Stupid. It will backfire on them.

Why do you say that? It's working perfectly.

“Send in the lawyers.”

Lawyers are most all Democrats.
Lawyers created the perverted, propagandized, PC state of America today.
Lawyers and pubic school teachers are public enemy #1 and #2.

Twitter and Facebook are real reasons for legitimate government oversight.

Maybe the right should do the same then. If they don’t suffer the same consequences they will keep doing it.

Funny how plenty of conservatives / Repubs are ‘accidentially’ banned, yet I can’t remember a single liberal to whom that has happened...

This is not America

That's actually more accurate than I think you know.

Look around you.

I went to my daughters college graduation last night. I'd say it was 40% "American names".

I'd say it was 40% full out Chinese names.

Then I'd wager it was 15% Indian names.

5% other-mostly Arabs/Muslims.

We are in a LOT of trouble.

That was just the undergrad. The upper level --maters, phds--I'd say that was easily 80% foreigners--mostly Chinese.

“They are not a passive publisher of content - by their active suppression of conservative views, they have become an information content provider and should be held legally liable for any illegal content posted on their site.”

I think this is the solution. As a “host” site, they have no responsibility for what gets published. But as an aggressively edited site, they are no different from the Washington Post. Liability. Sue them to hell.

He posted a sarcastic response about how we could “then get on about killing the jews”. Apparently that got flagged by the twitter auto-search system, and his account was suspended. It was unsuspended later, and does not on its face appear to be more than that.

There is no freedom of speech or thought. The ministry of truth is in control.

We’re posting on the solution. Free Republic should be expanded to accommodate the banned pundits. It can be Sherwood Forest for all the Merry Men.

“Time to start your own social media conservatives!”

Has anyone published a guide? What to do, how much it costs, etc?

I wouldn’t join any social media tweeting service that would have me as a member.

Funny you would paraphrase Groucho for that joke. He was in trouble with the FBI and Secret Service for disparaging Nixon and they took it as an actual death threat. In a 1971 interview, Groucho Marx told Flash magazine, "I think the only hope this country has is Nixon's assassination. ..

Madonna and that Kathie Griffith would be in prison garb by now by that reasoning.

I honestly don't know.

I loved the Marx Brothers. Couldn't stand Karl, though.
