FCC Show Trial for Rush Limbaugh?

Orchestrated by Al Sharpton?  Could be (from the American Spectator):

...apparently the FCC is looking into warping beyond all recognition its definition of "public hearing" -- with the Reverend Al Sharpton lending a hand.

Public hearings would instead be used to drag unfavorables like Rush Limbaugh before the Commission to "explain how they justify" their availing themselves of their First Amendment rights. And to threaten their stations' broadcast licenses should they fail the FCC's definition of "justification."

Here's what the crooked Rev. Al had to say on a recent radio program:

One, we met -- the heads of the National Action Network and I -- with some of the FCC Commissioners. And we're asking for public hearings on what should be standards in regard to race and gender on publicly regulated TV and radio.

What Rush Limbaugh and others have done I believe has pushed the envelope beyond free speech.

We all have the right to free speech, we all have the right -- including those on the right-wing -- to express ourselves. But if there are standards on decency that the government gives and enforces for regulated licenses for television and radio, then included in that ought to be those that make references explicitly or implicitly based on race, gender and sexual orientation.

And we intend to follow that up with public hearings and bring some of those in front of a public hearing to explain how they justify the use of federally regulated airwaves to offend people based on who they are -- not using free speech based on what their opinions may be.

Some people might be intimidated by being called before the Federal government to testify, but asking Rush Limbaugh to testify about free speech is like asking a lion to testify about how he likes his zebra prepared. Rush will eat the FCC alive with his explanation of the Constitution and especially the free speech clause. Rev. Al doesn't know what he's doing if he thinks he can make Rush look bad in that environment.

Bring it on.
