Joe Biden censors his blogs: what do you think of a politician who is against freedom of speech?
Biden is using his web-site as some kind of cheering section for his every utterance. He allows not contrary points of view and deletes any blog at odds with his own views. What do you think about this? Senator Biden pays for his web activities from donations made to his campaign. That makes it a public forum.

- Sounds like he is taking his anti-free speech cue from the tyrant of Venezuala, Hugo Chavez, who recently shut down t.v. and radio stations. The Democrats admire Hugo's rule wih an iron fist, hence their advocacy of a so called "fairness doctrine", which is anything but Washington, DC, May 22, 2007—The Venezuelan government’s politically motivated decision not to renew a television broadcasting license is a serious setback for freedom of expression in Venezuela, Human Rights Watch said...
- Did he delete your question? Could he?
- Oh no. I bet he's trying to figure out a way to delete this post on Yahoo Answers too. Get a grip. He is not against you speaking out. It's his blog and he can do what he wants.
- It is sort of like someone on the telephone you don't want badgering you with something you don't want to hear. You hang up on them. Have you ever done that? If so haven't you denied them their right to free speech? Maybe Mr. Biden is weeding out the legitimate questions from hate mail or the kooks. They all do it as they should. People of celebraty status get some real crazy stuff sent their way. Is that being against free speech. No it is not. The person sending is still able to send. If one deletes it that is his perogative. Do you read each and every email you are sent? Do you not delete those obviously scams from Kenya where some Barrister is going to give you money if you give him your private bank account number etc.? If a person owns a website or web page should they not have the right to do with it what they please? If one wants to edit or delete or be selective as to comments than it is their choice on the privately owned page.
- Joe Biden presents himself as a soulful democrat.. he is anything but..he is soul-less..his bigotry has hit Blacks..and Orientals..alike.. he was busted plagiarizing other's speechs ..offers balkanization of Iraq as originating and being called "The Biden Plan"... the dude is in constant re-election mode..takes money from industries in Delaware..like a thug steals lunch money from a grade school kid.. he is from an irrelevant State..that has almost no clout with the Electoral College..his state was actually won by Steven Forbes in one primary..which says a lot to me.. Delaware is a coalition of Gov't retirees in the South..and minorities in the North..he doesn't care what input comes from the State..just what money he can muster..
- I think there are a lot of forums for that already. I can understand where he is coming from: any candidate wants himself/herself to look good, especially on their personal website used for pandering their particular image to the public. Also, excessive trolling posts make your blog look unattended to, you know? That doesn't inspire a lot of trust for me in that person who supposedly cares about what other people think of them.
