Pravda Pelosi Hates Free Speech, Especially Political Free Speech

After all, political free speech really puts her shorts in a bunch because a free exchange of ideas is harmful to her brand of ideals.

Nancy Pelosi vs. the Internet
Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who would like very much to reimpose the old, so-called, “Fairness Doctrine” that once censored conservative opinion on television and radio broadcasting, is scheming to impose rules barring any member of Congress from posting opinions on any internet site without first obtaining prior approval from the Democratic leadership of Congress. No blogs, twitter, online forums - nothing.

It's not just Pelosi designated social pariahs, conservatives, it is also more moderate Democrats that will be muzzled.

How much longer before these progressives, really just tired old liberals, get booted out in spite of their feel-good marketing of bad ideas?

Go home Nana. Your blatant power grabs are embarrassing. Even to Democrats. Your inability to understand the law is embarrassing to those of all political persuasions.

Fairness, indeed.
