In Andyland Huffpo is censoring prayer and the bible,imgjust like all liberals.img In reality Huffpo pisses on 9/11 truthers. UPDATE: Andy doubles down on the irony: "one's defense of the importance of free speech does not mean that one agrees with everything said."img UPDATE 2: "We've had liberal editors and even Administrators since the beginning and I can't think of a single editor who was censored for his ideas"img That's a rather amusing thing to say on a website that includes "Liberal vandalism" and "Inserting liberal multiculturalism/world view into articles" as standard block reasons.

Ken makes it easy on us when he points out that a google search of "Obama and incompetent"img returns 900 thousand hits! He must not have looked any further, because he didn't notice that a google search of "Bush and incompetent" produces 1.3 million hits. MOAR INSANITY from Ken: Kenservative wants to try out "Obama and evil"img and got 41 million results. Hey Ken, try searching "obama and good" and you'd get three times more.

The president should listen to everyone exceptimg those "hate filled" atheists, of course.

39
