1. If it mentioned Sen. Frist than that would be offensive...
but under that limitation we'd have to take down the senate website too.

Wish I'd seen it before the content was removed.

4. It was hysterical!
Very tongue-in-cheek and funny. I didn't see anything offensive whatsoever! It skewered Frist, to be sure, but no more than gwbush.com skewers *.

I am very upset about this, dang it!!!

2. It looks like Yahoo is hosting it.
It wasn't offensive. It was a parody. So, I guess Yahoo is now impeding its customers' First Amendment rights.

15. Well, that's nice
Yahoo is dead in my book anyway after I learned that loading Yahoo on my machine loads a super cookie which tracks everything that I do on the internet.

22. I've given up Yahoo as well
Won't touch them.

And now they are playing censors to political parody while they allow Yahoo to be used by pedophiles? Sure. Great folks over there at Yahoo. They can kiss my ass.

10. Two other commandments
And here's #7:
Disenfranchiseth all who are against thy will, so they might never know justice.


and #8:
Honor not the (formerly) sacred documents, for they speaketh only of secularity and promise liberties to the undeserving.

14. Okay, you'll have to explain that one to me
because it makes no sense. It wasn't offensive! If that site was offensive, then can we take down Free Republic, which is really offensive??

16. This Is Bullshit.
I found the SBD TOS as well and it basically sounds like they can pull a site for anything. Does anyone know if the site is being hosted by Yahoo or is only the domain registered with them? Also, does anyone know of any other political or religious sites that are hosted by yahoo? This looks like blatant censorship to me and Yahoo should be forced to release the site. The time for talk in this country appears to be nearing it's end.

17. I know. I consider myself very spiritual and I wasn't offended
It wasn't offensive at all. It was obviously a parody site, for crying out loud!

This is a Yahoo site to be sure. I'm not sure what other religious sites are hosted by Yahoo but it does call for more digging, doesn't it?

This is craziness!

19. Potentially offensive - hmm. Mind crimes??
Maybe they are going to round us up for what we might do - we might offend, we might do this or that.

Bah. Dammit.

21. Don't scare me like that!!
I was ready to fire off some pretty nasty emails to defend the right of Fristianity to continue!

So, are you tax exempt yet?
