  • Message to the "chilling effect" crowd, i.e., the press.

    You crowed how restricting gun rights does not restrict anyone's gun rights.

    You crowed how restricting freedom of speech in campaign finance reform does not restrict anyone's freedom of speech. Besides, we don't have the right to yell "fire" in a crowded theater (never mind that that is not a speech issue, but one of property rights, but that is a separate debate).

    You crowed how restricting peoples' property rights with wetlands, beach access, view regulations and restrictions on development does not really encroach on anyone's property rights (you still OWN the property ...).

    When we said that the bigger problem with all of the above and other examples like that are really a problem of precedent, you called us extremists or paranoid.

    Well, how're you feeling about this? After all, no one is restricting your freedom of speech! It's all about ensuring a proper level of responsibility! You can still write anything you want, it's just that someone in gov't will have to approve it to ensure ... you know ... that no one ... you know ... is offended. Yeah, that's it. We don't want to offend anyone, right?

    Just remember:

    WE EFFIN' TOLD YOU SO!

  • Well if this clown wasn't a stupid lying assed politician the media wouldn't have any reason to be licensed.

  • Didn't the Bolsheviks do this too. It was called Pravda and all stories went thru the Politburo.

    This so called Republican is nothing but a fraud and communist. Here's an idea for this guy. How about a license for politicians? That way the license can be revoked when they say or do stupid shit like this. No need for an election. Just a license review board. Any one want to bet he screams about the US Constitution and all of the rights it grants then? He's nothing but another political pig and the trough.

  • Someone needs to tell the press that "freedom of the press" only applies to an actual hand-crank-operated printing press, not to TV, radio or internet.

    I mean, if the 2nd Amendment only applies to muskets...

  • Looks like "Mr. Champion" got wacked in a blog and his feelings are hurt....Poor baby....Time to change your political party to Demotard and then you'll have a whole bunch of retards you can commiserate with.

  • I'm ambivalent about anything that threatens press and media "freedom" when it's evident that they've already been co-opted by activist left wing interests.
