    Yeah…let’s not canonize Ted stevens. He was a massive piece of shit.

    That meme was him rallying against net neutrality while head of the senate commitee that regulated the internet.

      Yeah, I’m not trying to call him a saint, only that he (or maybe more accurately his staffers) actually took the time to understand the thing he was talking about to some extent.

        Hard disagree.

        Listen to the whole rambling speech. Its a barely contained mess, a geriatric kaleidoscope of madness about of how the internet works, clearly filtered through whatever the Comcast lobbyists told him to think.
