“Senator Schumer Is In Favor of Censoring The Internet”…
At least he’s being honest.
Via Slash Blog:
. . . I was calling mostly to find out why the Senator supports (and co-sponsored!) S.968, aka the PROTECT IP Act aka PIPA. Perhaps there was an argument I was missing — I know how myopic the tech world can be sometimes. [...]
The first question I asked was “why does the Senator support this legislation?”
The guy on the other end of the phone said: “well, he’s a co-sponsor so he’s not changing his position.”
He must have known why I was calling.
Asked the same question again. This time the reply I got this time was different: “Senator Schumer is in favor of censoring the internet.”
. . .whhhhhhat? Up until now, most of the statements from congresspeople have done that neat thing politicians do where they say words but don’t actually answer the question. They do the “censorship” dance very well — never say it out loud, but vote for the bill nonetheless. From what I can tell “anti-piracy” and “pro-censorship” are actually the same thing here, though politicians usually argue the former so as not to seem anti-first-amendment. No one has been brazen enough to drop the C-word without hesitation. But this dude apparently had no problem with it. I said again: “So you’re saying Senator Schumer is in favor of censoring the internet?”

Senator Schumer must be sucking on his brain stem and its between his legs
Isn’t that what Communist do? Then , no surprise.
libs who talk about the Constitution being out of date should digest one fact. those founders did see the future. that is why they included standing against all enemies “foreign and DOMESTIC” in the oath. i never thought i would live to see it, but the power grab from within is HERE.
Of course he is; all Democrats are in favor of censoring it.
The internet is decidedly Conservative. Many people get their news exclusively from it, and the largest part of that is anti-Obama, anti-Liberal.
Welcome to 1984.
Gee, a fascist wannabe liberal? Why there can’t be more than… a few million…in the U.S.
Another career politician who is the cause of all our problems, not the answer.
Liberalism and Socialism is only Communism on the installment plan.
Doesn’t he realize that Obama did much of his ‘foreign contribution’ fundraising on the internet? Has he also forgotten that the sword can cut both ways?
No shocker there. That its always the true motive behind this kinda legislation.
A anticonstitution blabbering demacRAT who deserves to be voted out of office then banished from america forever
The FCC can get the software off the shelf from the ChiComs, but what’s the big deal? Butch is already reading these comments, and many more looking for those among us who harbor impure thoughts about the Kenyan, the wookie and Eric the Red, not to mention those who despise her and the other bull dike Sibelius at HHS.
Schumer, another waste of human flesh…
Id love to have the chance to slap those ridiculous looking glasses off the end of his nose. Fucking commie bastard that he is!
he’s going for the mr. whipple look.

I fucking hate this commie bastard. where’s a lightning strike when you need one
Someone needs to put Schumer in a car with a few Iranian nuke scientists….
With apologies to Martin Niemoller:
First they shut down the Internet, and I did not complain because I did not have Internet.
Then they shut down everything but the New York Times, but I didn’t complain because I didn’t read the papers anyway.
Next they replaced Fox News with endless episodes of the Bachelor and Jersey Shore …
Then they shut my country down because they sold it out to Islamo-Marxists …
I’m in favor of Schumer acquiring some lead for that problem of his.
this a direct dhs assault on the 1st ammendment.
these communist bastards need to come out in the open more often. All of them.
not a word from Anonymous… about this
tells you exactly where Anonymous stands on this issue…
Well, it’s not like “freedom of speech” is a guarantee, right? *twiddles thumbs*
A few years ago this nit-wit was blabbering about the price of breakfast cereal ONE FLAKE WHINNING ABOUT THE PRICE OF THE OTHER FLAKES
Don’t worry Chuckie, we won’t use the internet to tell the story of how you extorted all those hedge fund managers out of MILLIONS in campaign donations for “Dear Leader” and the DNC.
Who would ever believe that you threatened them with crushing regulations if they didn’t increase their donations “significantly”.
Nawwwwww….
It was a sad day for me when UpChuck beat D’Amato ages
ago. But little did I realize that this smirking putz would
haunt NY and national politics lo, these many years. He
pushed his way to the front of the deli-line and still hogs all the
“lean” corned beef to this day. I’m waiting for him to choke
to death on his arrogance…..”metaphorically”, of course.
He’s a good communist.
Anybody ever feel like a 12 year old boy about to be grossly victimized when Schumer looks directly into the camera? Damn, he’s a creepy looking asshole!
I would like to thank Comrade Schumer for his honesty.
THERE IS A MAN NAMED CHUCKY SCHUMER,HE DIDNT HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR,A SOUR OLD RAT,WHO,S GETTING TOO FAT,AND HE LIKE TO SPREAD FALE LYING RUMMORS
They’ve breached our perimeter! Get that M-60 working before they set the books afire.
