Using Copyright To Suppress Political Speech
MacDork writes "As most /.'ers know all to well, Copyright is increasingly being used as a means to suppress free speech these days. And the trend has not been lost on our 2004 US Presidential candidates. Both George and John are using copyright law to 'vaporize' information considered embarrassing or harmful to their campaigns. Don't worry about basing your vote on copyright issues though. Like most other domestic issues (gay marriage: no, offshoring: yes), their stance is pretty much identical (i.e. pro Hollywood)."
Do you foam at the mouth and masturbate whenever you type something against Republicans? Get a life, loser.
No, I fondle the huge wads of money littering my desk, a mere fraction of my immense wealth, as I conjure up new ways to diss the poor old GOP. I'm so phenomenally successful, and good looking to boot, that I don't need to get a life -- life just presents itself to me, pre-wrapped and lightly perfumed, ready for me to pick and choose my delights.
Your point...?
Tubal-Cain smokes the white owl.
1 - A vote for 3rd party, is a vote for Bush
2 - Remeber Florida??
The Bush club seems to think in Black and White. Please don't do the same thing and keep saying "we got to pull out of Iraq NOW!". People like you, voting for a 3rd party, have voted Bush in last time. We have troops in Iraq because people like you voted for a 3rd party, and now you don't like it? That is not too much at stake? Just a trap? Please, learn from the mistakes of the past and try to fix them, not repeat them.
I find it comical that so many people who claim to have been against the vietnam war can then bash Bush for not being a part of it, then support Kerry who faked it and killed a teenage boy in a loin cloth while fleeing, fake not one but two injuries and recreate his swift boat missions on camera for future political use. Not only that but he and Bush are in the same Yale secret society. I mean you people are so completey fucking backwards it's laughable.
Just a show? Who's playing semantic games now?
I'm not saying that a gay man should marry a woman. I'm saying that a man can leave the homosexual lifestyle. I'm saying that you have been lied to.
Don't sell yourself short. You were not born gay. It is not who you are but a choice you made along the way. I may as well say that I was born with a desire for Pearl Jam. It's learned.
You can actually fall in love with and marry a person of the opposite sex. It has happened many times before, despite what activists will tell you. Homosexuality is not a one-way street. There is an exit.

So, NBC denies permission to use one of their video clips, and it's George Bush's fault. This guy must be a real maroon, because if I were as powerful as he supposedly is, I wouldn't even be having the farce of an election. I'd just crown myself king. After, of course, I "silenced" John Kerry out to Guantanamo, nationalized all the major networks, and jailed every liberal on slashdot.
The internal inconsistency in logic of the typical liberal regarding George Bush borders on the insane.
You should have called into Micheal Medved's talk show a few days back. He was having a therapy session for all liberals who blamed George Bush for every problem in their lives.
You can tell a great deal about the character of a man by observing those who hate him.
That's an illusion. Both Greens and Libertarians both have this misguided notion that they're actually in the majority, and would be winning house and senate seats (and even the presidency) if only people would vote their consciences.
They're not. They're not anywhere close.
Democratic Party needs food badly.
