> Obama's most vocal liberal base will transform into an internet hate machine to rival the likes of the tea party if SOPA is signed.

Unless they're willing to vote for his opponent, and they're not, that doesn't matter.

Politicians are only interested in things that affect votes. Signing SOPA will not lose Obama a single state. However, signing it will give him money to win states.

The Repubs are the ones who are playing this one dumb. They should oppose SOPA and all "protect Hollywood/MPAA" measures because those measures give money to folks who contribute to Dems.
