Yahoo Agrees to Censor Chinese Portal
Bonker writes: "This article at Salon indicates that Yahoo, as part of a larger pledge to 'purge the Web of content that China's communist government deems subversive', has agreed to censor 'pernicious information that may jeopardize state security and disrupt social stability' from its Chinese portal. Yahoo is one of about 300 other ISPs and websites who have signed the 'Public Pledge on Self-discipline for China Internet Industry'."
As Lenin, that hideous creature of Evil, might have said: China's Useful Idiots.

What a lovely troll.
China is a communist nation. You must have posted because you think this is somehow a bad thing. Yet from you comment I assume (please correct me if I'm wrong) that you are a democrat. Now, who do you think is more like the communists, the Democrats or the Republicans?
Campaign Finance Reform: Limits free speech close to an election (John McCain is a Democrat btw)
Fairness in Broadcasting Act: Limits speech on the radio.
Quotes:
"We can't be so fixated on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans" - Bill Clinton
"You know the one thing that's wrong with this country? Everyone gets a chance to have their fair say." - Bill Clinton
If the personal freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution inhibit the government's ability to govern the people, we should look to limit those guarantees. - Bill Clinton
We must stop thinking of the individual and start thinking about what is best for society." Hillary Clinton
Although it seems clear to me that all politicians seek power through control and subjugation of the populace, the Democrats are obviously (to me) the worse of the two. I challange anyone to rebut this by posting similar quotes by Bush or Ashcroft.
The bottom line is, I'll gladly take 10 years of Ashcroft as Attorney General than 4 years of pretty much any democrate as president.
