When poor Milo was stopped from speaking at Berkeley, that was censorship, plain and simple. All the people on the right agreed it was so. Now that he's been disinvited from speaking at CPAC (I wonder if he had already been paid his appearance fee, and will CPAC ask for it back?) and lost his book contract (same question about any advance Simon & Schuster might have paid to Milo), I'm sure that in the spirit of their own integrity and philosophical consistency, they'll be shutting down CPAC and demanding that Simon & Schuster publish Milo's deathless prose. Because it's like totally censorship!
