Is Free Speech Under Attack in this Country?

It is an interesting issue. I think it is actually too easy to slander people. Finding the right balance aint easy. Fortunately for me there is plenty of evidence out there that sturg is a pedophile. So I'd probably win that one even under the proposed Florida law.
 
Former GOP House Speaker Newt Gingrich slammed a Florida Republican lawmaker for introducing legislation that would require political bloggers to register with the state.

State Senator Jason Brodeur filed a bill last week that would require bloggers who are covering political figures in Florida—including the governor, lieutenant governor, Cabinet or state legislators—to register with the state and report whether they received compensation for their posts.

The bill has drawn criticism from free speech advocates, who have warned that it would eat away at the constitutionally-protected right to freedom of speech and press. It is the latest bill introduced by Florida Republicans to spark First Amendment concerns. Brodeur has defended the bill, saying that paid bloggers equate to lobbyists and should therefore be required to report their compensation.

Gingrich, a Republican, joined the growing list of critics who have taken issue with the bill on Sunday. He took to Twitter to demand Brodeur withdraw the bill, describing it as "insane."

"The idea that bloggers criticizing a politician should register with the government is insane. it is an embarrassment that it is a Republican state legislator in Florida who introduced a bill to that effect. He should withdraw it immediately," he tweeted.

They like to turn that blind eye Sturg. Predictably, no one will acknowledge this was wrong.
 
Democrat lawmakers are making a fool of themselves today in their questioning of Tabbi.

What an embarrassment the left has become
