“You’ve got an opponent who has the capacity to reach millions of people with a click of a mouse and there’s no fact-checker. They can say whatever they want.” –Chris Dodd

Dear Chris Dodd,

What happened last week was your ass getting fact-checked.

Perhaps you missed Salman Khan’s plain English analysis of SOPA and PIPA?

Or Fight for the Future’s PROTECT IP/SOPA Breaks The Internet from way back in October.

Or Clay Shirky’s brilliant TED Talk on Why SOPA is a bad idea.

Even Stephen Colbert came out against Stop Online Piracy Act (in his own, inimitable way).

That not enough? How about Our Internet and Save Innovation by Engine Advocacy.

Or perhaps you need something in plain text. Check out Reddit’s technical examination of SOPA and PROTECT IP.

And don’t forget the umptybillion SOPA/PIPA posts on Boing Boing you made the Internet suffer through.

Finally, for something a little different, check out World Covers’ Rolling In The Deep, a video mashup of 71 different people all covering Adele’s hit song, which is “illegal” on so many levels, it will probably make your head explode (with any luck).

Update: Sign a petition at Whitehouse.gov to Investigate Chris Dodd and the MPAA for bribery after he publicly admitted to bribing politicians to pass legislation.
