Does McCain, Palin,Bush want to censor people using terrorist labels, witch labels, and "red scare" labels? ?
A common censorship tactic is to demonize people who support a viewpoint so no one will bother to investigate that viewpoint thoroughly. Accusing people of witchcraft was used in the Salem Witch trials to get them killed for selfish reasons under the cover of an accusation for witchcraft, including stealing their land or title or just killing someone you hate (Read the book "The Crucible" or google its synopsis ). Joseph McCarthy scared people with Communism, and put people on trial for considering it as a possibility. Yet look at the movie Sicko or its synopsis on the web, and it will tell you that Michael Moore took Americans to Cuba to get free healthcare that America refused them. It also exposes the fact that Nixon's role in starting the healthcare mess of today was to support a system that yields high profits and gives little care. It shows you all the tricks used by healthcare providers to get out of paying for your care once you sign up, which Obama talked about two debates ago. Not to mention, drug companies charge an arm and a leg only in America. In Canada and Europe, a health problem does not mean that you have to lose your house and savings especially on expensive medicine. The part that stuck out to me is that one man was allowed to die because they denied him treatment and the other had to choose which of his two severed fingers he wanted to reattach because it was so expensive. The witch hunt label, well Palin's pastor who she credits for using voodoo to get her to become Governor used the witch label to demonize a woman in an African village and to make people stone her and run her out of the village. I put up a post on it, and a Republican who was scared to use logic used a racial epithet and instead of banning him I had my question erased when I reported him. Well anyway, what do you think about using labels to silence people?
