1 edit |  Painting all opponents of "net neutrality" with sell-out ...
... label seems to be a favorite tactic of those who support net neutrality. As if anyone with an opinion different from theirs is automatically a bought and paid for shill of the cable and telco firms and couldn't possibly have come to their decision on their own. It is a lame tactic that avoids discussion of the merits and is merely an ad-hominem debate tactic.

said by morbo  :show us that the NAACP hasn't accepted money from telco's in the past few years. And if they have, so what!! I am sure the NAACP accepts donations from thousands of companies and millions of people. It does not mean that every policy stance they take was based on strings-attached donations. What, you think they have some computer program that analyzes every policy stance they have against the stated goals of every donor on dozens of topics. And then does some weighted average to determine their positions? LOL.

For the same reason the Christian Coalition is still around.
To get cheap broadband access for those that don't have access to it, then force the media companies and ISP's to stop sending smut down the tubes so our children have a chance of being good moral citizens of this country.

naacp talking about crap they know nothing about. who listens to the naacp on corporate franchising issues anyway? why are they even involved? sounds like they need to shut the f*^% up and go back to attacking universities for not having enough diversity. |

I hope that this is a joke. If parents would watch what their kids are doing, and use vchip and monitoring software on the computers.... you know what, forget it, my mind is going numb from reading what you posted. |

You'll find that some people's very existence depends on an atmosphere of discord and unrest. To admit otherwise would require them to get real jobs.
To this end, if there is a lack of controversy they simply create a few to keep themselves relevant and in demand.

Re: once again
You're quite hostile towards them.. but why?
Anyway, they can voice their opinion/stance on the matter, hell everyone else in the world does when they have no clue what they're talking about anyhow. Why should the NAACP be excluded? |

Re: Why is NAACP still around
Typical NAACP doublespeak!
Me think black man speak with forked tongue 
The NAACP is still around for the same reason that there is still a "Miss Black America" contest even though there have been several black "Miss America's" in recent years.
The answer is $$$$$$$ and that's all!

This is a very irresponsible "news" item. The headline makes it seem like the entire NAACP supports Greg Moore position on broadband deployment. It may surprise some people that not all African-Americans think exactly alike, even if they belong to the same organization. No where does Greg Moore imply that he is speaking on behalf of the NAACP. George W. Bush is white, does that mean everyone who is white support his views? Of course not.
This "news" item does it's best to make it seem like the NAACP is talking out of both sides of their mouths. If you read the release, the NAACP of Florida supports the bill because it increases competiton, which help to keep prices down.
What this "news" item fails to mention is that the cherry-picking provisions were taken out of the bill the NAACP supported. This is FOX NEWS style reporting. Slanting and distorting facts coupled with inflaming sensitive issues is low. BBR should be ashamed. |

last time I checked, Google, Yahoo, etc. were all PAYING for their bandwidth already (come on, how else will they even be on-line) and I'd imagine it's not chump change with their traffic. So, why is this even a concern? Getting tired of these greedy corp types thinking that they can control every little %*$%#* thing.
bah, go away! |

The NAACP does that for themselves. Effort wasn't really required. quote:

It does? Surely then you can find me heaps of real Florida consumer advocates who think SB0998 was a good idea. You can't? That's because they all think it's an awful bill. quote:

Incorrect, and makes no sense. Actually, all of of the amendments concerned locals tried to include in the bill to prevent cherry picking were pulled, according to my conversations with Florida PIRG's Brad Ashwell. |
