From the Noisy Room:
Unbelievable… Lieberman has no clue concerning our freedoms and the Constitution. You really think Obama would never wield this power abusively? He’s massively gullible, he’s a dangerous idiot or he’s complicit.

Senator Joe Lieberman, co-author of a bill that would give President Obama a ‘kill switch’ to shut down parts of the Internet, attempted to reassure CNN viewers yesterday that concerns about the government regulating free speech on the web were overblown, but he only stoked more alarm by citing China, a country that censors all online dissent against the state, as the model to which American should compare itself.
During an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union with Candy Crowley, Lieberman characterized concerns that his 197-page Protecting Cyberspace as a National Asset Act (PDF) legislation represents an attempt to hand Obama “absolute power” over the Internet as “total misinformation,” adding that people were “intentionally peddling misinformation”.
Lieberman again invoked “cybersecurity” as the motivation behind the bill and tried to assuage the worries of critics. “So I say to my friends on the Internet, relax. Take a look at the bill. And this is something that we need to protect our country,” said the Senator.
However, Lieberman’s choice of comparison in justifying the necessity of the bill will only serve to heighten concerns that the government is going after free speech.

This guy has lost his mind if he thinks that Mr. Obama and his power hungry administration will not do exactly that. The dems yelled to high heaven when Bush wanted the wire tapping!!!!! Double standards!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am ashamed of Joe. After what the dems did to him, and he still trusts them.
We need to consider what could have motivated this bill. My thoughts are that if Obama finds himself up against a strong opponent, we’ll see a phony ‘threat’ which gives him the ability to shut down our efforts to raise money and distribute the so-called “misinformation” this president fears.
Since when do we need the internet for “misinformation” anyway? All one has to do is pick up a newspaper or turn on the TV.
These guys are terrified; we’re not the commoners/simpletons/peons/sheep/plebs that we once were (back when we trusted that they were doing their JOBS and we didn’t have to babysit them). Their quest for holding power is very dangerous. The very people they claim to represent have become the enemy.
So much for the man who claimed in his inaugural address, “I’ll be your president, too.”
the problem the Marxists are having is this and why they want to go into a neutral population growth policy worldwde ,
