Now that Facebook’s political practices have gotten their time in the spotlight, Twitter’s censorship of the right has come under scrutiny, with even members of Congress weighing in on what the social media giant marks as “inappropriate.”
The latest salvo comes from a familiar source — conservative actor and Twitter pundit James Woods, who noted that he had run across a soldier saluting a flag at half-staff that was flagged as offensive content.

Being a classy kind of guy, Woods took the news graciously and responded with best wishes. But as he recounted the response, he also dropped in a tart reminder of exactly what liberals miss about the whole “patriotism” thing. – READ MORE
