Bachmann Warns Media, Democrats 'Singing off Same Hymnal' to Achieve Fin-Reg, Internet Censorship

It's pretty obvious that oftentimes the media and the Democratic Party work in concert to marginalize opposition of a common goal. ABC's George Stephanopoulos working with White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel was just one example. The question is, how far will the media and Democrats take it?

According to Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., if the passage of ObamaCare is evidence, they're willing to take it to achieve Draconian financial regulation and ultimate censorship of the Internet. On his April 19 Fox News Channel program, host Sean Hannity asked Bachmann if there were a double standard, or a coordinated attack as the "echo chamber" of the Democratic Party, including the media, seem to "singing from the same hymnal." And according to Bachmann, the attacks on former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and conservative talkers Glenn Beck and Rush Limbaugh over the weekend for so-called sedition were the latest evidence.

"Well, they are," Bachmann said. "If you look at all of the news shows over this last weekend, they used practically the identical language. They are talking about a war of words. They specifically identified Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin and they were, as you said, they're singing off the same hymnal. But essentially it is whoever they see as an effective voice, that's who they go after and attack right now."

Wish we had another dozen like her.

Obama and his fellow authoritarians must be stopped.

Call me crazy, and slightly paranoid - but every week - there’s a different liberal “buzz word”. A few weeks ago it was “vitriol”... then “violence” “McVeigh” etc...

Maybe they send out a weekly mass email to the folks lined up for interviews.

This week, we will marginalize with the word “Ruby Ridge”...
Stay tuned for next weeks word!

I love Michelle B. Would like to see her as part of the 2012 run for the White House.

Limbaugh has been blowing the whistle on them for years by playing 57 clips on Monday from all of them using the exact same wording on all the Sunday shows. And yet they never seem to comprehend the fact that we are on to them. Too funny!

I don’t think she understands that net neutrality is what we have now, more or less. I am for preserving it. Getting rid of it would allow your service provider to discriminate against some web content.

When Libs say “Free Speech”, they don’t mean for you.
