They can't put every loon on who has their hat in the ring. Just because they don't give voice to this wacko or that wacko doesn't mean they're anti-free speech necessarily, just that they have limited space and they need to cut out people who are on the extreme fringe, like the KKK and like Ron Paul.

Darlings of the far, far left and right don't have any chance of winning anyway, and they're heard plenty.

All tho I am not a Ron Paul Fan.   Not a fan of anyone yet.   I believe that they should have included every candidate on the ballot or in the running.

"We report you decide" doesn't mean that they have to give voice to the KKK after all, no matter how much you say you want it to.



...actually, if a KKK candidate managed to get a significent poll rating, to not allow them to speak is to subvert democracy. The old phrase is apposite......i may not agree with your views, but i'll fight to the death to defend your right to express them.
