As the media prepared to vacate newsrooms for the weekend, Democrats snuck in a last minute proposal that the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) be allowed to heavily regulate political content on internet sites such as Youtube, blogs, and the Drudge Report.
Obama FEC Vice Chairperson Ann M. Ravel announced late on Friday that the FEC was preparing new regulations to give itself control over videos, Internet-based political campaigns, and other content on the web. She insisted that, "A reexamination of the commission’s approach to the internet and other emerging technologies is long overdue."
This snap decision came after the FEC deadlocked 3-3 over whether or not an anti-Obama Internet campaign in Ohio had violated FEC campaign disclosure rules. The videos were placed for free on Youtube and were not paid advertising, but they also did not disclose who made them.
Until now, videos and other political content that is not posted for a fee are unregulated by the FEC. Only paid advertising is regulated under election rules. It is this that the Democrats want to change.

And VERY VERY DANGEROUS!
This Paralegal has been on line since December of 1982 so has seen a lot on line and lived a lot of OnLine (now Internet) history.
From its inception in 1979 (Ward and Randy's BBS here in Elmhust, IL) OnLine services were primarily the function of the Private Bulletin Board and the large Corporate On Line Services that charged a fee.
This SYSOP ran Publisher Information Serice BBS from 1983-1994. Though a variety of sofware packages were used, PC Board was decided on as a standard.
In 1995, with the Introduction of Windows 3.0 and faster PC's the Internet was introduced to the Public and was a big hit. There were many of us who were involved in its ancestores, from FIDONET to METRONET etc but the systems were not connected in REAL TIME, save for the Big On line Players like AOL and Compuserve.
In the early 1990's Islamic Terrorists (HAMAS, HEZBOLAH, etc) became aware of these systems as well and began to use them to recruit and publish their Jihad materials.
NO ONE STOPPED THEM and EVERY ONE WHO OBJECTED WAS BRANDED A "RACIST" and KICKED OUT!
I was thrown OUT of EVERY Microsoft Community and Yahoo Group of a Political Nature because I POINTED OUT THE DANGERS OF THE MUSLIM TERROR ON LINE!
The FBI was very interested, however but DID LITTLE - and we saw the results on 09/11/2001!
IFF the Dems are allowed to MUZZLE their Critics at WILL the FIRST ONES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT WILL BE CAIR, MSA, and other ISLAMIC GROUP THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH DEADLY TERRORISTS!
CAIR is IN THE WHITE HOUSE NOW and OBAMA has given TERROR-PREACHING IMAMS FREEDOM TO PREACH THEIR MUSLIM HATE!
If the Internet is Muzzled, what's next?
FOX NEWS and TALK RADIO are all that will be left.
DO YOU WANT THIS DANGER FOR AMERICA?!?!?
