"The McCain-Feingold Act of 2002 empowers federal judges and Federal Election Commissioners to determine who is allowed to say what about political candidates in all electronic media. On Sept. 18, 2004, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ordered the FEC to extend its enforcement of McCain-Feingold to the Internet.

In the face of a massive outcry from bloggers, the FEC backed down from fully implementing Judge Kollar-Kotelly's order. However, the order stands. Sooner or later, it will be enforced."

Finished the book a couple of weeks ago.

Lots of mis-direction in this article though, it comes down to GWB (stupidly) signing the McCain-Feingold campaign finance law. Everyone thought that the supreme court would throw the law out on it's bum. Suprise!!!

from SFGate.com, Sunday, February 22, 1998:

Hillary Clinton's call for Internet "gatekeeping' reveals a lack of understanding

The Net needs "gatekeeping," said Hillary Rodham Clinton to a select group of important people and special reporters last week, demonstrating yet again the government's tendency to be wrong.
.
.
.

"We are all going to have to rethink how we deal with this," she answered, "because there are always competing values. There's no free decision that I'm aware of anywhere in life, and certainly with technology that's the case."

Although technology's new developments are "exciting," Hillary continued, "There are a number of serious issues without any kind of editing function or gatekeeping function. What does it mean to have the right to defend your reputation, or to respond to what someone says?"

===

Actually, she does "get it." She saw the potential danger of the Internet to her own political ambitions. Six years later, she saw what it did to John Kerry's candidacy. She "gets it" alright and she wants/needs it stymied before her run in '08.

What part of the First Amendment does she not get? It says...Congress shall make no law...What is becoming clear is that the Dems need to put CBS and their like back in the saddle again. Their first step is to close down, as best they can, the free speech on the internet. McCain/Finegold was their first step. The passed on it 5-4. One more Empty Souter on the Court will allow them to do almost anything.

I don't like Hillary any more than the next person around here but this article makes her sound like Superman or something. It almsost sounds like she's in control of the world. If she is so powerful, then why isn't she in the White house right now. I do believe she is evil, but they are sure making her out to be a lot smarter and powerful than she really is.

If you dig deep enough you will find Hillary's fingerprints on the plan to get Rush Limbaugh.

The '08 election is going to make the '04 election seem like a walk in the park.

The entire Clinton dity trick m.o. with a few tricks added will be in play.

There will be one major difference between the coming /08 election and that of 2004. In 2004 the Republicans were caught flatfooted by the Dems use of the 527's and fell far behind in that area. I believe the Dems actually out raised the Republicans in that election. The same mistake will not be made again. Contrary to what some may believe, the right does have the ability to learn, adapt and move their program down the road.

And what part of the 5th's takings clause didn't the Supreme's get? If you're counting on the Constitution and Bill of Rights to fight you're battles for you; those days are over, or at the very least, are on life support.

It's called biding your time. The new media was new and counters to its power and growing influence did not yet exist. It seems that that counterweight (in the form of oppressive laws) is growing.

Read Sun Tzu for an understanding.

Thank you Richard Poe. I have book marked this article, and intend to buy the book. I remember very well when Hillary went after the Internet. (conservatives on the Internet not the liberals)

If Hillary is elected every Marxist idea she has ever learned will be put into practice against the conservatives. Her husband has already stated the he hates conservative Christians - they don't mess around calling him an adulterer and a liar. Other Christians make excuses for him. (Remember Graham saying Bill is so handsome women just fall at his feet?)

We are going to be in a raging war, and it is doubtful the Right will win this one, as we are few in number. By that time, the Mexicans will be voting, and Hillary will make a big hit with them. Conservatives have lost their voting power and Hillary knows it. She is out for blood, and she'll get it.

"Read Sun Tzu for an understanding."

Being a bit of a military buff, I love Sun Tzu.

If Hillary wins the Presidency I fear it will lead to a real civil war, of conservatives against liberals. It would only take a spark, one unacceptable Executive Order, to ignite.
