I keep clicking 'show less,' but nothing happens.

Thirty-six minutes of Freedom Watch? No, anonymous Reason contributor, as much as I enjoy it, my eardrums simply cannot take 36 mintues of liberty shouted into them.

Speaking of freedom.

I was just over at the Washing Times site checking to see if anyone responded to the following post I posted over there only to find it was deleted and I have been banned from posting. HMMMMM!
Didn't the times endorse Romney? Why are they stomping on speech rights like lefties and ChiComs do? Pathetic!

Here's what I posted in the comments section of a piece about Newt.

Why wouldn't the establishment want Newt?

I say study his agenda very carefully and there has to be something they don't want because they know Newt can rally a majority of Americans behind him, twist arms as President and get things done unlike Obama he knows the in and outs. There has to be something Newt wants the establishment from BOTH SIDES doesn't.
Real reform?

As long as the conservative base behaves predictably they will have the MSM choosing their candidates for them by way of their predictable behavior.

If conservatives really want to see liberal heads explode within the MSM then nominate Newt and enjoy the show as the talking heads explode and demand conservatives play by their rules and behave predictably.

What the WT did speaks volumes about the GOP DC establishment insiders.

Here's the link I posted that at:

Negative ads taking toll on Gingrich

Wake up folks! The establishment types at the WT are now behaving like ChiComs in support of their guy Romney.

Hopefully people understand that the GOP's "anybody but Clinton" meme is what gave us Obama. Now they're telling us "anybody but Obama". 😮

Why are they stomping on speech rights like lefties and ChiComs do? Pathetic!

Please, please, please go learn the meaning of the First Amendment.

[Guest1776]

I understand the 1st and I also understand they own the site and can ban whomever they want. I'm just saying they are typical GOP establishment that hasn't been very distinguishable from Democrats in their spending sprees and now ChiComs in silencing dissent.

[Apatheist]

Then don't use "stomping on speech rights" because it it completely inaccurate. Say something like "why is the WT afraid of dissent" or something. Talking about rights where there are none makes you look like the leftie moron.

[Guest1776]

You get the point.

One quibble:

"Nor did [conservatives] say anything when Coulter defended the openly white-supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens (formerly the White Citizens Council) or suggested that Justice John Paul Stevens should be assassinated, because those things are apparently hilarious and not crazy."

Within that very sentence, there was a link to Little Green Footballs (which is conservative in the sense that water is wet) denouncing the CCC and Coulter's whitewashing of its record. There's also a link to a Fox News story about the poisoning joke, though admittedly that was more straight reportage than it was editorial.

[Eduard van Haalen]

That was supposed to be on the Coulter thread, drat.
