Erick Erickson of Redstate.com has sent an e-list email encouraging his readers to protest to Congress about Larry Lessig of Google and Barack Obama.
His complaint is threefold.
1. Larry Lessig is pro-Net Neutrality.
2. Larry Lessig is virulently anti-Christian and moves Google in that direction.
3. Lessig is a huge political supporter of Obama; thus Obama has another guilt by association by allowing Lessig’s support of his campaign.
I am not sure if I understand Erickson’s anger about Lessig being for Net Neutrality. Net Neutrality is like the sun, it shines its light on the good and evil at the same time. Net Neutrality certainly allows the evil in this world to exploit a form of communication; however Net Neutrality offers the same exact ability for good to be on the Internet.
I am guessing Erickson’s ire is because Google under Lessig’s direction may be guilty of not allowing pro-Christian websites to be accessed via the Google search engine. If the allegation is true (and I don’t doubt that it is), then Lessig’s defense of Net Neutrality is Leftist hypocrisy. In essence Lessig is promoting Leftwing pro-Mohammedan websites and ridiculing Christ and Christian websites as well as definitely NOT providing neutrality for all users of the Google search engine.
This is a revelation that saddens me. I like using the Google search engine. Unfortunately I am finding out when I place a search for some Christian specific information, Google may be biased as a guide.
Then there is Barack Obama. Obama openly receives support from anti-Christian Lessig. Could this further expose light on Obama’s other associations with Nation of Islam racist Louis Farrakhan and Black Supremacist Christian Jeremiah Wright?
Couple this with Obama’s recent denigration of Pennsylvania rural dwellers (ergo all rural dwellers) as ignorant gun-toting individuals that rely on religion for solace on and comfort and what do you have a picture of?
It is a picture of an anti-Christian candidate running for the Democratic nomination for President.

ACTION ITEM: Call the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee at 202-224-5115 and protest Larry Lessig and Google denigrating Christ while Google censors Christians online. Details below.
A friend and adviser to Barack Obama, Larry Lessig, is going to testify before Congress on Tuesday to advocate for "net neutrality," a position strongly supported by Google,Inc.
Google, recently allowed Larry Lessig to talk to Google employees. During his talk, Lessig showed a video of Jesus, depicted as gay and wearing a diaper singing the song "I Will Survivor" until Christ is run over by a bus. You can see for yourself here.
Lessig told Google's employees, "This is a little bit touchy to some people. I don't get it, so just chill."
Google and Lessig believe that intellectual property rights should be curtailed and internet providers should be forced to allow anyone and everyone to use their networks.
While Google is pushing net neutrality and blaspheming Christ, Google is also censoring Christians online. As I document here, Google has censored a pro-life group online. Google has also been sued for anti-Christian discrimination in the United Kingdom.
Of course, while Google is happy to censor Christians while denigrating Christ, Google has gone out of its way to censor content that might offend muslims.
Google should have no right to demand open access to your internet while censoring and denigrating Christians on its network. And the Senate should not give Larry Lessig a platform to advocate Google's position while Google behaves in that manner.
Call the U.S. Senate Commerce Committee and tell them you find it disgraceful that Google could advocate an open internet while censoring Christians and laughing while Larry Lessig denigrates Christ. The number is 202-224-5115.
Also, please forward this to your friends. Have your friends join this list. We should not let the left get away with denigrating Christ and sending those who do to Congress to advocate for companies that routinely censor Christians.
Together, we can stop this.
All the best,
Erick Erickson
