Banning certain words, images...

Precisely. Liberals happen to care about the historical integrity in books, unlike the Texas Legislature, which authorized new school textbooks which had a revisionist version of historical events, slanted to a right wing ideology. The horror! The gall!
Liberals understand the rhetoric of the day, in the time of Huck Finn and Uncle Tom's Cabin...and wouldn't attempt to alter the author's intent or cultural integrity.

Actually, this is the guy hot on changing Huck Finn: http://www.newsouthbooks.com/pages/newsouth-staff/randall-williams/ On that page there's a link to Alabama Public Television’s Face to Face where he cites a liberal social agenda. *shrug*

They just tried to remove it from school libraries, along with To Kill a Mockingbird and a few others because they mention words that some people find offensive.
 
I was just banned last night from a political forum for debating a muslim. I was reported for "hate speech" for copying word for word out of the Quran and speaking against it. Surah 5:1. The muslim told me I took it out of context. When I showed him the Arabic was translated word for word into English he called me an idiot and a jackass and I was soon banned for "hate speech".

What do you leftys who claim to be patriots and claim to support free speech and the constitution think of that?

The whole reason it was posted was to inflame.

The thread should be taken down for that very reason and the fact that the poster who posted it does not hold a license to use the vile word.

There is censorship on this board and there needs to be for some very good reasons.

Had you actually participated in this site longer than a month or so, you would know we discussed this with links, etc. back when it was happening.

Did you know the NAACP in Arizona protested To Kill a Mockingbird?

Here is a short list of places it was banned...

TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD

Challenged (temporaily banned) in Eden Valley, Minnesota, 1977;

That is a blatant lie.

Yet I backed it up with blatant link, and blatant fact. Interesting, when fact isn't lining up the way you want it to, you ignore fact and call it a "lie"...

Censorship is censorship, totalitarians live in both parties, they act the same and none of them will ever get my support. Apparently, belonging to a political "team" is more important to some people than actually taking a stand on what is right against tyrannic people who would use the power of government to enforce their values on others.

The problem is that door swings both ways. Imagine a Christian taking a stand against a book because there is a homosexual relationship in it... I would be against it.

Imagine the NAACP in Arizona taking a stand against a book that does more to help race relations than many written, simply because it displays racism in order to teach that lesson. I would be against that...

To Kill A Mockingbird is arguably one of the more important pieces of literature written in the South in the 60s... Yet they fought "against" it. Imagine a liberal group working to remove words from a book because they aren't PC enough... I would be against them too.

Imagine some idiot pastor trying to burn the Koran to cause a sick scene... I absolutely would be against that.

In every instance I would be against it, because it doesn't matter why totalitarianism is displayed. It is always wrong.
