Faced with internal division, liberal website clamps down on Obama criticism
washington examiner ^ | 7/2/10 | Casey Cheney

Hilarious. Fascist to the core—the true colors are starting to emerge. This’ll probably end with ice axes lodged in quite a few skulls.

Censorship of liberals is good. If they shut each other up President Palin won’t have to use 0bama’s internet kill switch on them. /s

Libs are saying that the kill switch is nonexistent right wing conspiracy theory, so I guess its ok if President Palin gets the switch.

Notice how the libs have to be controlled. They do not have the self-control normal people do.

If they complain we’ll just say they are imagining their connections going down. Nice of 0biWon to provide the coming Conservative Regime with such a useful tool.

Heh... good headline. Get’s the peruser wondering whether it’s about Huffington Post, Politico, Salon, DUh, Little Green Tomatoes, whatever.. You have to click to find out. I didn’t think DUh was even still around with the emergence of Huffington Post as the premier site for socialist scumbags.

They're still letting a few slip thru. Just found on DU:

"Nope. But I remember being lied to by Bush that the economy was in good shape. And now the Obama Administration is telling the same lies."
