LIMBAUGH: Uh oh, you hear that? It's the internet's fault. Yeah, all this hatred on the internet, yeah. Was all that propaganda on the internet. We're going to have to do more to prevent these kinds -- Can you say the words "net neutrality"? If you can, then you might be aware of how Obama intends to take control of the internet, using this as justification, which sadly many low-information Americans and propagandized Americans themselves will applaud. But it will not be, Obama's takeover of the internet will not be to prevent these kinds of things from happening. He's got an entirely different agenda. All the Democrats do. It's total control. It's limiting access to information. It's about shutting down opposition. That's why they want control of the internet.

The Democrats want to control the internet and so limit access to information. Remember, folks, you heard it here first. The same place you heard about how Obama was a Muslim terrorist from Kenya and how he wrecked the economy simply by being elected.

Total control is what the left desires. It's the only way they can force their socialist utopia on us.

when you say stuff this foolish you look foolish...see how that works?

Indeed, thanks for demonstrating it for us. You get bonus points for irony.

It's what the NEOCONS want, not the leftists. Hillary is a NEOCON although they are usually Republicans. A little crossover for World Economic Control.

The whole net neutrality debate proves just how little both republicans and democrats understand the internet.

Limbaugh is getting so shrill, it's like he's trying to fill the void left by Glenn Beck.
No doubt, this's going to be an entertaining election season.

You're suffering from low information. Let me know when your light comes on. K?

Do you have anything to say about the topic, any thoughts on the subject?
Any? Thoughts?

In my opinion the ultra left democrats would just love to control the internet or any other media outlets content they could get their hand on, the same would apply to the ultra right.

I did. Post 2 followed 6. Which is a damn sight more in line with the topic than the gibberish you posted. :2razz:

Rush speaks directly to the voter who is among lowest common denominator. They rely on information that throws out objectivity utilizing illogical opinions and no factual information. You can throw fact after fact to debunk much of these statements but the lowest common denominator voter doesn't care, they only care about what they want to hear.

You expertly described a lot, if not most, of the socialists and other assorted leftists to a "T."

The reality is that we do not know what impact the government treating the internet as a utility
will bring.
It could be very benign, or we could be telling our grandchildren about how when we were young,
we had had the freedom to search the internet anything we wanted!

Do you agree with what Rush Limbaugh said, that net neutrality means the government wants to control the internet?

I don't know why anyone would believe the government capable of this sort of thing. The fact that they attempted to shut down the political speech of conservative groups by targeting them for harassment by the IRS and other agencies? The fact that they are trying to charge climate skeptics with crimes and sue them under RICO statutes to shut them up? The fact that they gave Mexican criminals firearms illegally trying to gin up a case for gun control? The fact that they won't release the transcript from Mateen's attack on Pulse? The fact that they stalled and obstructed investigations into Hillary's handling of classified material? The fact that the government has gotten into the business of policing social media to promote what they think is proper speech and inhibit what they don't like?

Why would any of this make us think that they are up to no good taking control of the internet?

I mean to say, get real, people.

You have it backwards. The left, techies, and aging hippies are against any change. What they are trying to prevent is price fixing and select charges on certain services such as charging more per minute for steaming videos and music.

Your opinion that you got from ultra right talk radio that has been blaring the same old BS at you for so long, you believe it.

I’m sorry you feel the need to bastardize my opinion. The only radio I listen too is NPR and the BBC. If taking the neutral stance on things is a problem, well, isn’t that your problem. One could suggest that you are ether being disingenuous or naive but wasn’t that my point with extreme and ultra swings in political elegance?

Some people are impervious to facts, as demonstrated several times on this very thread.

Much of the same could be said for Media Matters or a host of other ultra left wing media outlets. Yes, I totally agree with the low information heard but it is on both sides to be sure.
