WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Senate Republican leader, who last year accused the Obama administration of Nixon-style dirty tricks, says the Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups is part of a broader government assault on free speech.

McConnell and leader are mutually exclusive.

We can always count on marble-mouth McConnell to be out front fighting for our rights. /sarcasm

What Obama is doing goes so far beyond anything Nixon ever contemplated, let alone carried out, that the ultimate punishment should go beyond mere resignation. Now we will see if there are any Republican leaders-—McCain? McConnell? Graham? Alexander? Corker? Croaker? Crickets?

Well DUH What a brilliant insight. of course it is. The government wants to take your money, disarm you and shut you up - just like every other government. It want quiet little slaves who worship the turd in the white house and lick the jackboots of the sicherheitsdienst thugs who enforce the tyranny, in short they want us all like New Yorkers.

Leader? Republican?

The name of the party to which this clown claims to belong needs to be changed to the Republicrat Party. The Republican Party is dead and rotting. Better bury it.

What’s a republican leader.

Someone who does what the democrats want but isn't an official democrat.

What is sickening about this is McConnell is only pretending to be conservative because he has to face an electorate that elected Rand Paul. If it weren’t for his election campaign, he’d be in there trying to elbow McCain out of the way so he could get the first vote on amnesty.

You think we have free speech anymore? Think again. Try genuinely speaking your mind. The pc “lets celebrate diversity” types will be all over you, shouting you down, personally attacking you, even wishing some terrible fate would befall you. (Yes, they are that irony challenged) Free speech and true diversity of thought are not and cannot be allowed by the pc fascists. Don’t believe me? Try it. Create a fake fb account and go on there and speak your mind. You’ll be banned within a few weeks, depending on your activity level and how honest you really are. Note, only do this from public access points, not your home - just in case they decide to block your IP.

Depends on the sites themselves. Some are very strict as you have mentioned, and others have no problem.
