Tea Party group slams online copyright bill (PROTECT IP)

http://j.mp/qbooLu  (The Hill)

    "The opposition to Sen. Patrick Leahy's (D-Vt.) Protect IP or PIPA Act
     got a lot broader this weekend when the Tea Party Patriots came out
     against the legislation on Facebook. The conservative umbrella group
     has almost 850,000 supporters on Facebook and linked to an editorial
     from Demand Progress executive director David Segal and Don't Censor
     the Net executive director Patrick Ruffini on Saturday, arguing the
     coalition of political opposition from the right and left shows the
     bill is bad for consumers."

A reminder that, as the old saying goes, "Even a stopped clock is
correct twice a day!"
