It's not censorship. This is America. The newspaper has the right to publish or not publish whichever columnists they choose. Their readers have the right to continue their subscriptions or cancel them.
You saved me the effort of posting that. Those are my thoughts exactly. Censorship is about governments silencing the masses, not a newspaper pulling a columnist. Now if they want to silence the mass known as Rosie O'donnell, I probably wouldn't complain.
Did this particular paper publish the mohammad cartoons?
It is censorship. The newspaper has the right, and obligation, to censor their publication. FreeRepublic has the right, and obligation, to censor this site.

if libs want to say its censorship for people to stop buying Dixie Chick music, then they have to call it censorship to drop Ann's column...
but then, libs never minded about double standards.
btw, I agree... dropping her column is not censorship.
