I think that both the left and the right use the Henry II strategy.

Henry hated his chancellor, Archbishop Thoman Becket, but he couldn't kill him or the Pope, who had a big army in those days, would kill his English a$$. So Henry kept saying " Oh, Will no one or nothing rid me of this meddlesome priest?" After saying it a few times, one of the loyal royal staff weenies (similar to loyal AIG executives and loyal SS who loaded the ovens at Auschwitz) took the hint and just had their people go out and stab him 12 times.

It's called " plausible deniability."

The left and the right both have obsequious sycophantic fanatics who do this kind of dirty work for their masters...they work for PACs.

That's why I'm an independent.

I too am an independent, although not for the reason you so eloquently described; I just hate extremes.

Are you saying that the people at McAfee are "obsequious sycophantic fanatics" doing "dirty work for their masters" on the left?

With all due respect, that is crazy talk.

Gosh, funny how we know what each other is writing. It must be a libertarian thang. You boys who play team sports wouldn't understand.

Botnst, I think you should just recite Rainer Maria Rilke's poem on why it's fun to take a shower...

Apparently, MacAfee is an obsequious sycophantic fanatic. Of the D's I assume.

It is. Unfortunately not large enough.

My point was that we have gotten to the point where a single person at McAfee or another so called Internet Rating Host determines what you can see on your browser. In this case the person determined on her own somehow that DS and Atlasshrugged were hate mongers. Do we want a single person having this control over what WE can see? In this particular case even McAfee realized that this was a mistake and corrected the ratings (after DS threatened them with a lawsuit)

The Internet should be an open forum for all sides be they right, left, center, Nazi, Commie, etc.

For all the lefties here who think this is a joke, free speech is only free when the opinions you hate the most are allowed to be heard...
