Censorship on the Huffington Post
I find it very interesting that the moderators at the Huffington Post censored my post listing the Dem Senators who voted against the resolution condeming Move On. Others who posted the list of Dem Senators who voted for it weren't censored. Why was my post the mere listed the names with no editorial comment censored?

This is not the first time I've had a post censored either. The last time I was merely pointing out that writer John Ridley was a conservative Republican who has admitted to voting for Bush. Again there was no editorial comment just a statement of the facts and I did so because I felt it important that readers of Mr. Ridley's column knew what political perspective he was coming from especially since he was bashing the left.

Neither post was a flame or an attack. Both were just statement of facts. Why then are the moderators at the Huffington Post so afraid of facts?

married to a gay man.

5. I didn't rip into anyone.
I merely posted some facts. Why are they so afraid of facts over there?

6. Sometimes it takes forever for things to post if you are not
one of the "trusted". It is pretty weird. I tried to post on some of John Kerry's posts - and found some posts never posted or posted a day later. (though they have allowed in near SBVT stuff.) Many of the JK group here had similar experiences - and you can be assured we were posting nothing controversial.
