You've been around here long enough to know why the article was pulled.

Important Legal Notice:

Free Republic has been enjoined from allowing users to post full text articles from the Los Angeles Times (LAT) and Washington Post (WP). Please do not post full text from these sources until and unless we can get this order overturned on appeal. Any full text articles from LAT or WP will be deleted in compliance with this court order.

And besides this is a private website owned by Jim Robinson and run according to his ground rules. Again, you should know better. JimRob doesn't censor articles for political opinion. You step over the bounds of decency and enter into trash talk garbage, you will find your posting will be pulled. That simple!

You may know me, for I am the individual who posted this entire LA Times article a little while ago. I note that you then. as a good and observant Freeper, immediately alerted all that the LA Times policy should be observed. Of course, my next post was that we should pull the thread to honor the agreements and protect FR. One or two seconds later, the thread was pulled.

Having said that, I am curious to hear something, RM. In all frankness, what portion of you reacted so rapidly because you felt the need to monitor such posting errors or misjudgements, and what part of you reacted because of your personal ideology on this illegal alien amnesty/regularization issue and towards Mr. Bush prompted you to want to immediately censor this important LA Times article this morning?

Care to comment? I would like to know.

The L.A.Times would take delight in hurting any conservative org. for any reason. Thanks for the info.

Let me addend here. The FRModerator/Censor sent a cordial personal message to me; suggesting as to 'why' and also stating an option: to repost L.A.T.in part, and post a link to the story (as the current thread poster has done). I thought this was a pro-active, helpful reply.
