Should the Army be allowed to block Air America on the Internet?

[Joey Liberal]

I work for the Army and can no longer listen to Air America on the Internet at work. Since I live in a fucked up red state where Clear Channel rules the airwaves, I cannot listen to my favorite Randi Rhodes on the radio. So, I listened to her on the Internet at work. But, the Army bastards blocked the Air America web site and the proxy site that I used. I think it sucks, but what do you think? Should the Army be allowed to block Air America on the Internet?

1. Drip, drip, drip, taking your freedom away

one step at a time...

2. Considering they air Rush on AFR...

This is definitely a protestable action in my view. They shouldn't be allowed only to present one side of an issue. Not with taxpayer dollars.

3. It depends

do they block all radio stations? I know that due to the immense amount of bandwidth that they require most schools have an outright ban on all radio downloading. If they block Air America as part of that, then they are within their rights.

If, on the other hand, they block Air America but not anything else, then given that the Army is a branch of the government, you might have a case.

7. They do not block all radio stations n/t

4. Are they blocking all radio, or just AA?

If you can get conservative radio, but not liberal, that is BAD. If they are blocking all radio, that is another thing altogether.

You may just have to bite the bullet and get one of those pay radios. That seems to be where they are going with this shit....

5. They can't block all 55 stations.

Try these two. They both have listen live links.

12. Thanks and.......

I just fell in love with you! Just kiddin' :).............

[kaitykaity]

13. Lol.

Why thank you. That's the nicest thing
anybody's said to me today.

:hi:

[Joey Liberal]

14. You're welcome

Nobody has told you how beautiful you are today???:)...........

[napi21]

6. Absolutely NOT!

If they can listen to Rush, the BBC broadcasts, etc, why would they restrict AAR? The idea sounds illegal to me! First ammendment rights. Castro would do this kind of stuff, but not the USA!!!!

[Joey Liberal]

9. They do allow Rush Slimebaugh on the radio

Limbaugh is broadcasted to the troops all over the world.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

11. Yes, I noticed that when I was in Japan

Can't the non-knuckle-dragging military personnel petition to have Malloy or some other equally spirited left-wing talker on as well?

Of course, broadcasting Limbaugh serves the military's purpose well, since his program pushes hatred of liberals and foreigners.

[sarcasmo]

15. The Army is Fascists so they will do what they want . Rush is OK

that should tell you something.

[yurbud]

16. you're kidding right? If not, please give the base

So we can contact our congressmen and the DoD.

[yurbud]

17. or buy a sirius satellite radio (that's how I listen most of the time)

[pstokely]

20. AAR won't be on Siruis after July nt

[yurbud]

21. shit! do you have a link on that?

I bought their damn equipment and everything.

I'll have to go back to radio.

[DrDebug]

18. Use another proxy

There are still zillion proxies for grab and they can't block them all...

[lapauvre]

19. er, didn't ya know?

Zee liberal radio is verboten. It vill be taken vrum your pozzezzion.
lol
