Joe Lieberman's crusade to censor the internet

Obama is going to rubberstamp any legislation that traitor Liberman is going to introduce.

I would just like to wish Mr. Lieberman good luck in censoring every conversation and doodle. Have a prune.

The micro-intelligent senator lieberman is only showing the level of intelligence by a majority of senators and representatives in Washington

We should put Lieberman in all filters, replace it with BigBrother instead of $^@#%#$%#. Might send him the message....

WOW! Why doesn't this man call himself a republican and call it a day! How scary that he almost became a vice president! What would he have tried in that position?!

I personally think that it is o.k to ban terrorist sites such as al-quida, KKK, Black Panthers and etc. because they are purposely designed to harm others. Though it is not right to ban any site that he feels is inappropriate.

I have been reading this list of responses all the way down. This issue is a hot topic. Can't stand that any one would even suggest sensor the internet. I keep thinking that I will be moving to Sweden very soon if this keeps up. but thats the problem the smart ones just leave and the well... not so smart ones stay.
Can we get this to change?

cencorship is not the american way. we are supposed to have free speech. oh yeah we do have free speech, just as long as you dont say this or this or...

Joe Lieberman is a shanda.

I am torn...censorship, no way. Segementation, yeah...probably.

Those with children know how dicey a poorly crafted web search can yield results that are not so good for a 9 year old's research project.

Simple solution....we already have it in place on the WWW.

we have .com, .org, .gov etc...

These provide a segmentation and can very easily be filtered at the ISP level. HEY, IMAGINE THAT, ISPS PROVIDING A SERVICE!? All adult related sites just get their own .xxx or whatever. I have the choice to filter at the router level....(no .xxx to my account, please)

Apparently, that idea is not new, but there were enough governing folk (porn-addicted politicians, or bankrolling on popups and click-thrus) to waylay that segmentation.

That's just sad.

Senator Joe Lieberman of Connecticut is dangerous to the Bill of Rights & US Constitution.

Article 18 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
"Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; this right includes the freedom to change his religion or belief, and freedom, either alone or in community with others and in public or private, to manifest his religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship and observance."

Its okay.This asshole will be dead soon.Alas,there will always be another to take up his misguided cause.

Lieberman is a threat to the United States of America!

Connecticut - dump that guy! Just anybody would be better.

Using fear to censor ideas you don't agree with? Sounds American to me (note: sarcasm)

And this guy was Gore's running mate! If you are in Washington too long you end up crispy. We have enough to do sifting through the bullshit on the Internet that we shouldn't have some bad filtering as well from Uncle Sam.

theres no way that EVERYBODY can be censored from material on the internet with all the advances in encryption and proxy deterrents. theres plenty of people who could just create a black market for software to get around it... or everyone would just go to another country!

Does remind me a lot of Joseph McCarthy and we all know how that went.

ah it feels so good to be free. god bless america

i laugh at anyone that says we live in a free country, we have more laws than any one person could remember.

I still say he needs to be recalled. Someone in Connecticut needs to begin the recall effort. I doubt that money would be a problem. I'd dig some up for that project. We need rid of the of people like him. In fact we should start a committee to recall a bunch of them that aren't up for replacement in this election. Don't we have a lawyer somewhere to advise us how to start?

they are afraid becuase of all the numerous videos of them lying, "mis-speaking", and them bieng exposed and rightfully so. They are the terrorists! remember the yellow, dark yellow, orange, red threat levels? thats terrorism! creating fear thats not there in order to create conformity. Fuck Lieberman and the rest!!!
Freedom is never limited and we shall keep fighting for whats right and humane and just.
Peace

Knock Knock. Who is it? It's terrorist groups and we've come to bring you information, free of charge. Do you accept this package? "Nope, in fact I want to block all future deliveries!"

What is he thinking?

It's not threatening the "American way of life"; free speech strengthens it.

I wouldn't be surprised if they aren't already doing it - that's why I use only happy, patriotic words in my emails. I add a "God Bless America" at the end, just to feel safer.

