I am fairly new at Yahoo Answers, but I have already witnessed this several times. If this is really true perhaps I should quit wasting my time with a system that only allows one side of an argument to be presented.

Yahoo deletes a lot of question from both sides.
And most of the deletions are stupid.

I've noticed this too. I'm sure it's something that you'll never get an honest answer to, at least from Yahoo.
I also find it curious that there's a couple people allowed to keep posting, especially in the military section after the number or reports made against them. Yes, they're entitled to their view, but bashing America and the troops (wishing they were all dead) is just wrong. One in particular has been reported several times for his comments, especially those that he changes words to copyright news material on. Yet, Yahoo has refused to do anything about it.
It's my feeling, that Yahoo hires people to stir the pot. They pay them to piss people off. There is no other excuse for certain ones being allowed to post and some not-so questionable ones deleted. I think Yahoo is backing the Dems and if you watch long enough, you'll see it.

First of all you need to except the fact that Yahoo is just a program.
It will delete anything reported 4 times. try it on your other pseudonym.
As for liberal bias. You obviously have never been to Sunnyvale.

Yahoo has no part in deleting them... they are flagged by the majority of the users here which happen to be liberials. (not saying anything but a facts, i dont mean anything bad by this) The more flags something get the sooner it is removed and since a more liberial audiance is present you'll see conservitive slants flagged sooner.
But political banter between the left and the right has no place in yahoo questions. People who want to troll (try to start a flame war) need to find their respective forums to talk about stuff like this.

I think Yahoo has a liberal agenda. You should have seen all of the Conservative views being deleted the day Hilary Clinton's question was profiled.

Yahoo is obviously liberal biased. Look at what they do to my questions. I even put links and facts on there, but the question gets removed before I even get the violation notice.
Keep fighting the good fight, if one liberal comes to the good side it was all worth it!

That's because liberals hardly ever advocate violence as a solution to problems. Racists, sexists and homophobes can also almost exclusively be found in the conservative camp. Also, liberals tend to be more respectful in expressing themselves.
I don't want to overgeneralize, some conservatives are able to have a level-headed, respectful discussion about issue, but a lot of others are incapable of doing that. You might want to wonder why.

Don't you get enough conservative slant from the five major networks? Do lies, deception, rhetoric, and bi-patisan bashing need to be focused in every political arena? I don't think so. It's on thing to print a slanted question--it's another to state a bold faced lie as a truth--maybe Yahoo can tell the difference!!

As someone who regularly participates in Yahoo Answers, your observation is incorrect. If you have seen more conservative questions deleted, it is because more of them violated the Community Guidelines.
