How "liberal" of you! | Your sweeping generalities are getting old. I'm beginning to think you don't actually comprehend what I write. First of all, I never said I was for censorship, nor the suppression of freedom of speech. It's just that I think we all can agree on the fact that freedom of the press and free speech has a line. Otherwise we'd be seeing child pornography on day-time television. Second of all, my personal beliefs are irrelevant in the debate on hand. I was more exposing the complete idiocy and hypocrisy of labeling Chavez with the term of "dictator" for these reasons, seeing as the presidency in the United States has the same authority (actually more) to censor things that openly endorse and mobilize the illegal overthrow of the government, and in fact has used that authority many more times than Chavez.
