#1 Start with the Nigerian Spammers, Take down "Scareware" Companies and Clean the internet of Viruses and I'm all for it.

But what I expect is another form of "Nannyism" and expense added on to "Clean the web"
In other words a money theft bullshit program that does nothing and drains our wallets doing it.(For the Children, of course.)

#3 "they perceive to be limiting free speech or limiting opinion."

i.e. winning the argument.

#5 We really need a side-by-each photo of Mr. Waxman and the Lon Chaney Phantom of the Opera character for, y'a know, compare and contrast....

#6 Waxman and the photo certainly go well together.

#7 "Thanks to the stimulus package, we've established that broadband networks -- the Internet -- are critical, national infrastructure. We think that gives us an opening to look at what runs over that critical infrastructure."

#8 Waxman is beady eyed.
Among other defects.

#10 Seriously, does this little pocket Goebbels realize what he is doing?

The fascist left is destroygin the nation, and weasels like Waxman, from "permanent" congressional seats are leading this crap.

There is no way to get people like Waxman out of office short of lynching or assassinating them.

Term limits NOW!

#14 God these people are scary.

"...but we also want to makes sure those alternative views are read, heard and seen online, ..."

Now they want to force their propaganda down our throats. 2+2 = 5 and if you don't say it you'll be led to the ovens.

I'm starting to think that it's getting close to the time of "pitch forks & torches".

Sic Semper Tyrannis!

#18 Maybe Waxman sees this as his golden opportunity to score with liberal hippie chicks?
God knows, it won't happen cuz of his looks because...damn.

#19 Nazi Reichsmarschall Hermann Göring, declared, "If the Führer wants it, two and two makes five!"

Waxman and company are headed down the same path, thanks to Soro's money and the electorate's gullability.

#24 You can lead a Rantburger to Daily Kos but you can't make him read it. That's because the Kos Kiddies are full of shit.

#25 Waxman family reunion at the ballgame. (Henry now you can remove the phoney nose.)

Some people are bastards as a result of the marital status of their parents at the time of birth, Henry is a self made man.

#26 The internet is media. It is critical to the success of almost any media component moving forward. That includes movies and TV shows. So this little putz is going to regulate/piss in the very pool that elects him term after term...Beverly Hills. What a jackass. But it is another indication that these idiots are going to overreach. They already are on the economy. They are going to do it on the lifestyle/political correctness/speech stifling side too. Then there will come a huge backlash. Can't wait.

#27 I can only hope the backlash involves tar and feathers. Or rope and a tree in some instances like Mr Waxman.
