This shows how moronic the GOP leadership is.

This bill, pushed at the behest of Hollywood, does nothing for the GOP. The truth is that the publishers, movie moguls, studios, etc - they’re not about to start treating Republicans better in the press or movies.

So why is the GOP carrying water for these clowns? Unexplained. Why is the GOP willing to engender the fury of the conservative base when this results in the shut-down of various conservative web sites that have enabled any measure of conservative/Republican electoral success? Because the GOP leadership is packed to the rafters with morons and retards, that’s why.

That's what I never get. This asymmetrical warfare where everyone dumps on conservatives, yet conservatives think political reality or principle dictate that they treat these same people nice. I say bust into their house at 3:00AM and come back out with one of their kidneys. You can't win if you don't fight back.

Beg to differ on that one. Establishment GOP hates grass roots conservatives, so they have as much to gain from shutting down dissent as the [other] socialists to. They think that if they can remove the communication medium, they'd be able to claim conservatism and most (the politically uninvolved) wouldn't notice they were lying. I doubt it, but maybe they're right.
