Brandon Fox follies, Vol. 3

PolitiFact thinks I'm on some kind of roll with posting things Brandon Fox and others mustn't see.

Blue pill:


Red pill:


The conversation as it might have appeared at an uncensored discussion board:

Brandon Fox
Well the folks at the SEC were busy downloading porn while our financial system collapsed. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/sec-pornography-employees-spent-hours-surfing-porn-sites/story?id=10452544 And some people want less regulations!?!... It would appear that less regulations are a big part of what caused this mess in the first place. Maybe we should let oil companies fill out their own safety inspection reports as well. Wait, they did that too?!? http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/05/25/eveningnews/main6518694.shtml Maybe when a few more oil rigs blow up we'll figure this stuff out. Less regulation my ass. They have had almost NO regulation and the lowest tax rates since the 50's. Corporate profits are at record levels. But maybe THIS TIME, if we just give them another ten percent tax cut, they may create a job or two. I mean, we can just take the money from programs like medicare, right? Stupid.

The brilliant Brandon Fox is at it again, writing:

The SEC is the regulatory body. Apparently we need a regulatory body to regulate the SEC. And to keep that regulatory body from watching porn (or some other related flub), maybe we need a third regulatory body to regulate the former ... and so on.

But Brandon Fox is apparently immune to the fact that the attempt to regulate didn't work. It wasn't the lack of regulations. It was the ineptitude and indifference of the regulators.

Again, the good folks at PolitiFact apparently feel that Brandon Fox and others need to be shielded from my contribution.  And clearly the censorship is not the result of a policy forbidding coarse language or personal insults.  In this case the original post was apparently visible to all for a time (I checked for its presence via the organizational FaceBook account for which I administrate).  Hours later, it was invisible to the general public.
