Republicans -- the other white meat.

I think this is a totally disgusting comment. Why would the paper allow this to be published?

Anytime you type in the word "disgusting" (without quotations) it comes up with the little icon.

WHY is that word censored anyway? I've always wondered about that.

I don't care for racist comments, but PC ness can go too far.
When I wrote for one of the local papers, a black person had used the word ghetto in a quote. I forget what the subject was.
So I wrote the exact words he had said as is customary, and the editors removed the word ghetto.
I think that was uncalled for, since it was part of a quote. I don't see what's so wrong with the word anyway.

The headline could just as easily be Cannibalism in quickly! That's offensive!
