2004 Jefferson Muzzle Awards
un1xl0ser writes "The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression has released the muzzle awards for people who forgot that "free speech can not be limited without being lost". Check out the 2004 "winners". Famous winners include The U.S. Department of Defense and CBS."

What with the Slashdot Effect and all . . .
Q:How many libertarians does it take to stop a Panzer division? A:None. Obviously market forces will take care of it.
The front page says, "If you know of an act of censorship you believe is deserving of a Jefferson Muzzle, the Center encourages and invites your nomination."
To this end, I nominate the Slashdot Editors. Congratulations guys!
(just a joke folks...now watch this thread disappear due to the whims of mgmt)

I myself live in ________, WA and I'm so glad I live in a free country. I mean, I really feel for those poor people who don't have the __________ amendment to protect their speech in _____land.
However, I'm a bit concerned that our current ad_______ might be going slightly overboard with this Home_____ _______y thing. In particular, John A_____ is really a bit worrying.
But no matter, nothing can take our __ghts away from us, thanks to our Const______ that I'm sure everybody would defend with their lives should it ever be under threat.
Anyway, this is just my __ cents.
Regards, ______ _______

Reminds me of the time a school board of governors decided to try and ban sandals along with the usual types of clothing (baggy jeans, short T-shirts). As one governor pointed out that only trouble-makers with no respect for authority would want to wear such clothing, another governor nods her head solemnly and comments "Yes, Jesus wore sandals - look at what he managed to do".

Bush really bothers me but Ashcroft is the stuff of nightmares. Where's Emma Goldman when we need her?
Opps, got to go, there's someone at my door ...

Yeah, like their story about the kid who got harassed by a school administrator for wearing an NRA shirt to school.
I'm sick to death of hearing about that mewling little Communist, Charleton Heston, and all his pinko pals.

Moral : Violence good, boobies bad.
No no you didn't get it. The moral here is: while boobies are generally good, if you look at the boobies of a mobsters wife you get the living crap beaten out of you with a trashcan.
Makes a lot more sense that way doesn't it?
What a rotten party, have we run out of beer or something?
Children are born and spend a a long while sucking on tits, then their parents hide those tits from them for another 15 years, all the while they go from "not know what the big deal is" to being obsessed with them. Once they turn 18 they can now start seeing breasts again.
So, uh, why were they hidden for a few years anyways?
That's it, I'm moving to Brazil.

Canada is like the Usenet of the world. It has its annoyances but offers a lot of freedom. It's also largely ignored by American corporations and government, and that's a Good Thing, let's keep it that way.
When they came for Howard Sterm, I didn't speak up because I was not a drunken lesbian dwarf
.
Then they came for Rush Limbaugh. I did not speak up, as I was not a dittohead.
Then they came for Sean Hannity. I did not speak up, because I was not hannitized.
Then they came for me, and by that time there was nothing on the radio but polka shows.
Don't blame Durga. I voted for Centauri.

As did Bill Clinton. Clinton also ordered "Arkancides" and Bush assassinated black leaders in Florida to win in 2000. Elvis is alive, and Jews control the media. All of this is true. I read it on the Internet. The Internet would never lie.
