Do you think the US government will allow the freedom of speech when a particular group is
advocating the 911 attack?
These folks are pretty done the similar thing to China, they have crossed the red line, that's why they got banned for voicing their opinion.
If a particular group is advocating 911 attack - they will be tried in a trial first. If found guilty they will be punished - newspapers will report it , people will talk about it and write messages on facebook/twitter uncensored.
On the other hand . How many of you chinese mainland citizens (not sitting in western countries) can openly criticize their leaders , their policies , their track-record & their practices ..Can a citizen in china openly do that against Hu Jintao or against the new princeling Xiping ? Can they hold a rally - and call out openly Governments faults in public ? I bet you would have the police knocking on your doors - and then if you are lucky maybe you can a take a leaf out of the blind lawyers book and run to US embassy !!
I do remember a saying that i heard from a Chinese man working in our Org -

Mr Chen said - I was extremely very happy in China. I have my family over there. There is no problem.
We asked - Were you happy with oppurtunities in China ?
Mr Chen - Yes Yes very much - China is doing great. There is no problem
We asked - Are you happy with your governement ? With your living Conditions ?
Mr Chen - Government is awesome. Living conditions are amazing. After all we hosted Beijing Olympics. There is no problem
We Asked - So what is the problem Mr Chen ? Why did you move out ?
Mr Chen - The problem is - ' I cant say there is a problem' in China.
