Soros-funded Media Matters still deleting comments

To the best of my knowledge, even the Huffington Post has published and not deleted the several comments I've left there, even on their moderated threads.

However, MediaMatters for America - the outfit that receives funding from George Soros - has deleted my comments in the past, and it looks like they've done it again.

The latest was on the thread 'Limbaugh blasted Mehlman's renunciation of GOP racial tactics: "Republicans are going to go bend over and grab the ankles"' (link). At that thread I left a comment with links to "NAACP Chairman Compares Republicans to Terrorists", this, and a couple other posts. Of course, there was no swearing, personal attacks, or anything remotely similar in my comment. Just the truth.

On the other hand, at the same time I left the following comment on the thread "ABC's Tapper misstated law on Rove's disclosure of Plame's identity" (link):

Jake Tapper used to be reliable, but he's obviously not on our side anymore.

What we learn: if you leave an informative comment at the Soros-funded MMFA, and it shows just how wrong they are, it stands a good chance of being deleted.

However, they don't understand satire, so that gets to stay.

On a related note, this puts them in the same scared-of-the-truth category as KoolAid Central.

I wonder why Soros' openness value doesn't apply to those who might sound like they're questioning its worth? How could I have been so uncosmopolitan as not to realize that those who teach us to value openness to everyhing, no matter how bad, are beyond the common plane where one can be refuted for holding to a contradiction in terms?
