Bell Curve The Law Talking Guy Raised by Republicans U.S. West
Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son."

HR 1606

The Online Freedom of Speech Act is up for passage again, and it does look like a good bill (though I'd like to have LTG's opinion of it). In fact, Kos of Daily Kos and Krempasky of RedState have teamed up to support it.

Now, are you ready for something fun? Go check out the comments to the shared post on both of these sites: the one at Daily Kos, and the one at RedState (I can't seem to link directly to the comments there). Boy, are these people uncomfortable about working with each other or what? And in some cases ... it's worse than just being uncomfortable.

Things like this make me think bipartisanship is just a pipe dream. Am I wrong?

I just did a quick glance at the two blogs but it seemed to me that the distribution of vitriol was very lopsided with the Red Staters being very nasty and the Daily Kos people cheering for bi-partisanship and unity. Can't say I'm surprised that Republicans would spew hate in a paranoid defense of their hate and fear based ideology.

I applaud the idea, although it does raise questions. They don't mean to exempt internet fundraising from fundraising laws, right? It's not meant to override anti-spam laws, right? I hope these issues are worked out by, at least, its placement in the code.

Also, a good "whereas" or "purpose" clause is always useful to sort these things out.

A Redstater wrote of Dailykos:
"Unfortunately for that site, it is chock full of ignorant, anti-American, socialist, new age, relativist, moralless lunatics. It is sad, but the American Left is a wide array of different brands of collectivist, anti-rational thought fanatics."

Who's the lunatic? Who's ignorant? Who's anti-rational? Who's a fanatic? Gee.

I'm fanatically pro-rational! That's why I'm a Democrat! The Republicans are the ultimate post-modern (or pre-modern?) party!
