Oh yes, it's the Democrats that have a history of monitoring what people say about their government.:rolleyes: With the notable exception of Wikileaks, I think the Republicans have been, by far, the biggest culprits in trying to control what we can say about the President and other high ranking politicians (I remember vividly, during the early post 9/11 days, people getting visits from the feds because someone overheard them say something negative about the way George W. Bush was handling the situation).
