Re: “ The problem is, the sight’s stated policy according to WND, is not to monitor the site. That seems to be the case.”
That is what they say, just like MoveOn.org said it didn’t see the hate speech on its site until it became a public scandal.
“So if we don’t like them leaving that stuff up, we should say something to them. If we don’t say something to them, aren’t we in effect allowing that stuff to stay up without trying to get it taken down? Someone could say we don’t mind it being there either. You’re admitting you saw it. You’re now admitting you left it there, without reporting it.”
During wartime, the only “report” a convoy commander gets that one of his ships has strayed is that of the torpedo that sinks it. A speeder’s first warning of a speed trap normally consists of the state trooper’s lights flashing behind him. Didn’t England lose the War of Independence because its soldiers insisted on marching around in bright red coats while beating drums to advertise their presence? Why do you think that I have some kind of duty to help the opposing side avoid the consequences of its bad actions instead of using those actions against it?
By this time, MyBO has gotten nailed for this hate speech so many times that it should have cleaned itself up and kept itself clean. The fact that it has not done so speaks for itself.
If McCain makes an error or misstatement, do Obama’s people give him a chance to do the equivalent of taking his move back? Do you remember what the Democrats did to Trent Lott for praising Strom Thurmond (noting that Thurmond renounced his pro-segregation positions decades ago)? Did Obama’s friend Al Sharpton counsel Don Imus before doing everything possible to wreck his career? Why should I warn Obama about the hate speech on his site instead of using it against him on the spot?
As I said, I did tell them about the libel of AIPAC (and I also told AIPAC). It took them more than a week to remove the comment in question, which suggests that keeping outright libel (at least of AIPAC) off the site was not among their highest priorities.
Thanks for the additional comments.
