Audio Flashback: Eric Holder advocated for internet censorship
The Washington Times-Water Cooler ^ | 8/29/09 | Kerry Picket

Recent revelations from C-Net News, showing a bill proposed by Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) giving the president emergency control of the internet, exploded on to the Dudge Report yesterday.:

The new version would allow the president to "declare a cybersecurity emergency" relating to "non-governmental" computer networks and do what's necessary to respond to the threat. Other sections of the proposal include a federal certification program for "cybersecurity professionals," and a requirement that certain computer systems and networks in the private sector be managed by people who have been awarded that license.

it is important to look back at some statements President Obama's top enforcer in his administration made back in the days of Clinton. Attorney General Eric Holder was known as Deputy Attorney General Holder in April of 1999, when the Columbine High School massacre shocked the country.(AUDIO ABOVE)

Writing on Newsbusters last November, I pointed out that the student shooters, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris learned how to construct their bombs through internet research. When Mr. Holder found out about this, he said the following on NPR in late May of 1999:

The new reality, since Jan.20th. Marxist madmen in control of The White House. There is no limit to what they will try to get away with. It’s a dangerous time for America. Never before have I feared an administration. Time for them to fear us.

So I gather Holder rationalizes that the internet ‘radicalizes’ citizens where bringing muslims to the U.S. Prison system won’t while they’re the experts at it. Ok, got it.

Obama has selected the “czar” of his new Emergency Internet Management Agency. The acronym for the new agency is ENIMA. The person chosen is a Dr. Goebbels (photo below) who described the mission statement of the organization: “To purge any crap about der furh -- er – President Obama out of the internet by any and all necessary means.” Herr Doctor reminded the interviewer that failure to comply with the rules and regulations to be administered by ENIMA will be dealt with “most harshly because ve know ver you live.”

In an effort to assure the public that Obama would use these new powers ONLY in declared cyber-emergencies, Goebbels told AP that “ve vould, fur example, haf to shut down ze internet only fur zings like a fire in ze Reischstag – er -- Capitol, ze federal invasion uf Texas or other renegade states, another uf zos sthupid Tea Parties, a march on Vashington by Jim Thompson und his band uf ruffians und zealots – you know zings uf zat sort.”

Of course those dumbasses object. They at least know that it would mean that they too could be shut down if they dare to object to der Fuehrer.

With all the missteps of Eric “The Coward” Holder, why isn’t there a call for his resignation? He even appears to be acting counter to Barry on occasion (although it may be play-acting).
