FR is only one of many websites dedicated to current events, etc. — to close down speech on these sites would require shutting down the Internet.

Understood- but let’s remember Nancy Pelosi and her gang are intent on inmposing the Fairness Doctrine.

To me- it’s not even about whether or not they were able to track down a couple of freepers. It’s the idea that’s being floated out there in ways large and small that it’s time to DO SOMETHING about our liberty and freedom. Whether it’s Don Imus being a jerk or Daily Kos being, well...Daily Kos..the right to think and express is being carefully scrutinized.

It gives me chills.

Even if they're not ultimately successful because it might require the shutting down of the Internet, without early push-back to such totalitarian efforts, many good citizens' reputations could be crushed, their professional lives greatly diminished, and whatever their assets might be could be taken away, just as happened to Scooter.
