"We're not going to stand by and let publicly regulated radio and television just go for marketing and promoting this kind of racism," Al Sharpton said about his campaign to take Rush Limbaugh off the airwaves. Sharpton says he will be going to the FCC next week to demand Limbaugh be taken off the air.
"Rush Limbaugh has the right to say whatever he wants to say, he does not have the right, though, to do it on publicly regulated airwaves. The FCC has the responsibility to set standards," Sharpton added.
"You can't say -- in the name of free speech, you can't say anything you want," Al Sharpton said on MSNBC. "We're not talking about stopping free speech," he added.
"We're not telling Rush don't say what you want to say, say it at home, not on public airwaves," he concluded.