Secrecy is the beginning of Tyranny.

So, is it possible that Lieberman was the GOP's inside man in the 2000 election? What better way for the Republicans to know what was going on in the Gore camp.

Don't censor the internet, organize it

Joe Lieberman is off his fuckin' rocker if he thinks the internet will be censored. That would be like opening up Pandora's box. He does NOT want to go there!

When is the government going to quit McCarthyism for good and stop attempting censorship en masse?

""Mr. Lieberman, issued a report titled “Violent Islamist Extremism, the Internet, and the Homegrown Terrorist Threat.” The report identified the Internet as “one of the primary drivers” of the terrorist threat to the United States."

TRANSLATION: This free speech crap is getting out of hand and is beginning to threaten the careers of guys like me who enjoy things the way they are. So we have to make Americans believe that their way of life is threatened by the internet so they'll ask us to crack down on it.

What a bunch of happy horse shit. If I were to take a survey and ask " What encourages/enables terrorists to attack America 1) the internet or 2) the Bush/Cheney cabal? , I don't suspect the internet would come in first place. Fact is the US government gets freaked out when there is an exchange of ideas and information that has the effect of exposing them for the corporate fascists they really are. Libermann should retire, he's a has been.

Marilynn, so true, Lieberman is a dangerous man with his Zionist agenda.

Joe is just filling in the gap. Between outright control or political pc pressure (crying anti-semitism), the zionists are controlling print media, radio, and television. The internet has been more difficult. It is the last bastion and must be preserved.

Leiberman is the only terrorist around here.

Censorship IS terrorism, if you think of terrorism as "threatening the American way of life" which Leiberman does...

The internet creates "terrorism" in the same way that the internet allows people to collaboratively share information. The sharing of knowledge can't be stopped for the specific reason of people agreeing with each other and sharing thoughts.

they have used terrorism over and over again to justify their raping of the civil liberties given to us by our constitution. this is no surprise they would point to terrorism again when they come to censor the internet. i always knew it was only a matter of time before the internet saw heavy censorship. the powers that be see the free speech it enables as a major threat to their power

Hey why not start burning books too Mr. Lieberman.
The internet contains more information than you would get out of a life without the internet.

The world was censored once and that time was called the Dark Ages. Look at China, they censor the internet and they've how many deadly outbreaks in the past ten years (of course that may be due to the 1,321,851,888: july 2007, over there)

Is that what you want Mr. Lieberman. congrats you just condemed our country to plague and pestilence. Good one! Note: sarcasm

right out of Orwell's 1984...after they censor they can CONTINUE to put out "informational" news clips created by the government to sell their agendas...

Lieberman and his kind are the real threat to the "American Way".

Just an aside....my friend recently traveled through the area of south America known as the Bolivarian states...Venezuela, Equadaor...they said the nationalistic fervor and politics were strikingly similar to the tone in the US...I believe that Chavez and Bush have the same agenda, but they are now in competition for the resources to reach their goal...world domination of finite resources and perpetual power...Lieberman is Bush's mouthpiece...

Connecticut, Needs to recall him. They can't wait for the next election. He promised to vote with the Democrats, didn't keep that promise. Has his head so far up Republican ass he should be have a toilet paper bib. He is dangerous.

"Sometimes the best way to vote is to vote against the one you hate the most."

Well put Jubal.

At this point I don't even think it is a neocon agenda. The neocon vs level minded folks conflict is just another dialectic they thought up to engage us, critical minds, in phony and misleading struggles; diverting us from the real truth. Our country has been stolen from us by powerful interests who have no intention of allowing a free republic that rules from the bottom up. They must control both sides of the equation.

Both political parties are bought and paid for by the corporate elite. Sometimes the best way to vote is to vote against the one you hate the most.

He doesn't understand the internet because technology has surpassed him light years.

His use of the word "homegrown terrorist" only means any opposition to the military/industrial complex.

If someone takes the internet away, i can bet there will be 40.000 people marches in Washington.

Joseph McCarthy anyone?

