Nah!! At the San Francisco Chronicle and various left wing sites, they are using a cute little widget thingy that deletes comments they don't like, but...and here is the whole point, the deletion doesn't show up for the commentator....only, I suppose if the commentator uses a different ISP address or computer. There are cookies to follow.
Hillary Clinton should be asked about this but probably won't be. However, I think this is pure silliness. But I bet those people who advertise on these sites might not think this is good business. Deleting comments without letting the commentator find out about it is deceit! But it is also deceit for the site to promote larger numbers than they have if, eventually, the deleted commentators drop off as they surely will. Foolish! This is crazy stupid to think preventing free speech on your site by deleting does away with it. Why else would they take this road? It is a road they think is less traveled....they forget about Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Muslim Brotherhood and, of course, their friend, Hugo Chavez. Start with the Net move on to guns. Different road, same end for the those that wish to dictate to us how to live.
The left has tried for decades to drown out any speech but theirs and it worked very well. The Internet has changed all of that. Not completely, but certainly has made it much harder for them to hide. I can not only read what they said, but often I can watch them say it. Then, I can watch as they change their tune and restructure what they said in print or video. But, their words live on and I can compare what they said yesterday to today and make up my own mind. I do not have to be a zombie. I have a brain and can use it.
What I truly have a hard time with is people I know who see storm clouds overhead on a clear sunny day! That scares me. I wonder what type of mentality you have to have to end up like the tinfoil hatted leftist loons.
