Remeber the Jane Fonda poll on the Yahoo site a couple of weeks ago? I contributed to the answers, and here's what I got back from Yahoo, which removed my response.

Great response friend.
By implication, the same applies to Yahoo when seeking public comment.
Good answer, remarkably restrained under the circumstances, and a damned silly pull.
How many times have you been banned at DU? What’s the record? How bout WA?
What a fanstastic idea, but why wait until she's dead?
I dont see how a Patriot like Falwell could even be copmpared in the same post with Jane Fonda-Traitor.
A Holy man compared to a common traitor and slut.
Good point!
Great comment - no reason for Yahoo to remove it except blatant censorship of a leftist persuasion.....
I, too, was taught never to betray America to our enemies, so I guess Yahoo wouldn’t except my submission either......

I’ve never been banned at DU. And I don’t know what WA is. I’ve never been banned anywhere. I guess I’m letting down our side, and will have to become more strident. Here at FR, I am fairly well gruntled.
It wasn’t directed at you, just the general topic of the post. :-) I’ve been banned at both of those 2 liberal sites before for discussing conservative points of view.
Yahoo has the means and the will to enforce politically correct expressions of thought. It is only a dim reflection of the totalitarian thought control which the left is currently implementing.
