Damned Democunts

[Brian37]

I certainly could have guessed that you're a cracker, despite that not being a racist slur. The "o'tay" is used to express an over exuberant agreement in a sarcastic manner, it has nothing to do with race.

Secondly you start a hot anti-democrat thread claiming that a FEC proposal is horrible, but when shown it makes perfect sense, you fall back to "we don't know, it hasn't be formally written yet!" (and you call me hypocritical!)

As for nobody knowing what is in it until it passes, that is really, really, really stupid. That is one of the most stupid things I have ever read on this board by anyone, and we've had some brain addled doosies on here.

It's called reading. Despite the claims from embarrassed senators, everyone has the opportunity to read the proposals before voting on them. Always. Every time. Always.

The difference between Min's threads and yours is not POV, it's substance.

Any proposal to regulate political speech on the internet is horrible.

Ok, so then you are ok with Saudi Arabia using government to outlaw atheists expressing their position that no god exists? That is political speech.

You are a fucking idiot thinking a utopia of no rules ever is a possibility. Just as fucking stupid when Che supporters think you can get rid of the private sector.

If your political speech is lying or misleading voters it goes beyond mere dissent. Mudslinging is not the issue. Our politics has been full of that since the founders.

If a politician wanted to promote going back to slavery you'd be fine with that?

There is no such thing as absolute free speech, just like you cannot shout fire in a movie theater. Just like you cannot say "Go kill my neighbor". With all rights come responsibility.

Political speech has to be regulated as well, no different than it would be absurd to have roads and no stop signs. Citizens United however, has unfortunately created a climate where those stop signs and street lights are needed but are being removed in order to create a bigger plutocracy.

You are stupidly allowing a growing plutocracy and the internet will be worse off with stupid attitudes like yours.
