Wikileaks Reaction: How to Tell the Difference Between Democrats and Republicans

Democrats want to declare Wikileaks a terrorist organization, seize its domain name, assets, cut off all possibilities of making donations or hosting web pages, fire or not hire anyone who reads the leaked cables, and hunt down Julian Assange and lock him up in jail for the rest of his life for espionage.

Republications endorse all of the above, but would also have the U.S. government issue orders to have Julian Assange killed on sight.

I am now an Independent, and people like Bernie Sanders are the only ones I will ever vote for again.
Free Julian, Free Bradley Manning, and Free the Press.
Wikileaks will not be gagged

Marianne, love, this is how I like to start my day on HuffPo -- with a comment like yours. :)

In general both Democrats and Republicans should be upset at Wikileaks. But Democrats are in power and if they don't tackle it correctly, they'll get hurt in elections. BTW:
I posted criticism on the internet of JA. In retaliation my ID has been attacked and the attacks are continuing. Since Dec 2 my ID has been attacked over 150 times. These attacks were termed "unauthorized attack" by my antivirus provider. JA supporters are not in favor of free speech, they want to HURT you if you criticise them.

There is a half a penny's difference between the two major parties, but nothing more.

This is a good reason to vote for neither party in 2012. You know....? There may probably be better alternatives.

Killing Assange, although emotionally satisfying for cretins, is not an option for sane people.
I want information..how and why.. from this "person" - as much as I want to call him many other things...
Advances in technology and evolution of hacker nuts have enabled this growing problem
... difficult and frightening. Modern society is spinning out of control. How to instill self-discipline
and good judgment is an issue for our educational system and parents.
Not all I want to say.. but haven't thought it through yet.

And that is why this Liberal will never again vote for a Democrat!

It's not either/or -- so weary of too many "knee-jerk thinking" that issues are only black and white..
Learn to separate the emotional from the rational responses... starting with your own..
It's called "thinking" and "self-examination- evaluation".. it's a lifetime ongoing process.

Iran has a law that punishes adultery with death penalty by stones. You feel happy to be an American, as the Iranian law (or any foreign law) doesn't apply to you. I mean your head is safe, at least as long as your wife doesn't know.
Well, how can it be a non-American, who hasn't enganged in any bombing, firing and staff can even be considered a traitor? He is not even American.
But in America, there is a law about "incitement to murder", and I think that someone should stop this before it's too late...

Such a tiny article. More of a comment you'd find in replies than as an actual article on HuffPo.

J Love's posting was designed to provoke readers' comments. What do you want.. to be spoon fed?

I think it's brilliant. Rule 17.
