Net Neutrality equals GESTAPO

Freepers are particularly amusingly knee-jerk unhinged about net neutrality, which apparently some parts of the stimulus package facilitates.

TribalPrincess2U provides the opening hilarious histrionics

Yeah, let’s call it what it is.... GESTAPO

Bambi’s GESTAPO. Crush the people.

Gotta be a s***load of people including some dims that
are wishing they had never sold their vote for this modern Hitler.

Kennard explains to the few Freepers who point out what Net Neutrality actually means

“Net Neutrality” is just an aphorism that will be employed to enforce the opposite of its literal meaning. The camel’s nose is under the tent.
Fred Hayek knows what this means: Obama is coming after Free Republic!

So FreeRepublic then becomes the equivalent of the underground Samizdat press in the Soviet Union.

Cacique agrees with the sentiment, if not with the analogous regime:

It took Hitler 6 months to consolidate power and rid himself of the opposition. Obama is accomplishing the same in less than 30 days.

Madame Dufarge sees a real concern: Google, who owns the Internet, has been compromised!!!!

Seven of the links in this article are broken; Google’s been doing this more and more lately.

Reminds me of The Internet sketch.

txnativegop has a measured and mature reaction to net neutrality maybe being passed:
I feel a guerrilla war coming on.
NO NET NEUTRALITY OR WE TAKE TO THE STREETS! Heh. That'd be a protest I'd like to see, with all the "This is Gestapo!" and "Hitler would have LOVED Net Nootrality" Signs.

  1. K... did they miss the whole "the internet isn't a truck, it's a series of tubes" thing? Cause they seem to be under the impression that "net neutrality has something to do with neutralizing content rather than neutralizing access regardless of content... wtf?
