Doesn’t Big Sister monitor Drudge?

Telling someone not to look at something or not to read a book or not to watch a movie is actually asking them to do just the opposite.
Movies that were “banned in Boston” years ago, were big everywhere else.
When booze was illiegal, speakeasies sprung up.
Denying something to people creates a strong desire in the opposite direction.
Does Washington know this or are they simply idiot merons?

Censorship of this kind should signal any sane people left in the government that we are approaching a Hitler/Mussolini type of National Socialism in Washington, DC.

Another case of book burning liberals calling out the thought police to censor what people see and think. They are dangerous.

Global Warming is collapsing and a fraud, Health care is a fraud, European Socialism is collapsing, Latin Marxism is collapsing, the US dollar is in danger, Obama is banning recreational fishing in the USA — what could Americans possibly see on Drudge that might make them think Obama and the MSM are liars and frauds?

Looks like the Socialist in congress have a bad case of the F Chuck Todd virus bahahaha

This incident needs to be investigated. The person responsible needs to back up his claims. If he can’t, he’s either somewhat incompetent or underhanded, and should be let go. When are public officials going to really be held responsible for their mistakes and misdeeds?

I know 3 Liberals who have said that because of the “Drudge Ban” they ae changing it to their homepage.
LOL! This Administration is a total failure and joke.

The public school my kids attend have one week devoted to banned books. There are signs all over the school for the kids to read banned books. The librarian gives all the students, in small groups, lectures on the evils of book banning. She basically tells them that if anyone ever tells you that you can’t read something, they need to be told where they can go. Maybe it’s time for to bring the Drudge Report into the schools. Freedom, sweet freedom!

Apparently the banning isn’t coming from that evil Sarah Palin. It’s coming from the government. Yikes!

Whoever started the ban should have to produce their evidence. Did Drudge lose any viewers on false information?

Could these people be more cowardly, classless or dishonest?

When it comes to the dems it often is, “All of the above.”

I could very well imagine why the Obama administration has an utter disdain for the Drudge Report. Matt Drudge does an excellent job of “shining the light” into the dark corners of the political arena and not surprisingly the corrupt Obama machine is wanting not only his administration staffers but Democrats in general, to avoid “the light” and I would assume he would want the entirety of the United States population to avoid it as well if he could have his way. The Drudge Report has gone a long way in “exposing” the ‘corruption’ and ‘dirty politics’ that is the Obama administration and Obama probably loses sleep on a regular basis thinking about the potential “harm” the Drudge Report is causing him and to his “agenda” of turning America into a Socialistic society and consequently taking the once great United States of America down the road to mediocrity and economic oblivion along with him in my opinion.

As an example, have a look at this article by the New York Post that was recently linked on the Drudge Report “exposing” the “strong arm” tactics of the corrupt and heavy handed Obama political machine: http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/final_reform_push_0pwRMzHMNshlHQZg8LWmcJ As you can imagine Obama and his political cronies are probably “terrified” by these ‘expositions’ that exposes the Obama administration for who they really are i.e. – corrupt low life’s who are seemingly intent on destroying the United States of America as we know it and using every means possible, when necessary, to accomplish their ill-fated goals of doing just that. PATHETIC!! And now you can also understand why the Obama administration is wanting to re-institute the “fairness doctrine” (through the back door, stealthily) and thereby essentially wresting control of the “air waves” and also in trying to “control” the Internet itself with the liberal Democrat majority seeking to give their Leader i.e. Obama the power to shut down the Internet whenever he feels the United States is “threatened.” Yeah right! More like whenever HE himself or his administration or the progressive LIBERALS in Congress happened to feel ‘threatened’ no doubt!

If indeed Obama were to gain the power to “shut down” the Internet in the United States don’t believe for a second he wouldn’t use that power if, in my opinion, he thought it could possibly “save” him or his administration from political embarrassment or to save his own political career. You might think that’s quite a ’stretch of the imagination’ to think he would actually shut down the Internet in the United States for something so trivial, but when you look down south to his ideological “buddy” and friend Hugo Chavez in Venezuela that “stretch of the imagination” starts to look more and more like straight up “reality” if you ask me. And I, for one, wouldn’t put it past him to conveniently “flip the switch” whenever he felt like it could help him, or his political allies, to stay in “power” or to save him and his administration from possible embarrassment or in advancing his “agenda” of marching America toward the precipice of all-out Socialism/Marxism and eventually toward “annihilation” of the United States of America itself if he were to succeed in my opinion. >> And all you liberals thought Obama was this really ‘nice’ guy. You better think again. Unless you liberals don’t mind Obama turning the United States of America upside down and inside out and toward a SOCIALISTIC SOCIETY and BANKRUPTCY! Nah! You probably DON’T care do you, right? ;)

Corrupt crony capitalism sucks just as much as socialism.

Lenin….”fascism is capitalism in decay”

Snailmailtrucker   March 10th, 2010 - 2:16 pm

Drudge had better watch out.
I am willing to bet the Obama’s people will find a way to embed viruses in links and pictures or any way that the can into The Drudge Report’s articles.
(just to make themselves look legit) and (The Dirtbag in charge of Homeland Security, Janet Incompetano has all of the weapons she needs at her command)
How in the world did you allow this to happen?

They are as low as they can be and will stop at nothing to have their way.

LIBERALISM IS DEFINITELY A MENTAL DISORDER!

kmichaels   March 10th, 2010 - 3:19 pm

Army of Davids quoting Lenin somehow gives your dumbass extra credibility? It just makes you look that much more suspect.

ILoveJesus   March 10th, 2010 - 3:36 pm

Consider:

If the Senate was banned from Drudge it was because someone doesn’t want them being influenced by outside opinion.

Now consider this:
If progressives fear the impact and persuasion of ONE website – then truly they understand, fully, the implication of their liberal push in our schools.

Drano   March 10th, 2010 - 3:54 pm

Just goes to show that the dimocrats are not for free speech at all, just “my way or the highway” speech.

“Army of Davids” apparently doesn’t know we are being governed by communists, marxists, and socialists right now and not capitalists. But that will probably change in Nov. of this year.

raybojabo   March 10th, 2010 - 4:31 pm

Inhofe for President 2012! This guy rocks.

RedneckBob   March 10th, 2010 - 8:07 pm

Drudge is a virus.

truth be told   March 11th, 2010 - 12:08 am

THANK YOU AGAIN JIM, for trying to look out for the American people!…I’m proud of both of my senators, Jim Inhofe & Tom Coburn…true patriots! GOD BLESS THEM BOTH!
