Comments on: For Lieberman, Only Brown Terrorists Matter

The chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee today asked Google, the parent company of the popular online video-sharing site, YouTube, to “immediately remove content produced by Islamist terrorist organizations” from YouTube and prevent similar content from reappearing. However, the company immediately refused to comply with his request.
Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) made the request in a letter to Eric Schmidt, the chairman of the board and chief executive officer at Google, in which he said that YouTube “unwittingly, permits Islamist terrorist groups to maintain an active, pervasive and amplified voice despite military setbacks or successful operations by the law enforcement and intelligence communities.”
Oh Geebus, Holy Joe is truly Orwellian. (This actually sounds like one of his recent “correspondances.” Did Lieberman define what fomenting terrorism is? I remember reading of a court case in which the judge decided that writing commie pamphlets isn’t the same as starting a revolution (Cold War era). Perhaps Holy Joe slept through that one in law school. He’s modelling his approach on what is “harmful to children” I think, and that’s very hard to define. I could be wrong.
I keep thinking back of a Moyer’s interview, where anger against the US gov.(in and around the world)is so pervasive, the Lieberliar is just putting McCarthesque fixes on a leaking drain (the Bush administration.) IMHO.

Just think! These same people are screaming at China for the same actions they support.

ALL information should be allowed. Yes, even if it is from real terrorists. After all, Bush is allowed on all sites — and his cabal is the biggest terrorist in the world.

Well, if we just had all of the hay, we’d know exactly where the Terrist needles are. They’re right there in the hay!

This from the UK:

“A massive government database holding details of every phone call, e-mail and time spent on the internet by the public is being planned as part of the fight against crime and terrorism. Internet service providers (ISPs) and telecoms companies would hand over the records to the Home Office under plans put forward by officials.”

Per T. Boone: “A turbine will generate somewhere around 20,000 [dollars] a year in royalty income. And on a 640-acre tract, you can put five to 10 of these on the tract. And you don’t have to have them if you don’t want them.” Let’s see now – a farmer could raise crops and raise income up in the air, so to speak…

Short Ride is about to get a quick lesson here. Google has a lot of stroke, financially and ’s ability to stick it’s finger in the governments eye.
Nyuck Nyuck Joey, you are playing with fire ya forkin’ moran.
