Watch out, folks! This blog, Matt Drudge, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity are all in the crosshairs of the loony left.

There is serious talk about reinstating the “Fairness Doctrine” if Dems take the White House in ‘08 and solidify their hold on both houses of Congress.

Of course, everyone knows that the “Fairness Doctrine” is anything but fair. In its demand that broadcasters provide equal time to anyone who feels their opinion has not been represented well or excluded, it results in a shutdown of everything but liberal opinion. Say Sean Hannity decides to spend his three-hour show critiquing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. All stations who broadcast Hannity would then be required to offer Pelosi three hours to respond.

The result? Most stations would choose to drop Hannity, rather than put on three hours of boring-as-hell Pelosi rebuttal.

The whole thing is aimed at eliminating talk radio, Fox news and conservative bloggers … the “new media,” who are responsible in the view of the lefties, for their electoral defeats of the past 10-15 years or so.

And don’t doubt that bloggers will fall under the scope of any new fairness doctrine that the Dems might create. Democratic congressmen Maurice Hinchey and Dennis Kucinich are leading the charge in the House and are simply waiting for President Hillary or President Obama to be anointed before moving full steam ahead, passing the conservative-squelching measures and then retiring to a Disney vacation home to enjoy the sounds of silence from the right.

Liberal loon filmmaker Michael Moore is at it again.

His upcoming film, Sicko, which will attempt to take a swipe at US health care, is simply another excuse to take another swipe at President George W. Bush… in a manufactured, truth-challenged way. The New York post reports that Moore attempted to take several 9-11 survivors with medical problems to Cuba, in the hope of making Cuban communist dictator Fidel Castro’s health care system look superior to the US health care system. And has better logo pens.

Uhh, which country is home to the Mayo Clinic again? Oops, never mind, don’t bother Moore with the truth. It only upsets him.

Moore’s latest victim, a disabled medic named Michael McCormack, was contacted by Moore via phone.

“What he [Moore] wanted to do is shove it up George W.’s rear end that 9/11 heroes had to go to a communist country to get adequate health care,” McCormack told the Post.

Yet McCormack was left behind when the Moore train left the station for the arms of Uncle Fidel.

“It’s the ultimate betrayal,” McCormack said. “You’re promised that you’re going to be taken care of, and then you find out you’re not. He’s trying to profiteer off of our suffering.”

Classy guy, Mr. Moore! You’re right up there with New York Daily News columnist Michael Daly.

Even a phony stint in a drug rehab facility won’t be enough to save Don Imus’ radio career. Imus, whose CBS Radio show Imus in the Morning, was one of the first “shock jocks.” However, because he was a politically liberal shock jock, he was able to get away with saying just about anything that leaped into his mind … until this week, when he was canned for disparaging remarks about the Rutgers women’s basketball team made last week in the wake of the NCAA Women’s NCAA championship game, which Rutgers lost to Tennessee.

Imus began his career as a disc jockey in 1966. After bouncing around a bit as DJs tend to do, he started his Imus in the Morning show 29 years ago, in 1979 and although the show moved with him after that, it stayed on the air until racially-tinged comments spelled his doom.

The illustrative point of the Imus episode is not that Imus suddenly went over the line one day, but that someone finally called him on it. Imus had been a foul-mouthed, rude and crude, insulting personality all of his career, making a living off of saying things people aren’t “supposed” to say. The Rutgers comments were not unique; they were typical of his show. The main reason he was never called on it was that his liberal politics kept him insulated from criticism.

The notable element is not Imus’ character, which has always been crude, but the hypocrisy of MSNBC and CBS Radio execs, who acted like Imus had never said anything offensive prior to last week’s show.

The other hypocritical element is that suddenly Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, who have many well-known incidents of putting their feet in their mouths themselves, are suddenly the self-appointed arbiters of what’s OK and what’s not OK to say. They’re calling for a “national dialog” on broadcast standards. Follow the politics there.

You see, Imus is simply a victim of a larger agenda; the real goal here is not to cost Imus his job, even though he deserves to lose it. No, there’s a bigger agenda at play here. The Imus incident is merely the catalyst.

You can bet that, if anyone grants Jackson or Sharpton their agenda as a result of Imus’ comment, the targets will soon be turned toward all of talk radio and their real agenda - to eliminate conservative talk radio from the airwaves - will be revealed.

Imus may be the first casualty, but the long-term targets are Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and other conservative notables. Sure, none of them sit around using the racially-charged slurs Imus used. Doesn’t matter. Eliminating conservative media is what this is all about, and if a liberal icon like Imus has to be sacrificed along the way, so be it.
