Need evidence that the Democrats want to use the revival of the so-called "Fairness Doctrine" to censor one side of the political debate? Consider this -- and the frightening implications of this investigation.

According to another Democrat leadership aide, Pelosi and her team are focused on several targets in the fight, including Rush Limbaugh and the Salem Radio Network. In fact, Kucinich's staff has begun investigating Salem, one of the fastest growing radio networks in the country, which features such popular -- and highly rated -- conservative hosts as Bill Bennett and Michael Medved, and Christian hosts such as Dr. Richard Land.

"They are identifying senior employees, their political activities and their political giving," says a Government Reform committee staffer. "Salem is a big target, but the big one is going to be Limbaugh. We know we can't shut him up, but we want to make life a bit more difficult for him."

Limbaugh will always be a target for the Left -- but that you have the congressional staff of a presidential candidate actively investigating the political participation of members of the media is rather frightening.

I can hear the questions from Kucinich now: "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the Republican Party or any Republican front organization?"
