Paul Hodes (D-NH) seeks to introduce a bill making it un-lawful to favorably propogandize the war in Iraq.An amendment to a defense policy bill would forbid efforts to plant upbeat news stories.
It seems he has taken issue the way that Fox News has been covering the war. www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-na-analysts23-2008may23,0,6856173.story - 47k

And the bill about making it un-lawful to "unfavorably propogandize" the war is coming when?

"We support the troops" is not just a political slogan, it means something to some of us.

Douche bag say what? Talk about an oxygen thief! Even if this made any sense, who decides what is or is not propaganda? Where the hell do we get these people. Someone needs to check the village, because another idiot has escaped.

So this guy is pro-censorship? Victories and security gains are underrepresented in the media as it is, but I guess bias is A-OK as long as it comes from the left.

It makes me sad to think that some of our legislators are this stupid.

Just think, the sheeple elect these buffoons.

Say this legislation weren't just passed for the Iraq war; what happens when there's another major war, a la WW2, where we need up-beat and positive stories to keep the morale of our fighters and our nation strong? Then it'll be "unlawful". Pure. Effin. Genius.

There's a fox in the chickens...

Infringement on freedom of speach is an accurate term for this.
I don't see it going very far, but that fact that such a prospect is proposed is rediculous.

It won't be long before the ultra liberal left take control of the country and force this stupid liberal bullshit into every piece of legislation coming out of congress...REMEMBER VOTE the RIGHT WAY in November 2008. Your way of life will depend on it. Regard's, tom kelly
