        The White House fails to realize that Joe &amp; Joan Sixpack can see right through this censorship attempt. Joe &amp; Joan see a tinhorn  despot in a tinpot, wannabe socialist party trying to silence his main opposition. Joe &amp; Joan will wait this chump out, but the seed is planted in the back of thir minds: they might have to pull him down from his pedestal.
