SOPA: Your congress reps are insulting you

Hey American citizens, your congressmen are insulting you.

http://www.gamepolitics.com/2012/01/04/smith-says-reddit-sopa-protestors-are-039not-legitimate-or-large-number039

Notable quotes:

SOPA sponsor and House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) When asked about online opposition to the bill from places such as Reddit, Smith was quite dismissive.

"It’s a vocal minority, he said. "Because they’re strident doesn’t mean they’re either legitimate or large in number.

"It’s time to pull the nerds in," Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said.

----
Guess the people who use the internet daily and build businesses on it aren't as knowledgeable as Lamar Smith (a methodist-educated lawyer whose only business experience was as an intern) and Jason Chaffetz (a "jock" who played football at BYU).

    Whats wrong with SOPA? It is a bill that is meant to protect against theft of ideas posted online by pirates who steal the idea and then post it as their own like they were the ones who created it when in fact all they did was steal the idea for theirself.

    Anti-SOPA gamers sound like MING the Merciless because they lack the ability to artistically create and can only steal something from someone else like a dark adder or something else lurking in the night.

    dahell did I just read?

    You're a little late to the party bro. SOPA's dead, and its children are rising to feast on your brains.

    Also, its evident you don't know anything about what SOPA could have legalized, or, for that matter, illegalized.
