Free Speech Lawsuit: NYC Bans '9/11 Images'

It seems that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg invokes certain freedoms only when they serve his 2012 agenda -- and freedom of speech is not high on his list. Doing away with term limits wasn't enough (which is why we are still suffering under his no-salt, no-trans-fat regime). He is now widening his ayatollah-like power-grab to imposing blasphemy laws (Islamic sharia laws) on the secular marketplace. Bloomberg's frenzied Ground Zero mosque push may have inspired al-Azhar clerics to oppose the Ground Zero Mosque, calling it a "a zionist plot."

Last month, I signed a contract with CBS Outdoor to run a "Preservation of Ground Zero" bus ad campaign. The campaign was paid for in full.

Here is the ad I submitted:  The ad was refused. When I asked on what grounds, CBS Outdoor told me that the city said that "images of 911 were not allowed."

I was floored. I said, "It is American history. How can it be banned? What about Pearl Harbor? Is that censored, too? On what grounds are 911 images banned? It is unconscionable."

The CBS Outdoor representative told me, "You can't run the plane

YUP! Good ole' Bloomberg. :loser:
He'll promote the mosque, but not any images of 9/11 because it's "insensitive" to the Muslim community. Why do you hate America so much Bloomberg, you dirtbag?!?! :bird: :censored: :bird:

It's free speech. I have no problems with it because we all saw 9/11 on that fateful day.

That is ridiculous.

Is this really true?
