Republican Friends: Did you know there's a Senate bill which'd give Obama ';emergency control of the Internet';?

Here's the story:

It's like some sort of dystopian nightmare! We can't allow state control of the internet! Don't you agree?Republican Friends: Did you know there's a Senate bill which'd give Obama ';emergency control of the Internet';?
Sounds like someone is taking a lesson from Iran and China.





I hope to wake up from this nightmare someday!Republican Friends: Did you know there's a Senate bill which'd give Obama ';emergency control of the Internet';?
Why would the President need emergency control of the internet?





other than a story to stir up right-wing frenzy, what purpose does this actually serve but entertainment?





But I would assume, if a terrorist was plotting to bomb something and the CIA was watching him on the internet that sensible people would want the government to be able to pull the plug on his communications yes?
So far I have heard of ';Obama wants to control the internet'; based on a Bill introduced by Republicans. The lies are just too brazen to be trusted.


About the Internet LIE.


There are Republicans behind that idea. No way and no how is Obama involved. No where did article link say that Obama wants this, and he has much to do. I doubt this bill would be passed by Congress. It has to be passed first where he could veto it.


As for Bush:


HR 8791 and Rex84 took away our Human Rights.

Is it a surprise that it is Republicans who introduced this bill?


';When Rockefeller, the chairman of the Senate Commerce committee, and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) introduced the original bill in April';





Just another Republican plot to control the Main Street Americans with fear.





Obama supports Net nutrality against the big communication companies who want to control.

I think its strange that the same people who are okay with torture and law breaking by the CIA in the name of ';national security'; are now claiming to be concerned about this cybersecurity'; bill.








Either you're all about ';national security or your not. Also, its amusing to see the Right whine about a lack of checks and balances - they didn't have a problem when the GOP controlled both houses and the oval office for SIX YEARS.
So, if the North Koreans were to gain control of your local power generating station through the internet, you are fine with allowing it to happen.





If Russia were to hack into Wall Street computers, you'd be fine with your 401K being at the mercy of a trojan horse.





Scream from protection but leave yourself vulnerable.
And now listen all of the Obama supporters holler about the Patriot Act. The difference was that, in my opinion, George Bush, who was without fault, wanted to safe guard the United States. Obama and his group wants to fundamentally change our country. And this change is not for the better. George Bush, regardless of his mistakes, was a honest man. I wish I could say that I have the same feeling about Obama, but I do not.
welfare of humanity Is always the alibi of tyrants- Albert Camus





You need the government to protect you from the big bad insurance companies. You need the government to protect you from internet threats...





Who is going to protect us from the government?
Scary isn't it? But not at all surprising considering the number of avowed communists that Obama has placed in ';Czar'; positions.





What is really telling is the sheeple here that see nothing wrong with it.
if this is so-





what can internet users do?


the internet is the only source of real news





The regular media is already firmly in the pocket of the politicians





wow
where were you and your Republican friends when Bush gave himself control of the entire country in the event of an emergency via a Presidential Directive........





sounds like your question is just more hypocrisy from the right...
yes, obama is a scary person. i think he is trying to take control of everything like a dictator. if he cuts us off from communicating with each other we are sunk.
Yes, I heard it, and to the anti-Fox News Obamaites, here's another source:

HE wants to regulate EVERYTHING. There's a HUGE problem going on here and the liberals can't see through. What a joke...This guy will be screening everything soon if the people don't vote these idiots out of office.
This can't be America, is it?


This is no longer my country of birth, it's some bizarre out of control dictatorship.


Wake up people!
I do find it interesting that the Right are suddenly worried about bills that have been kicking around for years....





The Fox spin is BS as usual.
I totally agree! Start flooding your Senators email demanding a stop to it!!! I already did!
WoW !





a new one!





Even better than the ';secret muslim'; thing..





I was getting a little tired of the ';death panels'; and ';communist take-over'; thing too...





thanks !
Even if that was passed, I believe it is 99% impossible to regulate the internet.
Control communication and you will control the people....it's some old Communist saying!
The government always had control of the central servers. Knowledge is a good thing you know.
dont be stupid to the person above. iraq and china control there internet. to protect
We are tryly in a bad way. God help us. He is setting us up for a hostile takeover.
I agree. Get the f off my email Obama.lol





((((Samian))))
When the Democrats voted in the majority in Congress, they


made a big mistake....no checks and balances. Obama took


that as this Nation wants him to be all powerful and change


everything that ever was in America. I hear he wants a full


Military inside the U.S. (why?) and funding for this is the same


huge bucks as our military outside the U.S. I also hear we have


very large prisoner camps scattered around the country (who


might they be for?) Better keep the guns handy and watch


your front and back doors. To answer your question, ';no, I


didn't know about the Internet take-over, but by now I'm not


surprised';. Who will step up to the plate and impeach him


before he finishes his job here?
He's trying to extend tighter controls over the internet that already exist. Ever since the Internet was nothing but bulletin boards and run by .edu servers there has always been 1 central hub server in the mix, and it's located in McLean Va. Look up what's in McLean sometime.
Yes, it just shows the slow move of control to the federal government towards socialism. It is completely ridiculous. If the USA's founder's were alive today they would be doing everything they could to get government out of our lives (internet, HEALTH CARE, etc.)
In light of the rise of ID theft over the last few years and other forms of cyber attacks, policing the internet seems particularly important at this time.
Dude, you lost me at fox news, next. NO ONE CAN TAKE CONTROL OF OUR INTERNET, GET A GRIP.


I am Socrates,


YOUR TEACHER
Not surprised.





I laugh at the Obots that say Obama will increase freedom and stop intrusion.


What a joke.
Yep
