Jim Robinson’s site is FOR conservatives and he chooses how the forum runs.

The Media ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR ALL OF US.

When they place rules, they are stifling free speech and representing only those they want to have win. (in this case obama)

I consider myself a conservative and I am obeying the house rules and not posting in support of him here. The host entity has every right to decide what speech is allowed and what is not.

“The Media ARE SUPPOSED TO BE FOR ALL OF US.”

Says who? Media can spin things anyway they wish (and often do!). There is no constitutional requirement that they even report facts, as long as they do not run afoul of slander or libel.

“When they place rules, they are stifling free speech and representing only those they want to have win. (in this case obama)”

The hosts of debates can place any rules they wish even if in favor of any candidate they wish.

Asking the audience to keep quiet is not unusual in debate-type forums.
