Fox and Friends - Kilmead Calls for Office of Censorship

On June 29, during Fox News Radio's "Brian & The Judge," co-host Brian Kilmeade (also co-host of Fox News' "Fox & Friends") suggested that the U.S. government should "put up the Office of Censorship."

Kilmeade noted that, during World War II, President Franklin Roosevelt instituted an Office of Censorship.

Kilmeade then (rather incoherently) justified reviving the idea:

KILMEADE: See, I'm more into the ends justifying the means. And what they do is, you can sunset this... The same way they have the Patriot Act sunsetted. You put up the Office of Censorship. You get a consensus to journalists to analyze and then you realize what FDR realized early. Winning is everything. Freedom is -- you don't have any freedom if the Nazis are the victors.

You see, we have to "suspend freedom for just a little bit" while we get this ugliness worked out. Honest, the feds will give it back when they're done with it. Sure thing. We'll go back to normal just as soon as the "war on terror" is over. When do you think that will be? I suppose it'll be right after we declare victory in the "war on drugs" and the "war on poverty". Then you'll get your freedoms back.
