It leads to the page concerning Bin Laden's demise, that's it.<br /><br />Now, let's assume for the moment that you copied and pasted what was actually on your screen.<br /><br />How does that compare to what is documented on this page, or in the two previous ones, with this moderator?<br /><br />- http://huff-watch.blogspot.com/2010/12/huffpost-enables-protects-one-of-its.html<br /><br />- http://huff-watch.blogspot.com/2011/02/huffpost-allows-banned-radical-leftist.<br /><br />- http://huff-watch.blogspot.com/2010/12/part-ii-huffpost-enables-protects.html<br /><br />And while you're at it, I'd like to see how FNC.com censored and banned the users who complained about this moderator. And how FNC.com protected that moderator, day after day, week after week, month after month, to keep verbalizing his threats and solicitations of murder.<br /><br />C'mon, go for it!
