I’d say Rove can KMA, but not going to let him get that close.
I notice you don't make the same comment about the communist occupying our White House. Is that because of the anonymous Internet posts and articles suggesting that he would very much enjoy administering that kiss?
Somebody got their feelings hurt. People are thin skinned nowadays.
The Internet is a bastion of free speech as it ought to be. Any abridgement of it there will portend the curtailment of free speech everywhere.Liberals (such a misnomer but since they don’t like it, I use it), of course, are behind it.
Obama is already too close ~
These stupid Democrats should bullied by all.
They both are Republicans. Yep our party has gone off the deep end. We actually have a stupid liberal as our Republican nominee....how dumb.
Liberal sites have a lot more posters hiding behind anonymity with their over the top hyperbole than conservative sites.
Could just use the Joe Incognito or Jack Indisguise or Kimosabe or the ever popular Mr. Smith and bounce it through several anonymiser web portals.
I’ll change my online name to Rowdy N. Pistoff
And they call us fascists!
This is unconstitutional as it would tend to chill free speech.

More from the NY “tough on crime folk,” meanwhile the NYPD has been caught under-reporting crime, and subway crime is surging.
Whether or not this law passes (and it’s dumb) normal libel law would continue to obtain, and allow investigators to breach the walls of anonymity. In over ten years on FR I have not seen even the worst troll go railing on some real-life-named random John Doe or Jane Roe who isn’t a public figure — as would happen in “cyber bullying.” But if a troll did that and wasn’t swiftly banned, I’m sure Jim Rob would have been glad to point investigators to its email address and bid them good luck.
An open letter to Dean Murray and Sen. Thomas O’Mara, shove it in dishonor of Tereza Heinz Kerry ! I am anonymous except for my handle.
Why would that make any difference? They want to know where to find you? Maybe it would help a bit - Unabomber submits update to Harvard alumni book-lists occupation as "prisoner"
THEY SHOULD BE DEFEATED IF THEY DO NOT WITHDRAW THIS DISGRACEFUL BILL. MADE AN EXAMPLE OF.
I kinda like the handle "The Shadow",The Shadow Knows;)
Good find. Thomas supported that decision. Scalia did not.
