And that would have been ok?
Wouldn’t he get in trouble with the FCC?

Remember when they went after Joe the Plumber by searching his state tax records? Remember how they used the IRS to go after conservative organizations? They don't always use the power of government to do it, but they do when they can get away with it...which is often, since all they have to do is deny it, and the media will support them in stating the denial as truth...the ultimate cover.

Going after him, Ned?
Suppressing Speech? Like imprisonment?
Tell us more, Ned. Did you note what the author said about the caller:
“Schmeck had every legal right, as he says, to be rude to the president while he and the first lady were answering calls to NORAD’s Santa tracking center. Schmeck ended the call with “Merry Christmas and ‘Let’s Go Brandon’” — then insisted he meant “no disrespect” by the obviously disrespectful phrase, whose meaning no longer requires elucidation.
Here we get to the meaning of the First Amendment. It means that here, unlike in authoritarian countries, Schmeck not only has the right to say what he wants about the president, he also can say it directly to him, without fear of being jailed, being fined or being punished by the government in any way.
His freedom of speech is near absolute — just like that of the person who burns an American flag or wears a jacket emblazoned with “F--- the Draft” into a courthouse. No one can punish him — not in America. (At least not yet; see, for example, Donald Trump’s threat to “open up our libel laws.”)
But it is also fair game for others to criticize Schmeck for what he said. “I am being attacked for utilizing my freedom of speech,” Schmeck complained, utilizing his freedom of speech. Wrong. He is being attacked for being out of line, and while incivility is constitutionally protected, it is not immune from public criticism. “The remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence,” Justice Louis Brandeis wrote in a famous dissent.”

I am even more ashamed, in light of my Godfather I v Godfather II discussion yesterday with my nephew and his girlfriend — newbies to the greatest two films ever made.

Guess I hit a nerve. Here is a pointer for you, though: Logical fallacies are not effective against the truth.
Looks like threats right now? I suspect it will be more. The action against him may be going after his job. But, there may be officials going after him. He may get audited. We will just have to see, won't we. No need to start acting crazy. Let's just watch and see what happens.
The guy was an ass for doing that, but he did perform a service, in that he showed us that Biden has no idea what is going on day-to-day, which is why you are posting, because you want to distract from that. It is just too bad that our enemies have to see things like that; they won't be so easily distracted by you.
As to imprisonment, we have seen the Left imprison someone for using their right to free speech...someone who would never have been arrested except that the Left needed a scapegoat. Your side is anti-freedom.
