Jonah Goldberg: Chuck Schumer: Moron
I'm sorry, this may be the single dumbest thing I've heard from a politician since George Pataki said that his hate crimes legislation could have prevented the Holocaust:
"The very same people who don't want the Fairness Doctrine want the FCC [Federal Communications Commission] to limit pornography on the air. I am for that... But you can't say government hands off in one area to a commercial enterprise but you are allowed to intervene in another. That's not consistent."
Really? So political speech and hardcore pornography: the founders saw no difference between these things? Or forget the founders, since Schumer and Co. usually do. Does Chuck Schumer honestly think the two are comparable? That the state has the same interest in regulating porn as it does in regulating political speech?
Censoring donkey-human porn from public airwaves is not the same as censoring criticism of someone's tax plan. My God, what is wrong with these people?
It's the totalitarian mindset. We've allowed government to grow so huge and stick their noses into so much of our lives that they think they own it all.
Actually, political speech, even now, is more regulated than porn. It seems these moron-incumbents do have their priorities straight.
What a partisan short sighted idiot!
Senator Schumer's remarks are frightening to anyone who has ever read Ayn Rand's book "Atlas Shrugged". this is just one more area where socialism is making (or hoping to) inroads on our freedoms. Once the Governmant takes control of all the media we are no longer free.
This good old boy needs to be brought to task, he is part of the problem with this country.Our problems aren't what he cares for just his way of life ...not this country and its people.
