This is just a drill: Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for

Free Republic ^

[Jim Robinson]

Now hear this:

Thanks to John McCain, Free Republic will shut down tomorrow at high noon for 30 days. No non government approved electioneering messages may be transmitted over the internet for the 30 days immediately preceding a primary election.

That is all.

---

The above exercise was just a drill. But if John McCain has his way with his proposed rules for regulating political free speech on the internet, this is how we will be forced to operate in the coming election cycle and all election cycles in the future until we can get the unconstitutional McCain-Feingold act repealed.

If the thought of losing your right to express yourself online makes you mad, it is high time you let Senator John McCain know how you feel.

Well put.

Though, I fear, we are a few decades too late.

But we must do all we can do.

[blondee123]

What about DU and all the other blogs, are they getting shut down too?

This better be a JOKE!

[SteveMcKing]

Are any of you other frogs noticing that the water is getting a tad hot?

Old Marxist saying -- "The worse, the better." That is, it takes anguish to motivate people for revolution.

That explains why democrats continually try to wreck the economy and destroy the middle class through subversive cultural forces, in hopes that people will revolt against capitalism.

Well, those same communists did not anticipate that the ruination of our country could just as easily - by way of fact and truth - expose their own evil asses for judgement by the American people. As far as Hollywood, taxation, and sexual perversion go, indeed "the worse the better" ... for us.

Where have you been? The courts have ruled that document unconstitutional .

[del4hope]

Darn, I tried to ping you Lori, and I spelled your name wrong. I was so frustrated, I couldn't think.

[Mr Cobol]

Guess I'll turn in my guns tomorrow. We're whipped.

[txroadkill]

LOL those jackasses would not know what to do if we all took over their site tomorrow...it would almost be worth it.

[SlowBoat407]

You ain't seen nothing, kid. Wait until election night. LOL, every time you refresh, another page gets added.

Not if McCain has his way.

[Lurking in Kansas]

P.S. Especially in schools!!

[txhurl]

Good God this is real...?

[Quix]

Rat bastidge. He needs his RINO horn sawed off.

and inserted

[Just Lori]

LOL..... It was pretty hard to miss this one!

[gondramB]

"Because now is the time for you to either do what you preach and walk the walk, or you hide like a coward and shutdown Free Republic.

I have my own plans in fixing this nation, I hope they will not include violence, but I don't need FR to do them."


That is just completely uncalled for.

[boomop1]

Goodnight my doctors have given me 5 days to live see you on the other side.sarc

[Gabz]

Cool - 30 days...........GREAT.

That gives me plenty of time to finish getting seeds started, my berry bushes planted, my house sided and roofed........and be able to ignore the moonbats that permeate this site.

See ya April 23rd.....maybe.

[JamesP81]

Does anyone know if the McCainiphiles have a ping-list? That sorry crew needs to see this...

[nopardons]

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT??????????????????

[Just Lori]

That is just completely uncalled for.

Drivel from an idiot is all.

[Zechariah_8_13]

From http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1602097/posts :

Traditional media organizations have come out in favor of increased regulation. "It is imperative," wrote the New York Times in an editorial, "that the courageous lawmakers who supported the McCain-Feingold reform law four years ago stand together against making the Internet a cornucopia of political corruption."

Rep. Mike Conaway, R-Texas, countered, "A better argument for the New York Times would be to tell America that they really want to end political conversation on the Internet to resurrect their power over political commentary."

Read it and weep.
