CW sent me a message saying he had several complaints about one of my posts and as a result chose to remove it. Now I'm not going to pretend I'm happy but it's CW's blog and ultimately he is responsible. I disagree but I understand (what with CW being a DC power player with a rep to maintain etc.). And I'll be the first to say I sometimes cross the line of propriety. I can be insulting and profane but as I've said before when this happened before, if someone has a criticism then let's hear it, just make a comment.
In America we can say whatever the hell we like and everyone else has a right to criticize as much as they like. That's the way it works. That's what it's all about. But working behind the scenes to censor someone's opinion is just un-American. So whoever went whining to mommie is just a cheese eating, dime dropping little snitch, in my humble opinion. The rule is you never squeal unless it's a big deal, otherwise you're just a punk.

I don't comment much, but I follow your posts, Hammer. I think you're a bit too easy on the Obama Administration (you sugar coat things), but other than that I have no beef. And no, I wasn't the rat ba$%ard snitch.
CW is an inside the beltway type (on the outside) but he knows which side is up.
Hammer--I've told you many times in the past, I love what you do for this blog. You've got an innate sensibility and a wide-ranging set of interests. But you sometimes let your evil twin get the best of you, and both of us know that as a southern gentleman, the language you used to describe the Senator from your state was unacceptable, no matter how much we mutually disdain her. Again though (and as I think I indicated in the note I sent you), the people who approached me thought that I HAD WRITTEN the posts, and their complaints were made straight up to me to my face. So in a sense, your desire for cosmic righteousness was well served.
CW, who would be dumb enough to think you wrote my stuff? Your style of writing is insightful and well considered. Mine is redneck angst against the establishment. I am a radical Jacksonian Democrat with not a compromising bone in my body. You are...well not that.
You cut me out CW. I wanted to see my comment in print!
Last comment you made Uncle Willie was on 28 October and it appears exactly on the post in which it was submitted...Day 5 of my trip to Berlin. I have no record of any comment since then.
I can't find Oct.28th post, your day 5 of your Berlin trip but, I told "Hammer" to get a life when he pasted your sister with a Kennedy remark.
Fifth post from the top of the blog, you're right there in the comments.
I am offended by the "F" in this post's title. Isn't there a government agency who can protect us from this kind of harmful sentiment?
Jesus Christ can't a poor dumb redneck rag on a highly intellectual, ex-Navy Commodore without provoking all this rage? And beside Uncle Willie, my sister is hotter than CW's sister and she's 63 years old!
Found it. I was looking in the wrong place. Shame on Uncle Willie! Sorry 'bout that!
Hammer:
I'll own up. I thought your post was profane, ill-tempered and unworthy of the Conservative Wahoo and manifestly against the blog's posted rules. I told CW so because I consider him a friend and because it's his blog, not yours. CW has a perfect right to take down posts that fail to meet his criteria. And it's not censorship - at least not in the 1st Amendment sense. It's a property right. Surely I thought that would be comprehensible to the readers of this blog.
