Senator Schumer Is In Favor of Censoring The Internet…damn! He needs to get voted OUT asap!
Via Slash Blog:
I was calling mostly to find out why the Senator supports (and co-sponsored!) S.968, aka the PROTECT IP Act aka PIPA. Perhaps there was an argument I was missing — I know how myopic the tech world can be sometimes. [...]
The first question I asked was “why does the Senator support this legislation?”
The guy on the other end of the phone said: “well, he’s a co-sponsor so he’s not changing his position.”
He must have known why I was calling.
Asked the same question again. This time the reply I got this time was different: “Senator Schumer is in favor of censoring the internet.”
. . .whhhhhhat? Up until now, most of the statements from congresspeople have done that neat thing politicians do where they say words but don’t actually answer the question. They do the “censorship” dance very well — never say it out loud, but vote for the bill nonetheless. From what I can tell “anti-piracy” and “pro-censorship” are actually the same thing here, though politicians usually argue the former so as not to seem anti-first-amendment. No one has been brazen enough to drop the C-word without hesitation. But this dude apparently had no problem with it. I said again: “So you’re saying Senator Schumer is in favor of censoring the internet?”
Do go there and read, as she does give phone numbers and even nice scripts to use in talking to the senator or his lackeys.

Al ‘Shifty’ Sharpton has no problem with Muslims hijacking Martin Luther King Day for a Muslim Day against ‘Islamophobia’…
But he thinks its “racially insensitive” to have a televised Republican debate on MLK Day.
Go HERE.
(again, this idiot is a hypocrite! and of course like the rest of the liberals, an islamic ass kisser of the worse kind!)

Borrowing President Barack Obama’s campaign reference to “the fierce urgency of now,” U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder called on Utahns to fight for the “endearing fairness” of equal justice — hearkening to the spirit and message of slain civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.
“Let’s be clear — we have not yet reached the promised land,” Holder, the nation’s first black attorney general, told a packed Salt Lake City hotel ballroom during Friday’s Martin Luther King Jr. Human Rights Commission luncheon.
“Each one of us has the power and the obligation to improve the lives of others,” he said in a speech that lasted fewer than 15 minutes.
Holder said he has the privilege and “solemn duty” of enforcing the reforms King pioneered. He also pointed to progress, noting the Justice Department, on his watch, has filed a record number of civil cases. Justice, he added, has also launched a “groundbreaking” initiative to make legal services available to all comers.
Holder stressed that his civil rights division has strengthened the King-promoted Voting Rights Act to ensure every soldier, senior and student has the right to cast ballots. And he pledged to protect the rights of all Americans, referencing military members serving abroad, the disabled and those facing language barriers.
“This is in keeping with the arc of American history,” he told the crowd, “which is always geared toward inclusion, not exclusion.”
(means he still has all us tea party believers in his crosshairs. Plus of course he will make damn sure that everyone has the right to cast ballots, just no voter id so his boss the islamic guy can get all those dead people votes, all those illegal alien votes, and all those islamic votes)
