Shakesville deletes comment (again), bans me (Melissa McEwan)

Back in February of 2009 I posted "Shakesville deletes follow-up comments (Shakespeare's Sister)" about that site run by Melissa McEwan (of John Edwards infamy).

Now, as a follow-up, McEwan has deleted a recent comment I left there (below) and also banned me from leaving future comments.

This only matters if you've heard of McEwan or her site and think she has any credibility. If you have, please go right now and see the deleted comments page for why you can't trust anything you read there.

The post in question is "Thanks, Republicans" (shakespearessister.blogspot.com/2010/11/
thanks-republicans.html) in which she blames Republicans alone for what's discussed in "Some States Weigh Unthinkable Option: Ending Medicaid" (link).

I left the following comment to suggest that she broaden the scope of her blame; it was deleted and then I was banned:

How about reducing low-skilled - especially illegal - immigration? That would free up jobs and reduce spending. Yet, for some strange reason, sites like this support the opposite policy. I guess some things have a higher priority than others.

P.S. The last time I left a comment here McEwan or another admin deleted my follow-up comments. So, if you just see this comment and I don't reply to replies, that's probably the reason.

Obviously, it could be embarrassing for her if her audience finds out just how much of a lil fascist she is, and it would also be embarrassing if some of her audience got the idea that we should support low-wage American workers no matter the impact on the Democratic Party's quest for race-based power.
