These bass turds can start with the White House website. When they get done there, they can head on over to the ObamaCare website.

I think we should start reporting all left-wing college professors, politicians and media people for subversion.

Ha! Good luck with that. Only those who have not sworn allegiance to Marx, Lenin and Obama will be tracked in this particular database. You know, continuing the work the IRS started.

The Nazis would have loved this.

In the 1930’s the Nazi government in Germany and the Communist government in Russia had laws to stop this kind of “SPEECH”. Now, what will these gnomes in Washington do, if they should determine some kind of speech on the computer? Will they shut the offender down? Yep, no more computer for you. Or will they, eventually put all of these offenders in the “GULAG” like the Soviet Russians or “CONCENTRATION CAMP” like the Germans. Yep, these liberals, socialists and communists like to quote the constitution, when ever they make a speech, but God help the poor bastard that is a “CONSERVATIVE” when he is accused of making a “HATE SPEECH”, like saying something against OBAMA.

Our only hope is to overload the system with Youtube cat videos.

Exactly, dump as much rediculous garbage in their faces as possible. The reactive nature is stupid enough.

Nazis.
Hitler.

(There was an article last week that said free and unfettered interweb communication can lead someone to comment that this regime is comparable to Hilter and Nazis. Danged if they weren’t right!)

“This service could mitigate the diffusion of false and misleading ideas, detect hate speech and subversive propaganda, and assist in the preservation of open debate,”

The last clause contradicts the first two. Who is going to determine what constitutes "hate speech" and "subversive propaganda"? We've seen how libs define these terms to stigmatize virtually all conservative political comment. "Bush lied, people died" = legitimate comment. "I oppose Obamacare" = racist hate speech. "Impeach Bush!" = patriotism. "Impeach Obama!" = treason.

[Citizen Zed]

That's so gay.

[Steve_Seattle]

" . . . is designed to “detect political smears, astroturfing, misinformation, and other social pollution.”

The phrase "social pollution" jumps out. Conservatives typically regard "social pollution" as obscene and vulgar entertainment, or lifestyles revolving around crime and drugs and social irresponsibility. But you can be sure that is NOT what these libs mean by the phrase. I suspect that, for them, "social pollution" means any disagreement with THEIR point of view on virtually anything.

FReepers, Let's go!
Everyone needs to donate!

After it has been ‘detected,’ then what? Warrants? Public floggings in the town square?
