No I have not noticed this -ever. That is an ad hominem employed by hateful people who are ignorant of history. American conservatives are thoughtful, well-educated, charitable people. We are also typically people of faith and that includes those who follow Islam. We recognize that Muslim does not equal terrorist and we entirely reject any racist attempt to blame any problem on a group's skin color. American conservatives are the ones seeking to roll back the federal government's unwarranted abuses of power by enforcing the limitations placed on it by the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Turn off MSNBC and read a little history on the Nazis before you try to hang that badge on anyone. While you are at it, how about learning a little about what American Conservatives actually believe.

I usually paint it like this: What if ISPs and common carriers started deciding to block FoxNews.com because they didn't like the message?

Then I'd switch ISPs. If they all blocked it, I'd get together with individuals who reject that sort of censorship and we'd invest in a new ISP would not block that content. However those ISPs who would choose to block content would lose customers and need to answer to their stockholders. Democracy and Capitalism at their best. However, when I delegate control to the Federal Government however incrementally, I'll eventually get hundreds of thousands of pages of regulation. And only the largest carriers can afford to understand and comply with that. And you will probably end up with China-level censorship anyway. Why pay a bunch of bureaucrats to "interpret" the wavering and politicized intent of NN when I have so much more influence by keeping them out of it.
