This is Lamar Alexander, one of the top senate recipients of NRA contributions (http://sunlightfoundation.com/blog/2012/12/18/nra-and-congre...), so this sort of misdirection is rather unsurprising.

Oh, that guy? Co-sponsor of PIPA and COICA, and therefore by definition one of the baddest of the bad guys? Yeah, this is exactly the sort of inane blather you'd expect from him.

I think you might be thinking of Lamar Smith.

[marssaxman]

I think you are right, since Lamar Smith has been a prominent baddie, but it is still true that Lamar Alexander co-signed PIPA and COICA.

Also, the misdirection seems to have worked on HN.
