OPRAH MESSAGE BOARDS BLOCK CLINTON & MCCAIN SUPPORTERS & REMOVES THOUSANDS OF POLITICAL THREAD DISCUSSIONS

In the ultimate act of censorship, the Oprah Winfrey message board moderators have removed hundreds of thousands of political threads and blocked Mccain and Clinton supporters from posting on the once active Local Politics site. The Oprah Winfrey website is an integral part of the Oprah Winfrey show and magazine and includes a message board which has hundreds of topics for discussion, including the most popular, local and world news. The political threads at last count had 3/4 of a million views with thousands of active threads and discussions. The discussions were lively, informative, and at times heated as the posters worked their way through the historical primaries into the start of the general election. Many of the threads were picked up by media and local Internet news organizations, as was the " No More Burkas " thread about the disillusionment of women in the Democratic party. It seems now, in following a frightening Internet trend, Ms Winfrey , has decided to block political discussion, in hopes of securing her chosen candidates election to the Nation's highest office. The reason, to me at least, is that if the dissemination of information is blocked, Barack Obama has a better chance to win. Is this censorship of our basic first amendment right of Freedom of Speech, as well as shutting down active political dialog a mandate from the Obama camp or from the vocal supporters while the campaign stands in silent acquiescence? In either case it is disturbing and should give the American people a glimpse into a Barack Obama presidency.
