It's because "ci@lis" is contained in the work "soci@list" and this site had gotten lots of spam from people selling ci@lis, vi@gra and other types of pecker starch. It's therefore filtered. Try to type vi@gra (using the letter "a") and the same thing will happen.

Naw, it isn't that nefarious. There are spammers commited to selling those little blue dick starch pills. A spam bot sees the word C-I-A-L-I-S and crossed it out. I guess the spammers never got the memo that PC is a liberal cesspool and as such we have no need for the Republicans favorite drug of choice.

That's the cover story. Actually, the site is secretly run by Koch and Co and so any hint of the word is carefully - and believably - removed

Want to see something I found amusing the other day Pete?
The evil Koch bros came in 59th of the top contributors list. I always figured they had to be in the top 10.

I wonder where Duhmericans For Prosperity (the tax exempt bundlers for the Chuck and Dave club) rank? Oh, that's right they don't have to name or enumerate their members contributions.

A blatant abuse of IRS law. IMHO.

Exactly. That's why they (and many others like them) are squealing about a Treasury proposal to reign in tax exemptions for politically active groups hiding under the 501(c)(4) exemption.

An interesting article in the latest TIME abou the new gaggle of for profit political action committees that Citzens United has spawned. Frankly I wonder at the IQ level of anyone who would let some strangers come into his/her district and tell them how to vote. I'm with Tip O'Niell 'All politics is local' so piss off Chuck and Dave and you to Karl.
