking about doing — and I watched your show for the first half hour today — and the things he is talking about doing to shut down radio are simply un-American.Â
Meanwhile, political pundits say former Rep. Joe Kennedy II (D-Massachusetts) may be in the running to be successor in the U.S. Senate to his leftist uncle Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Massachusetts) who died earlier this week.
Kennedy is a friend and ally of Hugo Chavez, who as Venezuela’s head of state controls Petroleos de Venezuela SA which in turn controls the U.S.-chartered CITGO.
Kennedy is also a communist enabler.
At the direction of Chavez, CITGO provides low-cost fuel to Kennedy’s nonprofit, Citizens Energy Corporation, which he created in 1979 to provide discounted home heating oil to low-income people in Massachusetts. The CITGO effort is part of Venezuela’s campaign in the U.S. to put a smiley face on Chavez’s iron-fisted rule.
In one TV ad about the fuel oil program, Kennedy praised CITGO and condemned U.S. oil companies and the U.S. government: “Some people say it’s bad politics to do this. I say it’s a crime against humanity not to because no one — no one — should be left out in the cold.â€
Lord, God help us. Can’t we be rid of the Kennedy’s once and for all?
Don’t pray so much Elaine, if you look back GOD has been answering your prayes.
How can you? Plain outsiders, judge with your without any real point of view on what you do not know or understand!
The true realities w/regards of HCF. You are not living in this new style of Fascism. In brief you are speaking about a crazy in-human leader who is only a Megalomaniac Bipolar Tyrant.
He has sourounded himself with plain true criminals,armed them to their teeth ,plain lickers chosen by his finger in order to obey him blindly with any and all his most destructive orders
Just check and measure the amounts of illicit enrichment by each one of them, beginning with his family! All on behalf of The poor people who been massacred by the day and have been methodically
getting poorer for the past 11 years, ever since this thugs have been in power! And they wont let go!
They( THE BOLIBARIAN)are the most criminal threat not only to Venezuelans; but inclusive to The Worlds Peace Stability!
For one thing, if they try to shut down communication, they are violating the first amendment. Freedom of Speech, press, and religion, and the right to assemble to air our grievances.
I think that even they’ve forgotten that the radio and tv stations have paid for the licenses that give them the right to broadcast, and as long as those licenses are paid for, private industry can broadcast anything they want.
Instead of going after Beck and Limbaugh, I’d like to see the FCC enforce the family hours laws and get viagra, condom, beer, and lawyer’s ads off of the TV. When a parent has to turn off the TV so their child doesn’t see rampant sex, there is something wrong with our values.
The people in Massachusetts are hopefully fed up enough with the Kennedy family not to fall for putting Joe into that seat. He bailed on his own Representative’s seat, and while he has done some good things with Citizen’s Energy, he really doesn’t have that much political support up here.
The last couple of times he has considered running for one office or another, his first wife has brought up her problems with his annullment of their marriage, and finds a way to direct the conversation to the poor way he handled the entire affair.
There’s also been talk about Patrick coming back from Rhode Island to run — but there really isn’t that much love for that guy either — he is considered somewhat of a rogue monster that treats people poorly whenever he is ready to depart for rehab.
After Governor Cadillac de Ville approves the law change to allow him to appoint a new liberal to fill in the time until the special election, there is going to be a major backlash against the democratic party in this state. Hopefully, they piss off enough people that they end up losing the seat to a republican challenger.
