can imagine that this artist and others have infected other pages too, incl. Bush's page, and even Hitler's page. These pages should be *clean* from racist images that promote nothing Wikimedia stands for.
Like Wikipedia, Commons is not censored. I have an account there -
albeit
only with a handful of uploads, but I *will* vote oppose on any deletion
or
policy that seeks to impose political correctness on a media repository.
I
*hate* censorship and do *not* believe it should be selectively applied

people I disagree with or hold opposing beliefs to.

I fully agree. We should never delete images on moral grounds or political correctness. Unfortunately we have done so in the past.
