It’s the start of Banned Books Week, kids, and the candidate of the future has joined in the fun. Apparently, Obama supports censorship. In Missouri, the Obama campaign has asked state officials “to target anyone who lies or runs a misleading television ad during the presidential campaign.” Now, who could argue with this. I mean everyone agrees on what “misleading” is in any given situation. (via View from the Foothills)

AFAIK, this is the best the other side could come up with. 1992, and the issue of whether books should be in a public library.
I suppose it’s only because I’m prejudiced and a partisan, but I sure think I see a whole lot of projection going on, on the left side of the spectrum.
Projection is one possibility. Another is that their rank and file believes in the same values as we do (or at least our rank and file – I never met any political leader, on either side). The only way to get elected is to accuse the other side of violating those values.
Which, BTW, bodes very well for the future of the country. When you have two parties with diametrically opposing values, you get a civil war. When you have two parties that fight over the details because they are mostly in agreement over the large picture, you get elections.