How can you even define terrorism and terrorist anymore?? You can't , things are so misconstrude that they TRY to lead us to believe that even stay at home moms are members of a terrorist cell that uses vacuums to suck the life out of carpets!

Looks like Lieberman's been spending quiet some time in the People's Republic of China...

The way Senator Joe Lieberman thinks is dangerous. I think someone should censor what he says to prevent him from sounding like a crazy person.

I still think Al would have won in 2000 with a different VP. I knew it was a mistake then.

^^^ Holy paragraph Batman.

The fact is that Joe Lieberman, like so many other Congressmen, has his hands so far into the Media Lobby's pockets he can feel their (deleted). His war chest is vastly deep and he'll be on The Hill for a long time. The media industry has been suckering the consumer, robbing the artist, stealing songs and disregarding copyrights almost from the beginning. Go to places like New York, Nashville, Los Angeles, Austin, Miami or Chicago and see the media poverty with tall buildings midcity, special enclaves for artists, l Persian Armies of lawyers, accountants, scouts and distributors. Gold chains, limos, Ferraris, Jaguars, Hum-Vs, Mercedes and BMWs by the highway load. Airports exclusively for private executive grade jets, limos, limos and parties almost nonstop. they lied to us about artists, about the inexpensiveness and durability of CDs, about their profit statements, about connections with organized crime, about their rampant drug, crime and alcohol problems, violence, rape and abuse of females, the killings between competing rappers, exhorbitant ticket prices to artists' concerts ($100 and up to thousands), total disregard for any decency (I don't think deficating onstage is very decent). Look, please, at their profit/loss statements and expense reports from their returns and you will see they are still behaving the same way by crying wolf and even 'Poverty'. They have always wanted all the privileges and now may even be able to block a composer, arranger, writer, artist or performer from copyrighting his or her work. Just a few years ago copyrights cost $20. I have now heard $100 or more. I do think permissions must be obtained for 'ripping' soundbits and using them in a work that will be copyrighted so that both can have ownership. I loved Napster our little song trade club down in Plymouth. Ready availability, no fees, no sales allowed, no download number restrictions- and that little site generated millions of sales for the record companies. I shouldn't need to tell anymore. Most you already know. Disgusting!

Apparently the US is now like a corporation wherein another corporation, we will call this corporation "China," purchases large shares, which we will call debt, and receives a say in how the company is run. The next thing you know the US will mandate one child per family for citizens.

i love political cartoons! lmfao!....I think this is a good illistration to show what's going on right now, everywhere!

Too many broad laws are created so that government can have their own way. Free Speech is being crucified. America is on repeat for what it ran away from to become the United States. Historical reruns are not nearly as fun as their distant cousin; the TV rerun.

Let us tell him to wake up and smell the coffee.

You want to see terrorists? Just go down the Street and watch the Rolling Thunders go by harassing everyone with their motorcycles, Cars with modified mufflers, our actual Transportation System, Aircraft flying too low in residential areas. Pollution, Pollution, Pollution! ...the real terrorists are inside of some parts our Government!

Needless to say, I really thank GOD everyday because I am a polite person and I am refraining myself to tell where he really should go!

The case for terrorists and the terrorist threat is soooooo incredibly overblown to benefit the neo-con agenda. Plain and simple.

We face a real threat of much greater magnitude from the Ripusofficans, the Busheney gang and co-conspirators - than any terrorist.

"Terrorism" is the Republican excuse for everything. Every human rights offense under Bush has been given the excuse of "terrorism." It's the Reichstag Fire Decree all over again.

that's a shame,the internet is a place where people can voice there opinion's and Do it,freely and now some out of touch congressmen is trying to take away our freedom of expression,Who Hire's these people...

let's not make this a race/faith issue. This is about a politician trying to take away liberties. Have respect and don't lump people into larger issues unless you have facts to back it up. It's important not to exaggerate, or we could lose our credibility

My eyes are aiming for Switzerland....

