Congresswoman Corrine Brown was censured by Congress and had her remarks stricken from the Congressional Record for saying this:

I come from Florida, where you and others participated in what I call the United States coup d’etat. We need to make sure that it doesn’t happen again. Over and over again after the election when you stole the election, you came back here and said get over it. No we’re not going to get over it and we want verification from the world.

Dangerous Citizen is hosting a video of Brown’s statement.

Augustin Blazquez says the American Film Institute rejected his film Covering Cuba 3: Elian for being “too controversial” while showcasing Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11, which Blazquez has obviously never seen as he calls it “anti-US-soldier”. The documentary is said to be a harsh appraisal of the Clinton administration and the US media for giving Castro’s Cuba more respect than it deserves.

Oddly enough, I came across this story by way of the decidedly left-wing Project for the Old American Century while searching for information on the Corrine Brown incident.
It looks like they just jumped on a story about a film being rejected for “criticizing the White House” without reading the article to find out it was critizicing the Clinton White House.

While on the subject of censorship, it’s worth noting that USA Today hired Ann Coulter to write columns on the Democratic Convention and then fired her when she submitted Ann Coulter columns. This is like when
MSNBC fired Michael Savage for doing the exact same stuff they hired him for. What did they expect?

Also worth noting is Reporters Sans Frontieres’s concern that Google might join Yahoo in censoring the Internet for authoritarian governments.
