Worth repeating: SOPA plans set to be shelved as Obama comes out against piracy bill
As various websites go black today, it bears repeating that the announcement a few days ago from Obama that he would veto the current SOPA legislation making its way through Congress has essentially put the kabosh on this dangerous nonsense:

"...the White House said it would not support legislation that "reduces freedom of expression, increases cybersecurity risks or undermines the dynamic, innovative global internet."

So what will the GOP put in the bill to try and poison the veto?

Love Google's home page today.

"They want to give people like me a two hundred thousand dollar tax cut that’s paid for by asking thirty three seniors to each pay six thousand dollars more in health costs? That’s not right, and it’s not going to happen as long as I’m President." Barack Obama

It seems to me that one of the things that the
supports of this bill are forgetting is that it's passage could affect THEIR free speech rights.

Bet they didn't think about that.

Oh good lord, yet one less thing for the Eternal Disappointment Trolls to grief about. Whatever will they do?

My guess is that they would just make something up
After all, hatred of this man is their #1 thing.
