Al Franken: ‘They're coming after the Internet’

Politico ^

[Sub-Driver]

Save the artists!

[Arkansas Toothpick]

How does he feel about taxing internet purchases?

[ClearCase_guy]

Okay people, we know the drill. We know what this means:

The Democrats are going to go after the Internet. Watch for it.

[TexasPatriot1]

Ummmmm..... What???
I was under the impression that net neutrality and the “Internet Kill Switch” came from the WH?

[Anti-Bubba182]

"..singling out Comcast."

I hope Comcast remembers!

[originalbuckeye]

Classic projection by Franken. I am sooooo embarrassed that he was able to steal that seat from Coleman. I guess that Americans really do get the Government they think they want. I am sad for those of us who don't deserve these clowns.

[Jim Scott]

Al Franken touting ‘Net Neutrality’ is a hoot. His deep concern for internet users is as phony as fat millionaire Michael Moore’s concern for ‘the middle class’. Please.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I hate to admit it, but the big moron has finally said something I might agree with. There should be just enough “neutrality” on the net to keep Comcast (or any other ISP) from putting Neflix, Vonage, or other emerging competitors out of business.

[Bernard Marx]

I was under the impression that net neutrality and the “Internet Kill Switch” came from the WH?

You're right. It should be axiomatic that anything Franken supports is the exact opposite of what's good for sane people. The Left is expert at turning plain English into Newspeak.

[Charles Martel]

So, Franken is in Texas today, hmm? I *thought* I smelled something outside this morning.

[subterfuge]

Yes, the Evil corporations want to “destroy” the Interweb, so government must take it over to save it.

Its technology’s Obamacare.

[YankeeReb]

I thought it was the angry troll and his ilk who wanted to shut the internet down with taxes and regulations. Did I miss something?

[philman_36]

Congressional joke Sen. Al Franken claimed...
Well there you have it! The facts be damned (and note that he has no facts), you only need to "claim" something for it to be true in Democrat World.

[screaminsunshine]

I always wondered how the Cubans felt. Now I know.

[tsowellfan]

Don’t be surprised if he runs against Sarah in 2016

[RetiredArmy]

I hope a large bear comes for Al some night.

[ml/nj]

This reminds me of the old Mark Twain adage:

No man's wallet is safe while Congress is in session.

Al Franken couldn’t pass a class on “basic”. The internet (and the lowest of its functions) are beyond this moron’s ability comprehend. Leave the internet to we geeks - who invented and maintain it.

He has the ideal job for someone who’s clueless in every dimension and has never produced anything useful in life.

Stay in the senate, Al, with the rest of your idiot compatriots.

[Swede Girl]

I can’t stand this creep.

[phockthis]

And you would be wrong...

Companies like Netflix are hogging the bandwidth that you would normally use therefore it costs the cable companies more money to upgrade their services.

Instead of passing those costs to Netflix [which is raking in millions] they will be forced to pass the coasts onto everyone [that means YOU pay more]...
