Senator Wants 'Terrorist' Label On Blogs
itwbennett writes "Terrorist suspect Jose Pimentel had a blog on Google-owned Blogger. And so it follows that Senator Joe Lieberman sent a letter to Google CEO Larry Page taking him to task because 'Blogger's Content Policy does not expressly ban terrorist content.' Lieberman also pointed out that YouTube does ban terrorist content and added that 'Google's inconsistent standards are adversely affecting our ability to counter violent Islamist extremism online.'"
My understanding is that, by simultaneously encouraging potentially dangerous types to brush up on their secrecy skills, and by making a transparent mockery of Enlightenment Humanism's commitment to freedom of speech and expression, a censorship system clearly weakens both those interested in clandestine attacks on us, and those who argue that our civilization is immoral, corrupt, and decadent.
I'm assuming that it all makes perfect sense, if you squint hard enough...
The Senator from Israel doesn't recognize the US Constitution.
Mel Gibson put the fear in those fuckers. I saw the documentary. They called him The Ghost.
More like the Three Stooges version of 1984.

Think before you speak! Do you REALLY want Lieberman to focus on something that's actually important?
For god's sake, THINK before you say things like that!
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
BOO!
Were you terrified?

Uh, hang on a second. We're war dialing your voice mail box now, to see what kind of dirt we can get on you. We'll have a reporter sitting outside your flat, a halfblock away, so that we can peer in on your subsversive activities, and all of those strange chicks with adam's apples going into your place.
You and your George Soros defenders need to be taken down a notch. After all, communism is right around the corner, and you're an obvious sympathizer.
