Soviet Stalinist State of AmeriKKKa Censors Free Speech while erecting
KGB-Homeland-Security-Apparatus

The Republican-Guards Regime of the Stalinist-Style Government of
Comrade George W. Bush uses Mass Deception Propaganda, such as the
'Citizens for a Sound Economy' to subversively intervene in Oregon
Politics, with A Hilton-Marriott hotel owner on CSE's board of
directors, but disallows billboard near the One-Party-Nation
Convention... Coupled with the Tobacco-Fortune director of CSE helping
promote Corporate-Welfare $762,000,000 "buyout" to pay for the
tobacco-industry moving its very profitable growing offshore to
Brazil... The Orwellian double-speak of the Republican-Guards Regime
of the Soviet Repulican Party is illustrated by this news item...

Banned billboard

News flash: Project Billboard, a group of Bay Area women started by
chef Alice Waters, thought it had a deal to display an anti-war
message in Times Square during the Republican National Convention in
September. But the billboard owner, a division of Clear Channel
Communications, abruptly decided the cartoonish bomb image on the
display would be inappropriate in New York City.

Background: Since when has Clear Channel worried about propriety and
taste? This is the same media mega-company that owns local radio
station KNEW and put a huge billboard of Scott Peterson along Highway
101 (just as the jury was about to be selected) with the words "Man or
Monster?" in huge letters -- along with a toll-free number for a
call-in poll.

Upshot: There are several disturbing aspects to this story. For one,
it is a sad commentary on the state of free speech in this country
when an anti- war message (with the words "Democracy is best taught by
example, not by war") is blocked because it includes an illustration
of a bomb. Also, it underscores the danger to dissenting voices when
one media company becomes too dominant. Fast-growing Clear Channel
owns or operates more than 1,200 radio stations, 39 television
stations and has 776,000 billboards worldwide. Clear Channel should
show its commitment to free expression by allowing the anti-war
billboard, uncensored.
