So the new standard is no "anti-Islamic messages." The terrorists are winning since Obama became president.

[historyrepeatz]

Freedom of speech my azz.

[exPBRrat]

Well if he does burn the Koran in the spirit of brotherly love I’ll pass water on it.

[anniegetyourgun]

This is no longer the USA.

[anniegetyourgun]

Just 1st step in pulling church websites that speak against homosexuality.

[historyrepeatz]

Is saying “Death to Islamic Extremist Terrorists” Anti-Islamic hate speech? Is condemning Adolf Hitler “hate speech”?

[Hodar]

I’ve no problem with this, as long as it’s not ‘selectively’ applied to their clients. The ISP has a right to deny service to someone who abuses their Code of Conduct contract.

Now, if this ISP is hosting flag-burning, bible desecrating and hate mongering websites - then we have a problem.

The church involved should ask WikiLeaks to host its site.

[GeronL]

I am sure they would do the same for Christians.... um... okay never mind

[freekitty]

True.

[surfer]

So it takes the next step on censorship...Rackspace should be boycotted...

[newheart]

And we can all be sure that there would NEVER be anything that qualifies as ‘hate-speech’ on this website: http://www.buzzflash.com/
(also hosted by Rackspace)

I don't like what the pastor is doing. But this kind of thing pushes me to line up behind him. Its the whole "don't like what you say, defend your right to say it" kind of thing.

One of these days very soon this very tactic is going to be used on us.

[Palter]

You don’t have freedom of speech. That depends on your terms of service with your web hosting company.

Just like FR. You speech is monitored by Moderators, private property, no difference.

[dalebert]

ya censorhip...no freedom of speech.

[dila813]

I know who I am not going to buy hosting from now.

[broken_arrow1]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

O and 6 on this one

You got that right.

[VeniVidiVici]

I’m sure Rackspace has twisted its user agreement to ban what the Dove church is doing.

Does anyone have any examples of what “hate speech” Rackspace it accusing them of using, or are they simply referring to the book burning itself?

Still waiting.
