This is one step closer to 1984. "Hate speech"? That term is almost straight out of Orwell.

Yes, America is a socialist censor. It censors socialists. In your normal way you hae just tried to blame leftists again, but frankly, ideas like this reach far accross the politial spectrum.

I really wonder what knowlege Orwell had, I mean, ALOT of the things out of his book are happening today. The government dosen't have mind control rays (and I doubt they ever will) but they are censoring ideas that don't agree with them. Everything they think is improper is gone. Want to know the really bad part? If governments keep up their censoring pogrom, NG will be on their list.

The most shocking time being the McCarthy era. However, it was 50 years ago, so I'll stick with the continued media censorship of leftist views.

Well, a lot of it happened then. Nothing much changes over time. There has always been censorship, and though today's world is a bit more free than, say, Spain during the Inquisition, I don't see censorship ending anytime in the remote future.

"The Committee of Ministers"?? Hah! If that isn't ominous sounding...
