After Columbine, Eric Holder Advocated Internet "Restrictions"

ErikTheRed writes "In an audio clip discovered by NewsBusters, then-Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder advocated federal censorship of the Internet. This was in the aftermath of the Columbine High School shootings. From the clip: 'The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate it. We tried with regard to pornography. It is gonna be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with reasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations in how people interact on the Internet, that is something that the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at.'" Holder is reported to be Barack Obama's choice for Attorney General of the United States.

NSDAP were socialists in the same way as the Chinese People's Liberation Army were advocating liberation and liberty. I.e. not at all.

If you don't know more about the NSDAP and nazism than the name, I suggest you read up a bit before opening your mouth, even as an AC.
