for his support of a bill to expand dramatically the President's warrantless eavesdropping powers and to immunize telecoms (such as Comcast) which broke the law in enabling the Bush administration to spy on their customers with no warrants.
I must have missed the evidence of Comcast illegally wiretapping anyone. Can someone provide any docs to support that claim?
Aside from that, I think references to gulags, mass murder, and political assassinations should have been included along with the Communist Chinese and Soviets line. Yep, that would have made a very tasty ad indeed. Heh.
I love this part....
Whatever one might think about the legal right of corporations to control our public debates by exercising power of this sort, it is impossible to deny how corrupt and damaging it is to have corporations be able to use their control over media outlets to limit and suppress the terms of our most important political debates in this manner.
Damn that rule of law. How dare Comcast refuse to air an ad attacking it. Why...they should be made to lay down and punch themselves in the face if Glenn demands it. Luckily they aren't really controlling debate, they are declining to air an attack ad. A really clumsy one at that. Keep up the good work.
