NNSquad - Network Neutrality Squad
[ NNSquad ] Quiz Answer, and Glenn Beck calls Net Neutrality a Marxist Plot!
Greetings. First, to answer the quiz question I posed in: http://www.nnsquad.org/archives/nnsquad/msg02209.html earlier today, there are, by my count, no less than twelve appearances of the string "communist" in Heartland Institute James G. Lakely's new commentary attempting to link the new evils of Net Neutrality with the known evils of Free Software! It appears that anti-neutrality forces have gotten together and decided that since the facts don't support their view, a return to good ol' reliable "red-baiting" is their new PR protocol. This observation seems further enhanced by Glenn Beck's discussion a couple of days ago, where he proclaimed Net Neutrality to be no less than a Marxist Plot! http://bit.ly/3kjUoY (Media Matters - Text + Video) It could be worse -- he might have mentioned the giant replica of Lenin's skeleton prominently displayed just outside Building 43 at the Googleplex! Oh wait, that's not Lenin, it's a dinosaur. Sorry. Anyway, I seriously recommend watching the video linked above. It's seriously entertaining, Comrades. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
