If you aren't already depressed enough following these SOPA hearings, check out this interview with Mr. King: http://www.rightsidenews.com/2010120612252/us/politics-and-economics/rsn-exclusive-a-conversation-with-congressman-steve-king-taking-back-congress.html http://www.rightsidenews.com/2010120612252/us/politics-and-e... Choice bit: RSN: Cliff Kincaid recently had a National Press Club conference where he called for resurrection of the Congressional internal security committees along the lines of the House Un-American Activities Committee. Would you support recreation of such committees? King: I would. Something similar. If we called it the House Un-American Activities Committee, that would be lighting up the history of McCarthy in a way that wouldn't be necessary, although I am often quoted as saying "McCarthy was a hero for America." He was. He was right far more times than he was wrong. It is a historical fact. But I would submit a different committee name so that we don't have to deal with the history, and move forward. I think that is a good process and I would support it. My inner cynic isn't surprised by this, but that little hopeful light that typically keeps the cynic in check is flickering out. (Nota bene: Under SOPA, RSN could take down Hacker News for this comment, no?)
