CABLEVISION SAYS FREE REPUBLIC IS A "HATE SITE"
Posted on 03/18/2010 2:54:41 PM PDT by 101voodoo
While downloading and installing (for my daughter) the free security suite offered by Cablevision to their subscribers, I noticed something which really annoyed me.
In setting up the configuration I chose to have the warning for objectionable sites activated. After I completed the configuration on all the aspects of the security suite I decided to go to the FR and see what was going on to begin the day. After typing the name in the search and punching go, I immediately was blocked by a pop up informing me that Free Rep was not available as it was a "hate site" and would require a password over ride. Amazed, I then entered "Democrat Underground" and after that "Daily Kos" and was allowed to navigate to those sites.
Those of you with Cablevision may want to do as I did and call customer service with a threat to cancel immediately all services if their parental control portion of the security suite is not immediately modified to remove FR as a "hate" site.

“You are criticizing others for doing the same thing you do!
Your responses on this thread alone makes you a hypocrite!”
Again, WTF are you talking about.

I clearly have more faith in and respect for the members of this site than you do. If you discredit yourself by your words perhaps you might consider taking responsibility.

If I were involved in that imbroglio I would have spent a as much time as needed to show “hateful” postings getting through “innocent” bulletin boards including BOR’s site.How about you instead realize that there are blowhards like O'Reilly - and you - who will always try to make pointless points.
But that’s just me, I don’t play defense.
Yeah, I'll give you that, you sure are offensive.

We all do because this is a FR...

For me...No More from Bob J!

It would make more sense if a few of the leftists were just banned.

I maintain that the United States Congress has become a hate group. It threatens those that do not agree, and will NOT listen to those that elected them.
The United States Congress hates those that ask only that the Congress defend and protect the United States Constitution.

No!
Let them speak their minds, that way we know what is in their hollow heads...
The folk on FR can tell the difference between blowhards and patriots.

I hear you. I do have mixed feelings about banning someone who has been with this site since 1997. Yet when a long time member is willing to entertain the thought that this is a “hate” site, I am more than dismayed. I am disgusted.

What gives YOU the right to try to quash free speech on FR? Based on your reply, do you think that the following quote is also an attempt to quash free speech on FR?
"And what gives you the idea that Free Republic is necessarily interested in "differences in opinion"? Are you one of these leftists who thinks that free speech applies here?"
