Rep. Mike Rogers Dismisses CISPA Opponents "14 Year Old Tweeter On the Internet"

Posted by samzenpus on from the foot-in-mouth dept.

gale the simple writes "Mike Rodgers made a minor splash Tuesday when he decided to liken CISPA opponents to 14-year-old basement dwellers. The EFF, naturally, picked up on this generalization and asked everyone to let the representative know that it is not just the 14-year-olds that care about privacy."

    You have just funded your opposition, and if I didn't consider it a near-certainty that you were in a contrived electoral district that would re-elect you for anything short of being caught with a dead 14 year old in your bed, that would spell your doom.

    As it stands, there's always some hope.
