Ironic Surrealism v3.0

LIKE HELL YOU WILL

Obama has said “Don’t judge me, based on what others say about me, or my words alone, but rather judge me by who I surround myself with”

Fine O have it your way!

Another OCommieCzar? Mark Lloyd (The Obama Admin’s new Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) ) glorifies Hugo Chavez’ marxist revolution in Venezuela and defends a communist. I hate to see what else Lloyd has in his bag of tricks. By the way Van Jones the former Obama Green Jobs Czar has just resigned as reported late last night around midnight. Mark Lloyd should be the next to go. And rightfully so.

Free speech and marxisim-communisim go together like oil and water. Diversity, although divisive and a leftist ideal, has little to do with what Mark Lloyd will try to accomplish while holding down his non-Congressional approval appointment, mark my word. It is but the cloak he will wear to cover his anti-freedom of speech actions. A more appropriate title would be Censorship Czar. If you speak in defense of communists you may as well be one.

Raising new concerns about another controversial Obama Administration official, testimony has surfaced from Mark Lloyd, the new Associate General Counsel and Chief Diversity Officer of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), in which he praises Paul Robeson, the communist actor and singer who was an apologist for Soviet dictator and mass murderer Joseph Stalin.

Lloyd, who worked as a broadcast journalist at NBC and CNN, has come under fire from Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck and Seton Motley of the Media Research Center for being openly critical of private media companies in the U.S. and Venezuela, where Lloyd believes that Marxist ruler Hugo Chavez is trying to implement a popular democracy.

At the FCC, Lloyd is in a position to try to influence and control media content by making statements and issuing directives on media “diversity” and fairness.

But 2005 testimony that Lloyd provided to a congressional forum headed by far-left Democratic Rep. John Conyers raises even more questions about his totalitarian mind-set and background.

At a 2008 “media reform” conference sponsored by the George Soros-funded Free Press organization, Lloyd declared that the Marxist revolution in Venezuela under Chavez was “incredible” and “dramatic” but that the “property owners and the folks who were then controlling the media in Venezuela rebelled” against the would-be dictator and supported a coup against him. However, Lloyd said that Chavez wised up and “then started to take the media seriously…”

The implication of these remarks is that Chavez dealt with his opponents in the media by trying to control or silence them, and that Lloyd supports that strategy when dealing with opponents of revolutionary Marxism here in the U.S.

…..

It is apparent that Chavez is using the government to force private companies out of the media business and restrict and investigate the remaining independent journalists. This is a process that apparently meets with the approval of “progressives” such as Mark Lloyd in the U.S.

Could this be their plan in the U.S. as well?

Go read it all!

Notable quote at the 2:47 mark:

I will also propose that the solution to the problem of bad speech is not censorship but better speech.

Hey Obama why don’t you just admit that you are a far left radical minded individual.

We knew before you were elected, and you have given us plenty of proof after the fact backing up our claims.

I will not only judge you by the company that you keep but on the content of your character. As in shady character.

Take note at this date in time, anyone who still supports Obama I will presume is cut from the same cloth.

Update:

Lloyd dismisses outright what he calls the “two primary explanations typically put forth to explain the disparities between [the respective amounts of] conservative and progressive talk radio programming.” Says Lloyd:

“In the first argument, the explosion of conservative talk radio is attributed to the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine by the [FCC] in 1987. The Fairness Doctrine was a regulation … that required broadcasters to devote airtime to important and controversial issues and to provide contrasting views on these issues in some form. From this perspective, the repeal of the doctrine in the late 1980’s allowed station owners to broadcast more opinionated, ideological, and one-sided radio hosts without having to balance them with competing views.”

This development, the theory goes, gave rise to the growth of the talk radio format spearheaded by such conservative personalities as Rush Limbaugh, G. Gordon Liddy, and Sean Hannity. Leftist/liberal radio has not produced anyone of similar stature.

But Lloyd says “the Fairness Doctrine was never, by itself, an effective tool to ensure the fair discussion of important issues.” He explains:

“The Fairness Doctrine was most effective as part of a regulatory structure that limited license terms to three years, subjected broadcasters to license challenges through comparative hearings, required notice to the local community that licenses were going to expire, and empowered the local community through a process of interviewing a variety of local leaders.”

To address each of these issues, Lloyd recommends that the FCC take the following steps “to ensure local needs are being met”:

• “Require radio broadcast licensees to regularly show that they are operating on behalf of the public interest and provide public documentation … of how they are meeting these obligations.”
• “Provide a license to radio broadcasters for a term no longer than three years.” In other words, every three years radio stations would be evaluated for their compliance with the mandate that they serve “the public interest.” (Section 307 of the 1996 Telecommunications Act extended the length of broadcast-license terms to eight years.)
• “Demand that the radio broadcast licensee announce when its license is about to expire and demonstrate how the public can participate in the pro­cess to determine whether the license should be extended.” (Such a modus operandi would provide ample opportunity for activist groups like ACORN to stage high-profile, public demonstrations against radio stations whose political content they find objectionable.)
