Did the IJ pull the story of 2 deported and 2 left behind because:

You and I do not agree on most terms, but this cause I will unite for. For the deportation or against it, we should be able to freely and openly discuss the situation without censorship or fear of retaliation.

I didn't even get to see the follow-ups to my comments posted late last night. The comments are in my profile in case anyone wants to read them.

What did In Marin comment that could have influenced them to pull the article?

I was going to mention it as well.

It surely looks like the true feelings about illegals from a majority of Americans is'nt something They want Us to see, I guess.

If anything, it makes most Americans distrust the Liberal Media, and find other sources of news.
So in a sense, it actually backfired into Their Own faces.

We the, I noticed Your comment on the Homeless Guy went "Poof" as well.

Been communicating with the IJ on Twitter and here's what they say (Topix has nothing to do with it):

"Dozens of comments had been flagged by readers as offensive, and many more were blatantly racist hate speech, or worse. Considering newsroom staffing these days, we don't have the resources for constant monitoring, so we have to make choices. The IJ is developing its policy on monitoring & removing comments, & we welcome advice and feedback if you'd like to write!"

And this:

"Our new policies are about 2 days old, implemented because of community feedback. They're subject to change for same reason!"

Amazing. I read every post before it was pulled, and it wasn't "hate" apeech. People were happy that someone finally got what they had coming to them. Here for 18 years, and got deported. Geeeez.
Its only "hate" speech when liberal bleeding heart azszhowles don't agree, and thats a fact. Shame on Topix for bowing down to thwm. Its nothing more than politically correct censorship.

The sad part is that nobody I know -- and certainly those that posted before it was pulled -- is anti-immigration. This country was founded and built by immigrants. The LEGAL kind. Not illegals crawling across the border, mocking our laws, and poopin' out one kid after another after another to take advantage of a grossly perverted/liberal interpretation of the 14th amendment to the US Constitution which addressed citizenship to former slaves and their children. NOT Paco Y Maria sneaking in across the border, and hittin' a Dallas, Texas Hospital to drop another frog with Mamacita's hair still wet from the swim across the Rio ........Hey, Topix, you can't censor the truth forever. We all know what time it is, and so do you.

I started this poll in protest to the story being pulled because liberals/La Raza and God knows who else were offended by truthful and accurate comments. Its sad that so many people are made of porcelain and can't handle reality, and are so easily offended and bruised. We've become a society of "victims". Can't handle the truth? Get the sucker censored and pulled. And that is a sad commentary of what this nation has become. People are afraid to speak up. It's okay for the Raza's to slam us back, forward and sideways, but make a comment on 2 people deported after living here illegally after 18 years? Oh, God. No. Can't have that. It isn't cute, cuddly and La Raza doesn't like it. Tough schidt. I don't like illegal trespassers in my country. Period. Come here legally from wherever you come from, and I'll personally welcome you with open arms. Sneak in here and cry "foul" when you get busted? I'll treat you as the pond scum you are. Period. No apologies. THATS how I feel. This nation needs to stop kissing the hispanics' collective azses. I'll bet THIS will be pulled, too.

I voted. Due to security concerns, I will not reveal my vote. Let's just say Nancy Pelosi wouldn't be happy. But I would have added one more option. Someone has too much time on their hands. When you give people a little power, and then give them nothing to do, sh t like this happens!!!

That's true. You think the world is all f cked up. I don't. I believe we are living in the greatest country in the world. In the most prosperous period of history that the world has yet seen. Go to your nearest Mega-Safeway. Check out the unbelievable bounty available. Check out Best Buy. For $900 you can get a 50" plasma TV. Great-granddad most certainly would be envious. One thing is certain. We'll all be dead soon enough. So cheer up!!!!

Polls are damn near impossible to get off the ground. Just look at the one I created for you. It might go down as the only thread in the history of these threads to be on the board with zero comments. So, concerning your possible run for governor, I wouldn't quit my day job....
Tell me when this thread is updated!
