Louisiana Drudge Imitator Upset with FEC ruling on blogs
SPECIAL STATEMENT: FEC DECISION IS NOT A VICTORY, BUT A MORTAL BLOW TO INTERNET FREEDOM

MARCH 27, 2006

Based on the email I received, I think that many of you were deceived by the latest sham created by the Associated press. This story was forwarded to me by several people. The headline itself is a venom- infested lie, which reads " FEC Won't Regulate Internet Politics." This headline is a horrendous falsehood, as we see from the very first line of the story.

The text of the article reads that "The Federal Election Commission decided Monday that the nation's new campaign finance law will not apply to most political activity on the Internet."

That's the vicious lie of the Associated Press.

This is Chad Rogers, who is likely financed by one or another of the Right-wing jackals who funds Drudge and various other astroturfings. I think he's upset because it means ads candidates buy on websites like his have to be tracked by the SEC. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find out who's bankrolling him now as it is.

I wrote about a bit of correspondence I had with him on my (most assuredly NOT bankrolled by anybody) blog:

1. Condoning a system which chooses to control
big pharma by allowing them to kill enough people so public anger will keep them in line doesn't seem too efficient, does it?
There's a lot of nuts in the big woods.

2. It's indistinguishable from evil to me.
Here's what this guy actually wants: End all regulation. Let all the people who take untested drugs die. But the market will have decided.

And of course if he ever gets a stomachache from a pill, he'll be the first to call a lawyer about it.

3. Can anyone find the actual FCC regulation bill?
I would very much like to see it.
