Grass-Roots Activists and Bloggers Brace for New Regulation [McCain gunning for the Net]

[TheDon]

Not quite. After all, we did vote these jokers into office.

[OKIEDOC]

McCaniac and Feinghoul are trying to curry favor with the MSM who see them as their darling candidate.

The MSM see this as a way to reverse their huge loss of circulation power with the people.

For the MSM that isn't going to happen as people no longer have trust in the spinning of news to suit their perverted agendas to destroy Americas traditions.

However, what has happened for McCaniac and Feinghoul is that this has opened a Pandoras box that will just about insure that they will not even make it through the primaries.

How in the world can any one on any side of the political coin trust a politician who would support such an abuse to our constitutional rights?

This is a death blow for the political chances of McCaniac and Feinghoul sealing their fate with this abuse of we the voters.

[Kieri]

Everyone that says you have to vote for McCain if he's the nominee, can kiss my backside. I will make damned sure if he is the nominee to not only NOT vote for him, I WILL ACTIVELY WORK AGAINST HIM.

AMEN.

I think a website petition needs to be started for the purposes of voicing everyone just like us -- loyal Republican conservatives who will pledge NOT to vote for McCain and will stay home on Election Day.

McCain is the candidate the PRESS wants, not the one WE want. The MSM is desperate and they're determined to push McCain because he'll give them what they want -- more things to attack conservatives with.

[trubluolyguy]

Good rule of thumb, if the media likes the pol, vote against him.

[Jim Verdolini]

"Yep. Its time to engage in MASS CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE. That's the way to gum up the works. Like I said, if they want to silence us, they're going to have to arrest people. We will NOT do their dirty work for them."

Oh for heavens sake. Do you run a major political blog? If you do not you will find yourself posting on nothing if the few score big political blogs out there ARE regulated out of business.

The real answer, aside from forcing our congress to do its job for a change, is to move the operation off shore. The internet is international and, unless the feds start choking off foreign sights, they have no jusistiction on a free press outside the country.

Political speech gets the highest level of protection of all forms of speech. There is no way that this could survive a First Amendment challenge.

Um, MeCain Feingold was alreadt upheald. So guess again.

[Robert Teesdale]

Looks like it may be time to think about feeding the hogs if this keeps up.

[ncpatriot]

Neither liberal nor conservative representatives in Congress like talk radio or the Internet.

I will march on Washington in protest of this law.

[Fruit of the Spirit]

Senators John McCain, R-Ariz., and Joe Lieberman, D-Conn.

These are NOT my representatives and they SHOULDN'T be yours! RINO McCain needs to be ousted from office.

[LoneGOPinCT]

OTOH, how nice will it be with the MSM being shut down for the same period?! ;^)

[Montfort]

"Political speech gets the highest level of protection of all forms of speech. There is no way that this could survive a First Amendment challenge."

No. That's what the founders intended, but it is not the way courts look at things today. The most sacrosanct right is the freedom of the press. The press are practically the only people who retain unfettered rights to engage in political speech after McCain-Feingold.

Basically, it is freedom of speech for members of the press. Everyone else can be regulated and muzzled by the masters.

[ConservativeMan55]

bttt

[HumanitysEdge]

I wonder when the government will decide that us forwarding political jokes and commentary about the government is a "campaign contribution", and hence illegal

[WVNan]

I think that Bush signed the CFR so as to look bipartisan, and I think that he honestly believed that it was unconstitutional and that the SC would rule it such. Surprise surprise!

[blam]

"Here in Arizona we're hoping he retires, so we can elect Don Goldwater to the senate, a true conservative who will serve the good people of Arizona (instead of serving himself)."

Hey, I could use my old bumper stickers, "I Like AuH2O," huh?

[Gordongekko909]

The definition of "the press" has been expanded significantly over the past decade. Michelle Malkin is part of "the press." So are Ann Coulter and Thomas Sowell. And technically, so are we.

[Beagle8U]

I tryed some of the other links that were listed to contact congress critters, they wont work unless you live in their district.

I did sent one to ecampaignGOP.com

I think that is the director of the GOP TeamLeader.

If that dumba$$ McCain shuts us down, I would think it would also shut them down?

[Beagle8U]

"The real answer, aside from forcing our congress to do its job for a change, is to move the operation off shore. The internet is international and, unless the feds start choking off foreign sights, they have no jusistiction on a free press outside the country."

Why would you want to run overseas rather than fight for your 1st Amendment rights here?

[mcar]

[F16Fighter]

"I have no idea how the SCOTUS could possibly say that McCain Feingold is constitutional. That decision still floors me."

So let's review who supported the subversion of the 1st Amendment regarding "free speech" via CFR:

The Congress.

The Senate.

The President.

The Supreme Court.

All three bodies are GOP dominated; 7 of 9 SC justices were coincidently nominated by Republican presidents.

To simplify things, let's just say there indeed is a New World Order at work -- aka "Globalism."

In other words the fix is in....You see this manifesting itself at an unforced Mexican border as well.

The ONLY way the NWO/Globalist agenda gets stopped is through censorship of the Internet.
