VIDEO: DC Liberals Sign Petition to Ban Conservative Websites
MRC TV (Media Research Center TV) ^ | 5/26/2011 | Stephen Gutowski

Posted on 05/26/2011 11:14:57 AM PDT by blog.Eyeblast.tv

After hearing news the other day that the Obama administration had appointed a new position to monitor and push back against negative online press we thought some liberals in DC might think it wasn't enough. So we sent Joe Schoffstall out to see just how far liberals would go to silence conservative speech. Joe went around Georgetown in DC with a petition to "Ban Conservative Hate Sites" that said this:

"The undersigned hereby adamantly demand that the United States government shut down right wing hate sites. The hate speech propagated by sites like the Drudge Report, Hot Air, Instapundit, Big Government, and others must not be allowed to corrupt our political discourse any longer. These sites are dangerous not only to truth and freedom but also to our society as a whole. BAN THEM NOW!"

That is pretty radical rhetoric that no reasonable, freedom-loving, red-blooded American could possibly agree with, right? Well, see for yourself:

Can’t we start the same thing? I’m sure we could come up with as many liberal hate sites.

When we said “Free Speech”, we didn’t mean for you.

We can see how you ignorant morons would be confused though and we forgive you.

Now pay your taxes, we need the money. :)

One more step in bringing the old Soviet Union Article 58 to our shores.
Hint: It was Joe Stalin’s favorite.

I hope they kept the names. People wandering around Georgetown are statistically more likely than most to run for Congress at some point in their lives.

There is no law against yelling fire in a theater crowded or otherwise, as long as there is one.

I am the guy in the video. This is meant to be sarcasm and irony to show the hypocritical nature of the left. That they agree with free speech only if it applies to them.

It would have been even more funny if the list had included DU and MoveOn.org. The libs have no idea what they are doing or saying at any time.

Like Ed Schultz, who just got suspended from NBC for calling Laura Ingraham a right-wing slut.

The liberals should watch out because there are only 20% liberals and 40% Conservatives and 40% others.

Thanks for pointing that out for those who couldn't figure out what you were doing. It also answers the question for the poster who suggested 'we' do the same thing.

Cheers, and keep up the good work!

What would be really interesting would be to transpose the identification of the 'left-wing' and 'right'wing' sites and see how many of these dimwits can tell the difference, or if they sign/vote strictly based on left or right wing labeling.
