The Clinton-Lieberman Censorship Crusade

Posted on 01/31/2008 at 10:29 pm by Bob Cesca

When I compared the present situation to Lamont vs. Lieberman, I entirely forgot about Senator Clinton’s awesome partnership with Joe Lieberman on attempting to censor and even ban outright certain video games.

Since Tipper Gore’s PMRC efforts in the ’80s through Clinton-Lieberman and the Family Entertainment Protection Act (FEPA), I’ve always felt this was the absolute wrong side of the issue for Democrats. And of course any Democrat who partners with Joe Lieberman has to be on the wrong side of something.

Lieberman! Censorship! The DLC! Family dynasties! Voting to invade and occupy Iraq! Hillary ’08!

    Well, now I’m pissed. You can’t fuck with my video games. Seriously, with the war and the dying, the plummeting economy and all, I forgot all about this stupid bullshit. That’s pretty interesting, considering all of those silly comments denouncing everything you wrote simply because of that comparison, as if it was waaaay out of bounds.

    What is remarkable about the Clinton-Lieberman anti-digital violence legislation is the contrast it presents to the Clinton, Lieberman, et al. pro-actual violence leading to human death legislation that they signed that got us into this war in the first place. Anybody who think Hillary and the walking Snooze-A-Matic from CT aren’t part of the same corporatist cabal isn’t using much of their brain to do the thinking.
