Democrats STILL hate Free Speech

For a group of people who howl like spoiled three year olds about how they want "Free Speech", the Democrats prove time and time again that what they really want is free speech only for them, and not for anyone else. A commenter named Pebble left this little link in the comments of the post below this one.

Democrats on Wednesday managed to defeat a bill aimed at amending U.S. election laws to immunize bloggers from hundreds of pages of federal regulations.

In an acrimonious debate that broke largely along party lines, more than three-quarters of congressional Democrats voted to oppose the reform bill, which had enjoyed wide support from online activists and Web commentators worried about having to comply with a tangled skein of rules.

The vote tally in the House of Representatives, 225 to 182, was not enough to send the Online Freedom of Speech Act to the Senate. Under the rules that House leaders adopted to accelerate the process, a two-thirds supermajority was required.

So, just to recap:

The Democrats, bought and paid for by George Soros and MoveOn.org (and that's not a random snark, those are MoveOn.never's words), who used Professional Tool Markos Zuniga's blog for all it was worth, who use 527 groups like they're going out of style, refuse to acknowledge the fact that bloggers are citizens who's right to free speech should never be infringed upon.

The same people who want to give Constitutional Rights to foreign terrorists don't want US citizens to have free speech. The Left's hatred of the Constitution comes through loud and clear.

Rep. Marty Meehan, a Massachusetts Democrat who opposed the bill, said during the floor debate: "We don't allow child pornography on the Internet. We don't exempt it from consumer safety laws...We don't because we think those laws are important." Campaign finance regulations should be extended as well, he said.

Ah, well, that explains it! Free speech is like Kiddie Porn to Democrats!

But that doesn't make much sense, considering how much they used Scott Ritter in the 2004 election. You know, Scott Ritter, who was busted trying to get jiggy with a fourteen-year old girl. Yep, nothing quite says "We don't like child pornography" like making a celebrated hero out of a pedophile for political gain. But then, nothing that the Democrats do makes any sense, until you put it into this context:

The Democrats will do anything and say anything, no matter how foul and repulsive, in order to get their hands on power of any kind. Including shitting all over the First Amendment rights of Americans on the internet.

Rep. Lloyd Doggett, a Texas Democrat, said that if the bill were approved, the public would have "no idea whether Internet campaign ads are being financed by secret soft money." Soft money is a general term referring to funds not regulated by election laws.

You mean like the millions of dollars funneled by MoveOn.org into the Democrat party, Representative? THAT soft money?

Gah. Just remember this when the Democrats whine and cry about people's rights. The Democrats don't care about your rights, and they never will.

They just want power.
