Hello Friends,

B Hussein Obowma is surrounded by communists/socialists, goons and a plethora of czars that have one agenda only. Destroy the US as we know and in the process insure that the freedoms that are an inherent right of all US citizens become a thing of the past.

Cass Sunstein the Regulatory Czar wants to silence freedom of speech with absolutely no logical reasons and might succeed due to of stupidity of the masses willing to accept the ridiculous claims of this regime.

One of his targets are "false rumors" and one of the examples given is that B Hussein Obowma was "allegedly" associated with Weatherman Terrorist Bill Ayers. Where does this ignoramus come up with the word allegedly? We all know B Hussein the great pretender was umbilicaly connected to Bill Ayers and the alleged might be right in connection with Ayers ghost writing of Obowma's book "Dreams Of My Father" but not of theirwell recorded association.

The thought that they will regulate what a person is allowed to say based on the criterion of is it against Obowma or not is scandalous and has no place in a Republic where freedom of speech is one of the mainstays of the and is guaranteed in the Constitution.

Obowma and the Goons are at it again. I really wonder when the sheeples will wake up?

Shalom,

Peter

Cass Sunstein

In his recently released book, "On Rumors," Sunsteinspecifically cited as a primary example of "absurd" and "hateful"remarks, reports by "right-wing websites" alleging an associationbetween President Obama and Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers.

He also singled out radio talker Sean Hannity for "attacking" Obama regarding the president's "alleged associations."

Ayers became a name in last year's presidential campaign when itwas disclosed the radical worked closely with Obama for years. Obamaalso was said to have launched his political career at a 1995fundraiser in Ayers' apartment.

As WND reported,Obama and Ayers sat together on the board of a Chicago nonprofit, theWoods Fund. Ayers also was a founder of the Chicago AnnenbergChallenge, where Obama was appointed as its first chairman in 1995.

Ayers reportedly was involved in hiring Obama for the CAC – a job the future president later touted as qualifying him to run for public office.

WND columnist Jack Cashill has produced a series of persuasivearguments that it was Ayers who ghostwrote Obama's award-winningautobiography "Dreams from My Father."

However, such reports were characterized by Sunstein as "absurd" charges for which corrective measures can be taken.

Sunstein's book – reviewed by WND – was released in September,after he was already installed as the administrator of the White HouseOffice of Information and Regulatory Affairs.

"In the era of the Internet, it has become easy to spread false or misleading rumors about almost anyone," Sunstein writes.

"Some right-wing websites liked to make absurd and hatefulremarks about the alleged relationship between Barack Obama and theformer radical Bill Ayers; one of the websites' goals was undoubtedlyto attract more viewers," he writes.

Sunstein continues: "On the Internet as well as on talk radio,altruistic propagators are easy to find; they play an especially largerole in the political domain. When Sean Hannity, the television talkshow host, attacked Barack Obama because of his alleged associations,one of his goals might have been to promote values and causes that hecherishes."

Sunstein presents multiple new measures he argues can be used to stop the spread of "rumors."

He contends "freedom usually works, but in some contexts, it is an incomplete corrective."

Sunstein proposes the imposition of a "chilling effect" on"damaging rumors" – or the use of strong "corrective" measures to deterfuture rumormongers.

For websites, Sunstein suggests a "right to notice and takedown" in which "those who run websites would be obliged to take downfalsehoods upon notice."

Sunstein also argues for the "right to demand a retractionafter a clear demonstration that a statement is both false anddamaging." But he does not explain which agency would determine whetherany statement is false and damaging.

Sunstein further pushes for "deterrence" through making libel lawsuits easier to bring.

Sunstein drafted 'New Deal Fairness Doctrine'

Sunstein's proposals outlined in his book "On Rumors" were notthe first of his writings to recommend regulating talk radio or thenews media.

WND previously reportedSunstein drew up a "First Amendment New Deal" – a new "FairnessDoctrine" that would include the establishment of a panel of"nonpartisan experts" to ensure "diversity of view" on the airwaves.

Sunstein compared the need for the government to regulatebroadcasting to the moral obligation of the U.S. to impose new rulesthat outlawed segregation.

Sunstein's radical proposal, set forth in his 1993 book "ThePartial Constitution," received no news media attention and scantscrutiny until the WND report.

In the book, Sunstein outwardly favors and promotes the"Fairness Doctrine," the abolished FCC policy that required holders ofbroadcast licenses to present controversial issues of public importancein a manner the government deemed "equitable and balanced."

Sunstein introduces what he terms his "First Amendment New Deal" to regulate broadcasting in the U.S.

His proposal, which focuses largely on television, includes agovernment requirement that "purely commercial stations providefinancial subsidies to public television or to commercial stations thatagree to provide less profitable but high-quality programming."

Sunstein wrote it is "worthwhile to consider more dramatic approaches as well."

He proposes "compulsory public-affairs programming, right ofreply, content review by nonpartisan experts or guidelines to encourageattention to public issues and diversity of view."

The Obama czar argues his regulation proposals for broadcasting are actually presented within the spirit of the Constitution.

