Denver Post BlogHouse Censors Eran Jada
I have been posting more on the Denver Post BlogHouse than I have on my own blog. Shame on me. However, I found I needed to comment on a blog that was so racially biased and full of liberal generalizations that it made my teeth grind while reading the nonsense. The blog is by Dani Newsum, aka D.Note.
I have been following her for a few months now, and I am convinced she is a racist and extremely liberal. Both of those things bother me, but they are not so unusual from a liberal newspaper like the Denver Post.
In one of her recent blog articles titled, “McKinney and Kennedy: a tale of two congresspersons,” she gave the impression the white police officer stopped McKinney because McKinney was black. I had to comment on this ask where the evidence was that proved her statement. I also mentioned how tiring it is to hear black people always playing the black card against white people.
I never see white people who give a damn whether you’re black, yellow, red, brown or white, but I constantly hear black people claiming prejudice against the whites. This leads me to believe that the real prejudice comes from the blacks and not the whites in most cases.
In fact, I believe most blacks forget what Martin Luther King Jr. said in his “I Have a Dream” speech. For example, he said the following:
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.”
and
“Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.”
So, I made my comments and asked for proof of the white officer’s intentions. I know there is no proof and my point was to ask why claim racism if there is no proof? In my opinion, an unjustified racist claim like this, promotes unease among the different races. After all, any comments like these are absorbed without thought by liberals. They readily accept it as true, no questions asked. Then the misinformation spreads like a disease across the country. The cure for this disease is pointing out misinformation and asking for proof. Truth acts as an antibiotic for the disease of liberalism; if you could only get the sick to take (understand) the medicine, perhaps they would get well.
However, in making my point, I used the word “crap” twice in one sentence, as was so aptly pointed out by a commenter in the article to the Blog Superintendent. Shortly thereafter, all my comments to this article were removed. I left new comments, much more subtle in nature, and they too were later deleted. I tried a third time, no ranting or raving or name calling or cursing, and it too was deleted.
Then, they moved Dani Newsum’s blog to a new site under the BlogHouse and comments to her current article, “Star Spangled Blather”, have been turned off. If Newsum’s blog contains such volatile information that the comments need to be turned off, why is she allowed a blog in the first place? Oh yeah. I forgot. She’s liberal and anything she writes is ok to publish. It’s the non-liberals that need to be censored. Well, that’s a bunch of crap and we all know it. Ops, there I go again. I hope you weren’t too offended by that.
Anyhow, I have written the BlogHouse Superintendent a letter and I’m posting it below. I hope to also post the answers to my questions, if I get a response.

BlogHouse Superintendent,
I’m sorry to see you have begun censoring non-liberal comments from the Denver Post Blog House. I am speaking specifically of comments I left on the D.Note blog of Dani Newsum titled Mckinney and Kennedy: a tale of two congresspersons.
My comments were never censored until someone complained of my use of the word “crap” in my comments. I can’t see this as a reason censorship, because “crap” is not a word normally censored. In fact, I heard Matt Lauer, this morning on the Today show (5-10-6), use the word “bastard” and it wasn’t censored. I often hear the word “bitch” on television and it’s not censored. I doubt I would ever use “bastard” or “bitch” in my comments, and I’ve never used “shit” or “bullshit,” which may have been more accurate than the milder version I used.
My point is that I don’t believe I was censored for using the word “crap.” I believe I was censored for non-liberal comments. After my “crap” comments were deleted, I wrote a new comment and tried to tone it down as far as I could. However, I did ask for proof that the white police officer stopped the black Congresswoman McKinney because she was black. This comment was also removed as well as a third calm, questioning comment to Ms. Newsum.
Why is Dani Newsum allowed to make racist comments merely based on emotion with no evidence to back up her claims? Why am I censored for calling her on her racist claims and asking for proof? I am not the only one who has noticed her racism and made reference to it in the comment section of her blog.
I know liberals readily accept emotional claims without requiring proof from the accuser. However, I was not brought up to accept things just because someone says it’s a certain way. I like evidence to support my beliefs, something that is totally missing from most of Dani Newsum’s columns.
The Denver Post is a liberal newspaper, but I am always amazed at liberals making whatever comments they wish to make, while asking that the opposing view be censored. Free speech is for liberals only? I think your censorship is obviously slanted toward the idea of ‘no free speech for non-liberal ideas.’ It’s a shame you don’t believe in equality for non-liberals. At least, that is how it appears to me, and I’m sure it appears that way to many others.
D.Note’s blog was moved and I would guess it’s running on a separate version of WordPress so you can stop comments from people like me without affecting my ability to post on your main blog site. In fact, D.Note’s latest entry in her new blog is blocked from anyone making comments. If her writing generates comments that are so touchy you can’t print them, why is she allowed to blog on your site?
If I am allowed to continue posting comments, I would appreciate seeing a written copy of your rules for posting, so I can make an effort to write within your guidelines. Heck, I’d like to see a written copy regardless of your decision to allow me to post comments in the D.Note blog.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this and I eagerly await your responses.
Thanks,
Eran Jada<—319034789f0c413c60e07e15fc82b0fd—>

Update: I never did receive an answer to my email.
For those who care about liberals banning speech by conservatives, please join me in cancelling subscriptions to the Denver Post newspaper. It’s seems to be the only way to communicate discontent.
