They are crying "censorship" over the house leadership not letting the democrats send out highly dishonest flyers to their constituents. This situation sounds vaguely familiar, eh? The other DUmmies are calling it "fasicsm."

CENSORSHIP Dems Cry Foul Over GOP Interference With Medicare Mailers
Source: tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com
A bitter, behind-the-scenes fight over the GOP's Medicare phase-out plan has bubbled out into the open, and now Democrats are openly charging Republicans with censoring their communications with constituents.
Several House Democrats are petitioning House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), in a letter first reported by Roll Call, to step in and stop Republicans on the House Administration Committee from blocking Democratic Medicare mailers.
The controversy arose in the wake of the special election in New York's conservative 26th district, where Democrat Kathy Hochul defeated her GOP challenger, who supported the Republican Medicare plan. Before then, Democrats had fired off mail to constituents warning that the plan would "kill" or "end" Medicare, without objection.
Since then, several Democrats have seen their mailers delayed, with Republicans demanding strict revisions -- both to identical language they had approved before and even to milder critiques. Those Dems are crying foul.
Remember this from 2009?

Claiming the Ryan Bill would "kill and/or end Medicare" is a falt out lie, but the Dems consistently use fear, fear, fear as a weapon to keep their sheep in the fold, and all the while claiming it's the Republicans who use it. This is a perfect example to shove in their faces when they pull that nonsense.

You would think the same DUmmies who just yesterday said they want congress under oath at all times, would be thrilled that the GOP is trying to help keep the Dems from lying to everyone.
