Huffington Censored My Post – No Iraq Allowed (unpleasant)

:hi:

:blush:



Me and my "Spawn"

:rofl:

"In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act."

George Orwell

This was such a minor post on a thread that was clearly a puff piece for the Hillary campaign.

They can have their "inside baseball" puff pieces but Lard, let us try to interject some reality.

I understand I'm supposed to start having "hope," so I'll work on it.

I am an Edwards supporter, and I fervently hope Hillary is not our nominee, because I think her high negatives would cost us not only the presidency but many other downticket races. But I am appalled at the way HuffPost piles onto Hillary. I guarantee they would not censor an anti-Hillary post.

On the other hand, I don't care who our nominee is--I will support him or her all the way. Hillary would be a good president, and so would any of the other Dem candidates--including Biden or Dodd, even though they have dropped out of the race!

so...I don't think that's true...but maybe it depends on the articles you hit...and whatever...

It's not nice to tell the truth in BushAmerica.

:spank:

If they really wanted to get me, they'd post it and have a bunch of the HRC crew call me
tedious or boring.

Maybe I should write them an apology.

Sorry to disrupt your denial.

they always bury my posts where no reader can ever find them, let alone read them... yet another form of censorship:)

Email me when you post and find they've shoved it in the corner and I'll come post a comment,
which they'll censor ... everybody wins:)

Keep up the great work!

here is my most recent

maybe HPo does not like unauthorized links?;)

What were you thinking anyway? Is there a war still going on in Iraq?

Yep, that's what I hear. We should talk more;)

Maybe I can figure out those little icon thingys after your name and encourage a discussion with a pm.

I have such an unpleasant feeling about all of this.

So how does it feel to be a "HILLARY HATER!!" tm ?

Let's compare notes! :evilgrin:

But a few of the bodies are getting stale;)

:evilgrin:

censors comments all the time. I stopped posting there a long time ago for that reason. DU censors too, of course, but not anywhere near like Huff does.

I rearely post at Huffington. In fact, just rememberd my password and thought, hey why not.

My next move: I'll see if I can become a fan of myself;)

would censor an anti-Hillary post. They hate Hillary.

The last time I tried to post there was when their resident psychologist blogger referred to the effort of raising a hearing-impaired child as a terrible burden and commented that a child with hearing impairment was a "broken" child.

I have a severe hearing impairment and though it is progressive, so it is worse now that I am 57 than it was when I was young, nevertheless, I had a hearing impairment even when I was in grade school.

Yet somehow, "broken" as I was (and such a burden!) I managed to make straight A's all through school (including college) and to become both an effective teacher of college English and a very well-known internet writer with a worldwide readership in the millions. I have ten public websites, with over 450 articles spread across them, and another 150 articles that I have sold as web content. I also know several deaf/HoH people who are very talented and successful. We are not necessarily helpless, useless losers, as that blog post implied hearing-impaired children are bound to be!

I mentioned my shock at her remark in a comment on her blog post and said I was sure that other deaf/HoH* people and families of deaf/HoH people would not agree with her assessment.

Not only did they not post my comment, they also did not post a later comment I made about their not posting that comment. Now I just don't waste my time trying to comment on their articles, especially when I see the often mindless blather and "so are you" name-calling they do allow to show up in the comments.

*HoH = Hard of Hearing

Many years ago, I had the pleasure of helping students at Gallaudet University get the word out on
a strike or some major action they were having to protest, I believe, a new president who was not
HoH. They were customers of an online service I was working with. That was my introduction to
the HoH world. It was quite an effort and I learned a lot in the process. The remark is not only
rude and offensive, it's wring.

namely that JE came second, beating HC; although a public-service channel, prefering to mimic the perjurious, privatised US MSM.

Instead, they have preferred to concentrate their coverage on the politicians' fatuous tool for influencing public opinion, the polls, in this case relating to the candidates' putative popularity in relation to the NH Primary.

..."Don't Want Nobody Bringin' Me No Bad News"!

Hold up your chin. I'm pinning a cyber-medal on your chest. You're a real Mensch (I'm not Jewish, but I think that means "a real swell guy")!

How can we cheer Hill along with boundless enthusiasm if we stop and think about the results of her IWR vote?

Don't you think we should censor the bad boy commentary?

Don't you think we should bury the messenger?

As consolation, though, you hold the key to the second most viewed series of articles on all of Scoop.

Must be somethin' you are doing right.

Why did I try to interject the reality of death and suffering into a pep talk for the kids on the
bus. They have rights too - to be lied to like the rest of us.

Thanks for the scoop on "Scoop." The best USA web news source not originating in the USA, but thank
goD for them. We're you referring to this one http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0801/S00011.htm or
sometingn else? "Most Read Headlines"??? Inquiring minds want to know;)

On Scoop (and it was generated at Scoop) and you were listed as number two.

I seem to remember it being for your over all work, but maybe it was for the original piece on the numbers of civilian dead in Iraq (which became "I see dead people" here on DU)

Never forget though, AR, some of the people you see are alive!

Oh dear, another complaining letter I must write.

constantly bringing up this insufferable war stuff. I am afraid I have to take you off my next gala event list until you can mind your manners. Until then, toodles, dahling.

'Tis the preeminent foundation of any civil upbringing.

much manners...but it might be one has to be an "insider." But, it could also be a mistake....and hope you will keep at it!

I don't post there much at all. The format is to linear and there are way too many posts.
Who reads them all?

I'm betting that they thought this was 'off target.' I wasn't upset, just a little surprised.

I'll write the admin and tell the I'm an aggrieved party but they can make up for it by
publishing this;) ...front page. of course.

:hi: Happy New Year

I just can't understand why YOU PEOPLE continue with all this ugliness. Don't you love America?

; )

You are a person of exemplary behavior and restraint, a model for one and all!

made them look more, well, easier to take. The numbers you have listed there are just too high and may make their readers feel like, well, they are not doing enough to stop the killings. Or maybe the readers are focusing on less important things but the kind of things that bring readers coming back again and again ... like gossip re whether or not Hilary is shrill or did Obama's lobbyist lie or that pesky Edwards who is too much into that fighting thing. :)

Keep up the good work, Mike. Truth will OUT.

But human interest might have helped. "I personally showed these numbers to Obama. We were laid back,
just relaxing and I said, O (that's what I call him), check out this shit. You should have seen him.
He said, 'Damn, that's a buzz kill.'" Happened, honest."

I like your candidate a lot. Moved two whole towns. Worthy of some internet green. Will do.

:hi:

a good friend is working on her campaign and affirms she has a very firm environmental focus. Happy to help out with sporting her information. Otherwise sitting out this contest - anyone I start to support decides to not run. :(

Her site looks great. This will be the exception, let's hope.
