Internet content control

At American Commitment Phil Kerpen asks,

Do we think the Internet should be designed and managed by federal regulators to make sure certain voices are being heard? Or do we want to continue the remarkably successful experiment with a free-market, privately owned, competitive Internet? Which is the greater danger?

...The IRS targeted hundreds of tea party, pro-Israel, and pro-life groups – even asking one to disclose the contents of its prayers. And President Obama’s Democratic Party representatives at the Federal Election Commission are right now openly calling for regulations on political websites. How can we be sure an FCC with broad powers over the Internet will never use them to control content?

Today on his talk show on radio station KHOW Michael D. Brown talked about tomorrow's FCC vote on regulating the internet. Brown asked, "Having seen what has happened to health insurance in the past four years, how could anyone favor the federal government getting involved in regulating the internet?"
Brown called it fascist. Here is the dictionary defnition of fascism:

a. A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
b. A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
