Join me in protesting. Are these boards being insidiously and inexplicably censored? SOCIALISM (that is, the word s.o.c.i.a.l.i.s.m) appears to be being censored in all posts. This is outrageous. Here's how it looks:

High Tea In SF
Obama was met in SF by hundreds of Tea Party protesters on Nob Hill last night. I don't think shays was able to attend.

Typically, RealAmerica relies upon the blogsphere for his news. I read the two blogs that you cited, then did my own search to see who else might have covered the President's trip to San Francisco and the demonstrations (note the plural) outside the St. Francis. Your sources talk only about conservatives who showed up (billed as "tea baggers", though none that I read who spoke with the media identified themselves as such), but there was a larger left-wing contingent of protesters right next to them in Union Square. Even FoxNews conceded that the anti-war, single-payer, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage group was larger ... just less focused. The problem with bloggers as your soul source of information is that they tend to forget to make any effort at objectivism, while college educated (for the most part) and professional journalists at least make pretenses of objectivity. For a couple of other versions of this story, please see the the report for KGO, the local ABC-affiliate (abclocal dot go dot com backslash kgo/story?section=news/local/san_francisco&id=7067308 ... I have tried to disguise the url to slip past the cctimes filter), the San Francisco Chronicle (sfgate dot com backslash cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2009/10/15/MNPS1A6G60.DTL), the Star Tribune (startribune dot com backslash nation/64462842.html).
It would appear from the more balanced reports that people from both ends of the political spectrum ... right AND left ... have grievances with what is happening.
So what else is new?
