A lesson In Censorship From The Left

Ready again Class?
Okay boys and girls, today we are going to discuss "free speech".
Oklahoma Lefty, about whom I have expressed great respect for his courage and position on the war, has spent considerable time here in my comments sections trying to convince me to censor my words, thoughts, opinions and views of the left. (See Pinheads For Peace) He condemned me for using words that he deems inappropriate like "moonbat" for instance and has worked tirelessly to make the point that unless I use words and methods that he (dave) approves, then all my points are moot and not to be taken seriously.
Amazingly at the same time, he posts a story accusing bloggers like me of censorship because I require approval before comments are published here primarily due to spam ads. A glance at the comments section in "A Tale of Two Paynes" and numerous other posts shows clearly that I do publish comments that are critical and hateful of myself, conservatives and Bush in particular and in no way censor mere opinions.
Lefty goes to great lengths to condemn censorship when it fits his needs (defending other lefty's) while at the same time trying to *supervise my manners and thereby censor what I write and post here at Red S Tater !
Olahoma Lefty points to definition #2 HERE which says... "Any person who *supervises the manners or morality of others" as his example of MY censorship (by approving comments before publishing) which in fact is exactly what HE is doing by attempting to "supervise my manners" regarding comments I make about liberals and Democrats on my own blog.
And just where does Dave attempt to *supervise my manners and thereby censor free speech?
In the very same comments section that he accuses of censorship of "free speech"... of course. LOL
It's subtle, it's nuanced (of course) but none the less, Dave reprimands me for not blogging to his standards (repeatedly) and discredits me, ...then praises me in a couple of posts (and gives me credit) where I made an extreme effort to meet dave's standards, (even though in one of them I do describe liberals as communists, musta slipped by) then has the nerve to accuse ME of censorship!
Classic hypocritical rhetoric from the left.
Supporting free speech as long as THEY get to decide what speech is free.
Nice job dave, you illustrated perfectly how censorship works for the left. Calling Bush every name in the book is free speech, but asking a Democrat even a tough question...
("...don't tase me bro') much less calling them "moonbats" and "America haters", is considered a Zappable offense... especially in the liberal blog-o-sphere.
I have not advocated censoring the left, in fact I post and re-post their comments to help them get their message out. I figure the more people who know what these moonbats are saying, the better off we all are.
Meanwhile, we have a college professor teaching his personal Bush-hating moonbat politics in the classroom at the University of Central Oklahoma (a clear and rather obvious violation of inappropriate usage of free speech) and what do we hear from Oklahoma Lefty? (Cricket noise)
Perfect, ...thanks Dave.
And this, boys and girls on the same day that liberally biased Columbia University is welcoming Jew hater/Bush hater/America hater Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to their campus to speak after liberal students at Columbia attacked the founder of the border patrol group "The Minutemen" on stage less than one year ago disrupting his speech.
Classic.
UPDATE: 9/25/2007- Now I learn that Oklahoma Lefty (dave) has been sneaking around copying comments from the Red S Tater comments sections and posting them on a blog where he knows I am not registered, do not frequent and do not post... since Jan 2007 thus not giving me the opportunity to respond or comment. More classic stuff.
Class dismissed, no running in the halls ...and have a nice day.
