You know, it wouldn't surprise me if the Evil Party tried to use the UN

to do the dirty work on a 'fairness doctrine'; they think the UN is wonderful, and look what it thinks of free speech:
...Having briefly offered lip service to the rights of free expression, it goes on to say that “the exercise of these rights carries with it special duties and responsibilities and may therefore be subject to limitations as are provided for by law and are necessary for respect of the rights or reputations of others, protection of national security or of public order, public health or morals and respect for religions and beliefs.
Now, we know what 'religion and belief' this is aimed at, as Hitchens says: Watch what you say, because our declared intention is to criminalize opinions that differ with the one true faith. Let nobody say that they have not been warned. But take a look at that laundry list; it's like the law the Evil Party wants to pass saying an assault weapon is pretty much whatever the AG decides, and for the same reason: they want to be able to ban anything and everything they choose. In this case, "Saying that is bad for public order/health/security/the reputation of said corrupt politician in our opinion; shut up or go to jail."

Remember, these are the people Obama & Co. would love to give oversight of this country to.
