It's only hypocritical if the two THEYS are the same, which in this case they are not. |

For all I know, their respective views never coincide. I’m afraid I must stand by my assertion that, in the specific case of the Coulter comments, the views of Emily, TK and ME-L did coincide. (Although, for all I know, they have never all met either). |

Naunihal @ 10/17/2003 04:05 PM (Oct 17 2003 21:06 GMT) - I meant censorship in a strictly "technical" sense -- opting not to publish something. It is certainly their prerogative to do so. Nor am I defending the use of "she needs to get laid" as a political argument. But neither is Boondocks, in fact, they're making fun of it. That's why I find it odd that this crosses the line for the Wash Post. |

I think he needed one nudge telling him not to post stupid bullshit while drunk, and he got two. Unfortunate, but I can no more delete my comment than Jon could. 2. |