Ya, Joey lost the primary to an anti-war Democrat in Connecticut, then declared himself "independent", and actually and unfortunately beat out the REAL Democrat. Now he is seen around with McCaine. Liberman is a traitor, paranoid old moron, and was put there by dumb ass old Connecticut yuppies, and obviously the "jewish/Israeli" cock voting block. If that makes sense, lol.

Just ANOTHER politician SPITTING on the constitution because they don't like something, can't legislate taste asshole!

Makes me want to sniff glue!

Lieberman can go to hell.

That hypocritical, idiotic, fear-mongering bastard gets off the hook too easily for how full of shit he is.

They are just afraid because people (like us) can protest online, and make a difference.

When Bush enforces NSPD 51 & HSPD 20, then you can worry about the fate of the Internet. Until then, Joe McCarthy, ahhhh, I mean Joe Lieberman is just living up to his hypocritically acclaimed status. Independent my ass.

LIEberman posed as a democrat to steal the seat as Senator of CT.

"terror" is what they're always trying to push down our throats

The worst part is their charade like they effing care about terrorism, which is BS--this is SO planned and calcuated. These bastards have psychologists and sociologists working for them telling them what kind of trigger words set people off and garner the sort of mindless knee-jerk patriotism they need to manipulate the masses. They are marketing fear.

1st Amendment. You might disagree but that is your right from the same law that lets me say it. The Internet doesn't make Terrorists, Terrorists make Terrorists.

Fuck you Lieberman,you're not going to touch my internets. Is it just me or is America turning into a fascist empire or what?

Lieberman from Tel Aviv is right. Another paranoid Jew. Send him to China for sure. This man is an idiot. These Jews are doing the same thing the Nazi's did to them. it must be a revenge trip. Lieberman is just nuts, carzy, insane etc.

How can you even define terrorism and terrorist anymore?? It's become so misconstrued to fit the right-wing agenda.

Why not advocate for a recall against him?

Terrorism is the buzz word of the 21st.
Just like Communist, witch, leper and so on.
Just be good to your neighbor and it will
pass just as before.

Lieberman is a consumate career politician, willing to sell sell his soul a million times over to move up the power ranks. I have no respect for him or his actions.

Joe L has become one of the Neocons , he is a disgrace to his race, he is trying to do the same thing here that the Nazi's did in Germany, control a free exchange of infomation. He is part of the Fascist State the Neocons are trying to establish here in America. It's a shame to see a Jew trying to do to America what the Nazis did in Germany.

Ban Lierberman from the internet, if he thinks kind of trout.

I'm really getting tired of this us and them mentality. Reading about students getting arrested and detained for using the Al-Qaeda training manual when researching terrorist tactics for school. Now we have senators talking about the internet spreading terrorism to whom... children? This whole terrorist business is so painfully close to the red-scare it's almost ridiculous. These politicians are making terrorists of us all.

"There is no us and them"
-Gogol Bordello

things like this are a slippery slope that i don't want to find myself at the end of.
the homegrown terrorism act is super scary. it gives power to arrest anyone using force or protest for pursuing political ideals. such legislation is worded so broadly as to include anything THEY want.

i cant wait to vote for the "bi-partisan" McCain Lieberman ticket......

Don't pay him any attention and he'll go away.

VoyagerFilms, ha ha! I really wouldn't know where to start. Butcher his Wikipedia page or his website? Rick roll him somehow? Anybody have any connections with that hacker group "Anonymous"? LMAO!

Force him to live in china for 10 years for a "fact-finding mission". Then see if he still believes the internet should be censored.

Now you are talking Hawkmang!!!!!!!

But how? Hmm...

I expect this from Lieberman, after all he was the one who pushed for federal ratings on video games.

Senator Lieberman who represents the "Constitution State" of Connecticut wants to limit free speech.
Such irony...

He should be tar and feathered - then prosecuted for breach of contract, failing to uphold his duties as a public servant and so forth.

He's not Senator from Connecticut, he's the Senator fromTel Aviv.

I'm trying REAL hard not to feel lucky THIS character didn't get to be vice Pres
