Illiterate Moonbats in Frenzied Lather Over Non-Existent Bill Provision

February 19th, 2007 by Fiar · 8 Comments ·

In their zealous campaign to ensure the public knows that anything Republican=doubleplusungood, frothing moonbats have worked themselves into a frenzied lather over a non-existent provision of the Internet Stopping Adults Facilitating the Exploitation of Today’s Youth Act (SAFETY) of 2007. Much like the secret, invisible ink provisions of the US Constitution guaranteeing a separation of Church and State, this bill has an invisible, double secret provision that will require ISPs to log all user activity, mostly by requiring ISPs to keep a record of the billing addresses and names of their customers. If something is not done about this clear violation of user privacy, ISPs will soon be abusing the civil rights of customers by sending bills to their billing address and requiring customers to pay these bills.

This mostly worthless and redundant bill outlaws child p**nography on the internet by making it illegal to host or provide Child P**n or enable said hosting or providing. Most rational beings were under the impression that this was already illegal. Ever the warriors to protect the ability to keep CP freely available, and easily accessible, Leftist America-Haters have deliberately misrepresented the section on ISP requirements as an invasion of privacy. Attempts to kill this bill by mis characterizing it have been dubbed the “No child’s behind left unphotographed and posted on the internet act.”

Is this what they’re worked up about:

SEC. 6. RECORD RETENTION REQUIREMENTS FOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS.

(a) Regulations- Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this section, the Attorney General shall issue regulations governing the retention of records by Internet Service Providers. Such regulations shall, at a minimum, require retention of records, such as the name and address of the subscriber or registered user to whom an Internet Protocol address, user identification or telephone number was assigned, in order to permit compliance with court orders that may require production of such information.

I guess it’s the bolded part they’re frothing over. I guess the argument is this will allow the AG to issue any regulations he wants.

Yes, that is the argument. I’m still wondering where it is in the bill that ISPs are required to log all user activity. That is how they’re representing it.

Kos Quote:

A bill introduced last week by Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) is beginning to raise eyebrows.

[It] would require ISPs to record all users’ surfing activity, IM conversations and email traffic indefinitely.

(Boldface theirs.)

C’mon, those Kwazy Kos Kodz wouldn’t misrepresent anything.

I have had personal experience with the Daily Kos’ers, and can tell you that they’re not judgmental in the least.

Tolerant ones, the lot of them.

Doubleplusungood.

Word of the day, kids. I’m using that.

Have you gotten the impression yet that my manner of speech is entirely unoriginal?

Eh, I’m okay with it.

Sorry, that was supposed to be Kwazy Kos Kidz!