"It seems quite possible that a law that contained regulatoryremedies would promote rather than undermine the 'freedom of speech,'"he writes.

Sunstein compares the need for the government to regulatebroadcasting to the moral obligation of the government stepping in toend segregation.

Writes Sunstein: "The idea that government should be neutralamong all forms of speech seems right in the abstract, but asfrequently applied it is no more plausible than the idea that it shouldbe neutral between the associational interests of blacks and those ofwhites under conditions of segregation."

Sunstein contends the landmark case that brought about theFairness Doctrine, Red Lion Broadcasting Co. v. Federal CommunicationsCommission, "stresses not the autonomy of broadcasters (made possibleonly by current ownership rights), but instead the need to promotedemocratic self-government by ensuring that people are presented with abroad range of views about public issues."

He continues: "In a market system, this goal may becompromised. It is hardly clear that 'the freedom of speech' ispromoted by a regime in which people are permitted to speak only ifother people are willing to pay enough to allow them to be heard."

In his book, Sunstein slams the U.S. courts' unwillingness to"require something like a Fairness Doctrine" to be a result of "thejudiciary's lack of democratic pedigree, lack of fact-finding powersand limited remedial authority."

He clarifies he is not arguing the government should be free to regulate broadcasting however it chooses.

"Regulation designed to eliminate a particular viewpoint wouldof course be out of bounds. All viewpoint discrimination would bebanned," Sunstein writes.

But, he says, "at the very least, regulative 'fairness doctrines' would raise no real doubts" constitutionally.

I've written much about that in the past and will continue to write about it in the future. BUT now, I'll let Anne's article speak for itself cos it surely does.

Shalom,

__________________________________________________________________________

Fellow Americans,


Pleaseknow: I am Black; I grew up in the segregated South. I did not vote forBarack Obama; I wrote in Ron Paul's name as my choice for president.Most importantly, I am not race conscious. I do not require a Blackpresident to know that I am a person of worth, and that life is worthliving. I do not require a Black president to love the idealof America .

Icannot join you in your celebration. I feel no elation. There is nosmile on my face. I am not jumping with joy. There are no tears oftriumph in my eyes. For such emotions and behavior to come from me, Iwould have to deny all that I know about the requirements of humanflourishing and survival - all that I know about the history of theUnited States of America , all that I know about American racerelations, and all that I know about Barack Obama as a politician. Iwould have to deny the nature of the "change" that Obama asserts hascome to America .

Mostimportantly, I would have to abnegate my certain understanding that youhave chosen to sprint down the road to serfdom that we have been on forover a century. I would have to pretend that individual liberty has novalue for the success of a human life. I would have to evade yourrejection of the slender reed of capitalism on which your success andmine depend. I would have to think it somehow rational that 94 percentof the 12 million Blacks in this country voted for a man because helooks like them (that Blacks are permitted to play the race card), andthat they were joined by self-declared "progressive" whites who votedfor him because he doesn't look like them..

Iwould have to wipe my mind clean of all that I know about the kind ofpeople who have advised and taught Barack Obama and will fill posts inhis administration - political intellectuals like my former colleaguesat the Harvard University 's Kennedy School of Government.

Iwould have to believe that "fairness" is equivalent of justice. I wouldhave to believe that a man who asks me to "go forward in a new spiritof service, in a new service of sacrifice" is speaking in myinterest... I would have to accept the premise of a man that economicprosperity comes from the "bottom up," and who arrogantly believes thathe can will it into existence by the use of government force. I wouldhave to admire a man who thinks the standard of living of the massescan be improved by destroying the most productive and the generators ofwealth.

Finally,Americans, I would have to erase from my consciousness the scene of125,000 screaming, crying, cheering people in GrantPark, Chicago irrationally chanting "Yes We Can!" Finally, I would haveto wipe all memory of all the times I have heard politicians, pundits,journalists, editorialists, bloggers and intellectuals declare thatcapitalism is dead - and no one, including especially Alan Greenspan,objected to their assumption that the particular version of theanti-capitalistic mentality that they want to replace with their ownversion of anti-capitalism is anything remotely equivalent tocapitalism.

Soyou have made history, Americans. You and your children have elected aBlack man to the office of the president of the United States , thewounded giant of the world. The battle between John Wayne and JaneFonda is over - and that Fonda won. Eugene McCarthy and GeorgeMcGovern must be very happy men. Jimmie Carter, too. And the Kennedyshave at last gotten their Kennedy look-a-like. The self-righteouswelfare statists in the suburbs can feel warm moments of satisfactionfor having elected a Black person.

So,toast yourselves: 60s countercultural radicals, 80s yuppies and 90sbourgeois bohemians. Toast yourselves, BlackAmerica. Shout your gleeHarvard,Princeton , Yale, Duke, Stanford, and Berkeley. You haveelected not an individual who is qualified to be president, but a Blackman who, like the pragmatist Franklin Roosevelt, promises to - DoSomething! You now have someone who has picked up the baton of LyndonJohnson's Great Society. But you have also foolishly traded yourfreedom and mine - what little there is left - for the chance to feelgood.

There is nothing in me that can share your happy obliviousness. God Help Us all...
