i generally assume (until proven otherwise), that ALL people are reasonable, open-minded, and humane...

(i'm aware some people may not merit that assumption, but it is the better default position to start with...)

now that i'm aware you have low reading comprehension skills (a common affliction among saloonists, AGAIN, plaints of CENSORSHIP use myself as an example, BUT ALL OF US SUFFER THIS ABROGATION OF FREEDOM); are unwilling to think for yourself (relying on properly propagandized memes such as 'property rights trump any other rights'); and exhibit the sociopathic tendencies of 'our' (sic) leadership (sneeringly dismissing babies WE have blown up in cheneyesque 'so, what of it?' posturing), now i know i can dismiss you and your own 'nerd rage' nonsense...

whatever 'nerd' rage is supposed to imply... presumably, some sort of put down... (as the bumperstickers say: IF YOU'RE NOT OUTRAGED, YOU'RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION) but i need not concern myself with sussing out meanings from your unreasoned, unseasoned nothingburgers any longer... christ sinner, thanks again for saving me some time...

to continue for the few open-minded readers still left (in several meanings):

True Free Speech is a BEDROCK RIGHT,

CENSORSHIP is NOT a progressive value,

salon CENSORS,

therefore,

salon is NOT progressive...

qe fucking d

simple enough equation, but only bre'r texas star seems to get the Very Critical (in several meanings) points i have (legitimately) raised...

(also, i appreciate your points and recounting of events, RMP, but i think you have to re-think your position vis-a-vis CENSORSHIP and True Free Speech... again -not just for you, personally- ALL kampers should forget about stupid fucking asshole me (having the *temerity* to question salon or The Precioussss Greenwald!), and REFUTE NOAM FUCKING CHOMSKY in this regard...)

grennwald, kewl kidz, virtually no one wants to ACKNOWLEDGE those valid points, much less debate them openly...

(AGAIN, the specious 'argument' dredged up by dreary saloonists who have drunk the green koolaid, RELIES on the very kapitalist imiperialist memes and 'values' which you pwogs are *supposedly* working against: korporations as super-duper-uber-citizens, and property rights trumping human rights...)

and AGAIN, IF you can NOT get/demand True Free Speech in an inertnet backwater of limited public awareness (OR ANY OTHER VENUE/MEDIA), where ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is at stake; then HOW the HELL do you expect a KORPORATE MEDIA to practice True Free Speech and NOT 'self-censor' (to say the least), where zillions of ad dollars, billion dollar korporations, thousands of careers, and the untold influence of kaptains of industry are brought to bear to maintain the agenda of the power elites ? ? ?

sorry to make you slow-learners strain your brains so much...

(i know, i know, it *hurts* !)

i lied at the beginning of this posting, i *don't* assume "ALL" people are minimally 'good' as stated: i DO assume 1 or 2% of 'winners' at the top of the food chain are soulless bastards who are true sociopaths, or willing tools who sold their souls to do the heavy lifting that maintains the kapitalist imperialist empire...

oh, to 'stay on topic':

palin sux...

...real good (sic) !

come the revolution, a LOT of things are going to hurt...
