This liberal was about to say the same thing... not all of us are whiners, thanks, and we do understand the limits of free speech.

FYI: I'm a public librarian, and recently chose not to order Coulter's new book. That isn't censorship, just smart book selection... especially with our limited space (it's a TINY library) and liberal local attitude, it would have sat there for months.

NBC is prejudice against women with gigantic adam's apples if you ask me.

Yeah---just make sure there are plenty copies of Al franken, Michael Moore, and Al Gore books in your library so that no one has a chance to hear an opposing viewpoint.

This isn't a freedom of speech case. But it does show NBC's political bias in favor of Obama, as if we didn't already know. Remember this is the network of Chris Matthews, the man who had a thrill running up his leg. No one dares say anything bad about Obama on that network.

You are kidding me right? This country has been under a plague of censorship since 9/11. God forbid anyone speak out against Bush & his minions, you might get annointed a terrorist sympathizer!

The problem is the collusion of the media with the ambitions/aims of the neoconservatives. Their voice has long been a minority. And it continues to shrink. The polls reflected in 2006 and 2008 a break with the crap they feed the public

You must not live in this country or you don't watch MSNBC's Keith Olbermann, CBS's The View, Comedy Central's The Daily Show, ABC's This Week with George Stephanopolis, or CBS's Face The Nation, or CNN's Wolf Blitzer, and many other network shows.

All of those folks are good honest truth tellers, not some insane moron racist like Coulter, which is why Coulter got dumped and her book isn't worth ordering for libraries.

I'm just curious as to how someone can just project such a negative, angry image all the time. Why would you want to be known as a looney radical? Must be a lonely miserable life.
