Retroactive Telco Immunity Opponents Buying TV Ad

I Don't Believe in Imaginary Property writes "Whether they're mad at the Republicans for creating the mess, the Democrats for caving in, or both, many are still pissed off over the grant of retroactive immunity for spying on American citizens for no reason. And now some of them are trying to do something about it — they're buying an advertisement on cable TV. While it's not entirely clear what good, if any, this will do given that it's too late, at least it's cheap to participate — they're looking for $6 donations. The ideas is that, if more grass-roots groups do this kind of thing, their 'representatives' won't be able to afford to blow them off as easily."

Only the dumbshits on Slashdot would mod the
cause of the Telecom Immunity bill as off topic.

Slashdot has sunk to a new low.

This is a step down from suck.

What's the big deal?

The only folks who are going to sue are those American hating liberals that are against freedom! Those stupid freedom hating liberals are always hiding behind the Bill of Rights and always trying to undermine our fight for freedom against the Terrorists and Muslims. Why, if you're doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to worry about.

These liberals are just using this as an excuse to keep the loophole in the law so that they can accuse the Government of spying (yet another conspiracy theory!) and get rich! That's why all of the liberal leaning states are the wealthiest in the country - they sue innocent corporations! That's why the Trial Lawyers support the Liberal Democrats! They're trying to destroy our Republic, Capitalism, and the American way!

Then, they have the stupidity to try to ban our guns! They use the "Civil Liberties" as a screen but when it comes to the freedom to bare arms, do they fight for that? Nooooooo! We should put the Second Amendment in the Bill of Rights! Then those Liberals will fight for it!

Sincerely,

Average American who is educated by TV and Radio.

the freedom to bare arms

Depending on what the person looks like, I think they should have the right to bare a lot more than their arms. ;-)

Wacko-wack... I looked up "primate" in WordWeb after I posted:

Any placental mammal of the order Primates; has good eyesight and flexible hands and feet

I don't have good eyesight nor flexible hands and feet so it seems that I am not a primate. Thank goodness for that!

I'm with you on this one. I especially like the knotty pines.
