Eric Holder: Limit First Amendment On Internet

Before he became Barack Obama’s Attorney General, Eric Holder told NPR Morning Edition on May 28, 1999 that he wishes to find a way to limit the First Amendment on the Internet:

“The court has really struck down every government effort to try to regulate it. We tried with regard to pornography. It is gonna be a difficult thing, but it seems to me that if we can come up with reasonable restrictions, reasonable regulations in how people interact on the Internet, that is something that the Supreme Court and the courts ought to favorably look at.” – Eric Holder, May 28, 1999, NPR Morning Edition

    He wants to start a flame war and limit response so he gets the first, last and only word – perhaps because he is right and everyone else is wrong:

    Attorney General Holder says Blacks and Democrats are 'Racial Cowards'

    There is no such thing as "reasonable regulations" in regard to a privately used medium like the internet.

    Its just a bunch of control freaks who want to tell individuals what they are allowed to think and see.

    People like that are a disease on society.

    Speaking of U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder:

    Eric Holder is a racial-minority individual, and in his heart and mind he inevitably does not endorse hate crimes committed by George W. Bush.

    George W. Bush committed hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism (indicated in my blog).

    George W. Bush did in fact commit innumerable hate crimes.

    And I do solemnly swear by Almighty God that George W. Bush committed other hate crimes of epic proportions and with the stench of terrorism which I am not at liberty to mention.

    Many people know what Bush did.

    And many people will know what Bush did—even to the end of the world.

    Bush was absolute evil.

    Bush is now like a fugitive from justice.

    Bush is a psychological prisoner.

    Bush has a lot to worry about.

    Bush can technically be prosecuted for hate crimes at any time.

    In any case, Bush will go down in history in infamy.

    I am not sure where I had read it before, but anyway, it is a linguistically excellent statement, and it goes kind of like this: “If only it were possible to ban invention that bottled up memories so they never got stale and faded.” Oh wait—off the top of my head—I think the quotation came from my Lower Merion High School yearbook.
