I wouldn't have lisened to that with or without the lyerics but I agree that AT&T should not have censored out thouse lines. Maybe the webcast editor will get canned or at least disciplined. Don't know if its grounds for a lawsuit or not.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
why not?
It's their right to do so, to not distribute lies and content that's inflamatory if they don't want to.

As people are clearly allowed to attack me but I'm not allowed to defend myself, I no longer post to this site.

The Huffington Post? At least make an attempt to find something that doesn't scream lefty.
"One of the methods used by statists to destroy capitalism consists in establishing controls that tie a given industry hand and foot, making it unable to solve its problems, then declaring that freedom has failed and stronger controls are necessary." --Ayn Rand
It's better than Daily Kos (though not by much)...
I wonder how he'd have reacted if a station had aired something that was anti-Kerry without censoring it back in '04...

Entertainers need to do just that, entertain and leave politics out of it. If I go to a concert, movie, or whatever, I go for entertainment, not for a lesson in politics.

I agree -- we in USA need not have our news media act like the newspapers of USSR which printed only what the communists wanted their people to hear. I don't think they have a right to cencorship as jwenting mentioned except to bleep out vulgar language and lewd pictures.
