What happened to Freedom of Speech?

Well, there is another part of the First Amendment called Freedom of Association - if the newspaper in question doesn't want to run your ad because they disagree with the content, they don't have to. That ain't censorship, just as the Boy Scouts can't be forced to admit gays.

Not exactly the same thing, but I would be interested to see if they would accept an ad saying that the war was wrong and implying that Bush was bad...

I don't think that "freedom of association" exemplified by the boy scouts is the same thing here ....

For a US Newspaper to NOT allow someone to promote homosexual because of the newspaper's affiliation with a church, maybe ...

But for a US Newspaper to NOT allow an advertiser, a PAID advertiser, to say they support the President of the same country that this paper is part of ... well, to me that's a different matter all together.
