Proving that Mehitable Storm is an equal opportunity gadfly, I have now been banned from posting on both Free Republic and Daily Kos. Now how, you may ask, was I banned from such a bastion of free speech as Daily Kos? Well, I dared to tell Michael Schiavo - yes, THAT Michael Schiavo - that he killed his wife and should rot in hell. Perhaps an indelicate thing to say, but - I believe it. Next thing I know, I'm being flamed and I can't answer back.

So I wrote an email to the DK people asking them what the hell freedom of speech was to them and how they differ from Free Republic.

This just makes me appreciate "4" all the more :)

At least I had the satisfaction of telling that bastard what I thought of him - you don't get that every day :) If only it was Bush...they'd probably send me to Mexico.

Hey maybe you need a star next to your name.. many here have been banned from TOS but I think you may be the only one banned from DK.

LMAO - Sometimes there's too much emphasis on the "hit" in Mehitable :)

Hell, I might be the only person banned from DK for all I know, but I'm really sad to see that their stand on free speech is just a pose with no substance. They have their pet issues and positions too, just like FR, and they're just as rigid. I hate hypocrisy and I tend to be....blunt.

I purchased a signed copy of co-author Markos's new book Crashing the Gate on Wednesday. I only had about a one minute chat with him as he was getting ready to address a bunch of kossaks. I complimented him on his dKos site which I visit several times a day as a lurker.

I don't get into the elections and politics, but rather the Bush scandal investigations mostly. They have intelligent researchers there. Plus, they disdain the neocons about as much as most of us do.

In general, I agree with you, but I've seen that when I've posted anything that varied from the liberal dogma, I'd get troll-rated or flamed. Most of my posts are anti-Bush which they love, but God forbid you make any comments about immigration, or anything that doesn't toe the liberal line - you'll either get flamed, or banned as I did. It might be a function of the admin moderator more than Kos himself, as sometimes the mods have a lot of power on these boards and if one of them has a particular passion for Michael Schiavo, which seems to be the case considering that all the comments were glowingly positive - well they can just dump you,and whatcha gonna do about it? There should be a review process on some of these forums for banning as I think they sometimes just reflect the bias of the moderator at the moment.
