1. Unless, you know, it's one of those right-wing screeds.
Then, I'm sure they'd look the other way.

2. Welcome to the 4th Reich.
Those who disagree need not apply for citizenship.

3. So if we post on DU
or send political emails to our family members, we can go to jail? If you are a public employee, your right to free speech is denied?

6. If someone forwards an article before they read it, I say that they deserve jail time.

Especially if they have decorated the email with their commentary along with the link.

5. "using a publicly-owned email service"
I think it's too harsh, but it might work in our favor as the right wing seems to do more of this than we do.

8. I believe you are right ....
This is another example of the right wing getting what it wished for - then regretting it. The volume of right wing email beats ours 2 to 1, at least with what I see.

9. Who are the assholes that agree with jail over a "political" e-mail
what the fuck is "political" supposed to mean? Who decides what is political - if I forward or send an email to someone about a concert or a show or a talk at a university about the negative aspects of slavery or what if its a friend that says something politically incorrect?

Well at least no democrat would EVER find a reason to justify this. Right?

I mean, what kind of ignorant worthless mother fucker would agree with this under any circumstance?

Wait, I know. The same ones who think amnesty for wall street crimes and torture and wire tapping are sensible and good for America.

What next - a morality committee to vet all emails for political correctness? Teachers having to pass a patriotic test?

Right wing assholes in both parties behaving like little Nazi Nero's, fiddling with their willies while the nation slowly burns to death.
