Man, do I hate this kind of political censorship. Its wrong. Its stupid, It always backfires. Get tough. Get a backbone. Freedom of the press especially allows lampooning of all sides. Idiots. The "people who should be shot" are the morons at NBC who are discriminatory in their censorship of humor. Its not like there is a lot done at the expense of the democrats/liberals.
