Has the USA become like the Nazi's were.Supressing any oppositions to the "Ideals"
It seems the USA is more a milatray power than one talks of a nation that holds freedom of speech & the rights of the individule these days .....Your next election you best choose wise ...

It wasn't the government that banned them.  People that disagreed quit listening and some radio stations quit playing their music.  That is not censorship, people can stop listening for whatever reason they want and who you elect won't affect that.
