Stifle this

First I find that the GOP in the Senate is trying to pass a resolution condemning MoveOn.org. That pissed me off, because as People In Power they don't get to do that kind of thing. MoveOn has every right to get their message out, and by attempting to stifle that message the Senate GOP is teetering close to totalitarianism.

Then I find that the Democratic response is to condemn right-wing attack ads, too. That got my cuss juices flowing, because goddamn it it's bad enough that we've got right-wing morons in Congress trying to stifle speech, we don't need it from the left, too. Here's a tip. It doesn't matter which side you're coming from, people in the government don't get to tell the rest of us what is and is not allowable to say. How the hell do they not get that?
