Yelp has done this on continuous basis, that is a fact. I have seen a lot of yelpers that happen to be located in San Francisco comment in all 50 states, and not ONE of them is filtered.
Second, YES I DO LISTEN TO TALK RADIO A LOT! I sure as hell don't watch MSLSD, PBS, or NPR for that matter.
The reason why I stated it was the Store of Michelle Obama, is because they don't have ANY NOT ONE 20oz Coke, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, A&W, or Sprite. ALL THE HAD WAS DIET EVERYTHING. And they are a supermarket, not a health foods store. You know who is the food/drink n**i besides Bloomberg? Michelle Obama. Do you live under a rock? I don't know. But you, must be representing the all mighty I hate America "Yelp" Are you from California?
Must be wondering why the state is in shambles.
People who run yelp are a part of it.

Agree with last poster. Why on earth would any review of any local business require any mention of the President's wife, let alone one likely to trigger the site you're posting to filtering your post out for whatever reason? Going off on irrelevant tangents on a post like that tends to mark a poster as a nutjob, making it likely your post will not make it through.
I'm no fan of Yelp, and take it on faith they probably do at least to some degree what a lot of grousers say they do, but in your case, it appears they had good reason.

Why in the world would a review of Culebra Food Market on Austin Highway require even a mention of republican politics or Michele Obama? Are you so wrapped up in politics that you cant express a thought on anything without disparaging your political enemies?
Boycott a review site because they filter your reviews for political content? Maybe they just think you're a political crank, without much to say that advances the basic aims of their website. Ever consider that?
No, prolly not.
