Why is AOL suppressing THIS webpage?
http://www.angelfire.com/creep/gwbush/remindus.html

If you haven't seen this, you should.

It's a moving condemnation of Bush*- damning him and his adminstraion with their own words.

A friend of mine says AOL will not let this link go through their Email police.

What are your thoughts?

1. AOL is tied to Michael & Colin Powell

3. If AOL was a Woman.....
...she'd be in the center of times square, on her back, with a sign
that reads " Come and get it...Just pay as you enter"

4. I'd like to see some verification of the e-mail claim, personally.
Do other angelfire-hosted pages work?

5. SPAM filters?
Probably need to revise the subject and message base so it doesn't appear to be SPAM. Maybe try "Thanksgiving Dinner" in the subject line.

6. I somehow missed this
and just posted the same link a few minutes ago. Could you provide any further confirmation of AOL blocking the link? Any other information on AOL's Thought Police blocking "political" stuff would also be appreciated.

8. Here's an example
For the past several weeks, in AOL's From The Left chatroom, there have been conversations about CBS cancelling the Reagan mini-series. Several times I've tried to enter into the room: "I'd much rather see a mini-series on Iran/Contra." Everytime I typed that sentence and hit enter to put it into the chatroom, nothing would show up. So I asked several fellow lefties to try doing the same to no avail. Apparently, they've filtered the words Iran/Contra and you can't discuss it in, at least, the FTL chatroom. It will go through in all caps though. Weird, huh?

15. Can't discuss Iran-Contra? No street protests without government spies.
At least we're making Iraq a free nation.

7. Send them a message
Ask why they are censuring the link.

Ask point blank if they are only showing pro * stuff like Fox.

Ask them if they are under the control of Rupert Murdock.

I just did that, we shall see if any of their young front men answer.

9. my thoughts are: why is anyone still on AOL ?
I honestly cannot see any reason for them to still be in business.
