I don’t trust the government. I think it was withdrawn because it was true and therefore the government looked bad.

Time will tell.

[LibertyRocks]

I remain skeptical as well. Especially with how the “advisory” is worded. Heck, even the advisory isn’t completely accurate - it just sounds like that “less than 250,000” soundbite from the campaign.

[KC_Conspirator]

This is an outrage. The death of journalism indeed.

[metmom]

No. The truth hurts and the elite don’t like that.

First Ammendment is dead

Then how do you explain Scott Brown's victory?

[OldArmy52]

The “Establishment Media” is as independent of the Govt in general and the Dem Party in particular as the Russian media entity “Pravda” was, back in the USSR days.

And as objective and honest.

[cvq3842]

The “mainstream media” is absolutely worthless, except as an example of propaganda.

[Texas resident]

Where are all the libs who scream 1st ammendment and freedom of speech? Where is the media outrage? Your boy that you actively campaigned for is now censoring you and violating the 1st ammendment. And the msm dutifully complies.

[OldArmy52]

Small wonder so many people vote Dem. Their news source is the One Party Press and so they know nothing else but the Party Line.

a.k.a. “populace brain washing”.

Old USSR used to do that too.

Scratch a Liberal, find a Socialist.

Thanks for the ping!

That’s what I figured. I copied, pasted and circulated.... LOL

[Edgerunner]

But I do know that no matter what happens with tax rates, the level of spending is out of control.

I beg to differ...

Obummer knows what his bosses want: break the USA.

The spending is right on course for that end!

[Commander X]

So true!

[Edgerunner]

Wow... “appealed to” sounds so... voluntary.

Wonder if it was a horsehead appeal? ...just askin'

[left that other site]

Just like Orwell’s “Ministry of Truth”!

[hoosiermama]

Rush spoke about this yesterday and FOX had a small segment . At least it wasn't done in a back room. People know what happened and they are talking.....

I'm certain they've tried intimidation with others....Some more successful than others. Many less transparent.

[Archon of the East]

Obvious from the beginning. This how how Nazis, Communists and other Left wing governments operate.

You know this wasn't very smart by the BO administration.

If they had said nothing a few hundred people would read it and nothing much would have come of it.

Now they bring attention to it by targeting the article. The original is still available and everyone and their uncle and going to analyze, talk about, and distribute the original. Why was it targeted? What do they want to hide? What was so important that they were threatened by it's content?

Bad move on more than one level by BO & CO.
