Change.gov website deleting anti-Warren threads
Not good news.

People are claiming that their threads are getting deleted - http://change.gov/page/content/discussservice

1. I wonder if the threads were laced with profanity and threats
And nasty things about Obama? :shrug:

4. I don't see that, I see dissent. I see vicious comments removed, just like DU.
It would be wrong to leave everything up, irresponsible, it's not a problem.

8. Doesn't the site allow registered users to voted down unpopular threads?
Isn't that what happened to the ones about the birth certificate?

9. Nice job. Thanks for sharing. Any idea what was in the deleted threads?
If they're anything like I'm seeing around here, prolly some of them needed to be deleted.

10. Numerous
dissents are left for all to see. I wonder why theirs were so "special" to be deleted?

11. They don't delete dissenting opinions.
They delete profanity and derogatory language.

As long as people are respectful, comments aren't going to be deleted.

If people are on there telling Obama to go fuck himself for picking Warren, obviously that comment will be deleted.

12. I see lots of dissent in the posts that are there. Maybe the ones that were deleted were ones

that violated the terms & conditions for posting. If they're anything like some that have been in GD, I would not be surprised.
