IT AIN'T CENSORSHIP IF IT IS THE MARKETPLACE, IT IS IF IT IS GOVERNMENT
And even government action by the pressure of the bully pulpit is censorship. It is a threat by the power of the government. That's what happened to the radio jock that Hank discusses below. That's not what happened to the Dixie Chicks, Tim Robbins (what chill wind? he won't shut up) and Susan Sarandon. That's not what happened to Rush Limbaugh, who was steamrolled by a willing media that refused to even address the issue he raised and instead just said "you cannot discuss race in America". The radio jock was attacked by government officials who said he should be fired. Rush wasn't (although he was attacked by Democrat candidates Edwards and the Generalissimo we said he should be fired -- fine example for folks claiming that Ashcroft is ripping away your freedoms).

And by the way, Rush was wrong, but he wasn't "racist." McNabb isn't overrated because he is black, but because he's a nice guy and that's why the media want to see him succeed.
