In the eyes of our political class, there is no right to privacy, unless you want to kill an in-utero baby or if your grade schooler wants birth control pills.

All users posting to websites would have to post their real name and address, non-compliant posts would be axed What a joke!
I would have to use EGPWS everywhere I interact on the Internet.
Personal freedom and personal rights are disappearing fast.

Good grief. No one should fear anything online. This isn’t grade school and there aren’t even sticks and stones. It’s printed. You don’t like it, don’t read it. Someone puts something on your facebook that hurts your widdle feelers then unfriend them and get off that stupid site. Someone emails you, block their address and delete it. How simple is that? But noooo, we have to have a Bill!!!! Some little minority of ridiculously stoooopid sheeple mess the internet up for the rest of us.

It was introduced just over two months ago by Sen. Thomas F. O'Mara (R—Big Flats). Wonder if he's friends with Dede Scozzafava

How is
a state gonna enforce this?
Only on web sites hosted in NYS? And how will it know who those are?
Do not the NYS idiots know how easy it is to move a web site?

Someone needs to remind this ignorant fool that the Federalist Papers were published anonymously.

Instead of this idea, why not focus on voter ID?
Oh, well, silly to bring it up I guess...

So...voter i.d. laws are unconstitutional, but you will have to prove who you are on an anonymous site on the internet to simply post an opinion?
Makes perfect sense to me.

This is about attacks like Joe the Plumber received.
Its about attacking even those who give to any campaign other than Obama’s
This is about harrassment, and attacking anyone who doesn’t enjoy the Kool-aid.
