Lies of omission about 9/11 -- stoking fears of terrorism

THEY WANT YOU TO BE AFRAID

The following post was censored by freerepublic.com shortly after it was posted on their "public" forum on 9/11/04. That forum is designed to appear as though it is a community forum open to all, but this post only received three responses before it and its replies were deleted, and a repeat posting at 4 am PST on 9/20/04 didn't stay online for 5 minutes! Someone is apparently watching closely over the content of the freerepublic.com forums and censoring them 24/7 (though they might have chilled a bit since the election). I think their use of "free" in their domain name is rather blatantly misleading when they manipulate their content to eliminate points of view which expose their radical right-wing agenda.

You can't delete the truth, you can only deny it.

Yes,you have shown that to be correct. Many have told you that it is only censorship if the government is involved. This is a privately held website and the owner may determine what is or is not on his website.

Why do you continue to deny the truth? The biggest tipoff to your wackado status is the misuse of that term. It is a classic lefty playbook error.

Whoops.....I got my dates confused.

I had that problem, too, so I started seeing just one girl at a time.

Oh so you're saying there's NO CENSORSHIP here and the article is WRONG?

No, we're saying YOU don't get to decide what gets posted here; the owner does.

And that's not a damn thing you can do about it.

Except, of course, make yourself look like a fool. So far, you're doing a great job.

Well said!

Suitability of Posts: Free Republic does not edit or censor user posts but does reserve the right to remove what it deems to be (in its own judgment) inappropriate posts or materials.

Did you actually read the user agreement before you posted? No? I didn't think so.

It's kind of an early Christmas present.

I'm not even usually UP this time of day, but two of my grandsons spent the night -- and I'm letting the see their very first ZOT! I told them it's a Power Ranger thing!

The zot is slow this morning

[popdonnelly]

I love your point of view. I just don't respect it or agree with it. The problem with you, as with other leftists, is that you believe your opinion is the only one, and that you are fated to have your point of view prevail over all others.

[Egon]

BTW, ironic screen name, as the most famous fascists were also socialists.

Another confirmation of your ignorance: I am not a "bro" and nobody here uses that term.

Back to DU with you.
