It is news to almost nobody who reads American Thinker that a political witch hunt is underway. Parties in and out of government are looking for excuses to suppress and destroy voices that oppose the left.
Because AT lacks the ability to monitor comments in real time, and because our position that comments are a forum, not something that we publish, is being called into question, we can no longer publish comments.

What and othe sites need to do is work with someone they know from the comments section, set up a DISQUS enabled comment platform and just put the URL to the completely independent comment site up on the AT site as a referral.
That’s how I ended up being the main moderator at www.scottadamsfans.com
For a while, when DISQUS still had free channels, I was the owner of NPR comment section , because I moved fastest when theys shut down their own comments. It was hillarious to watch libtards struggle with conservative moderation.
agree, the day yahoo did it I was so mad because even though the article at yahoo was totally liberal in content, the comments at yahoo were the complete opposite. Just by the comments you knew Trump was going to win the election. I think that is why Yahoo shut the comments down several months before the election this time. They knew based on those comments people were beginning to ban together and feel and think the same way about him.
There were at least four articles published in today's paper to which I'd like to respond, in a timely manner. But they'll only accept one letter to the editor per month from the same individual. So I have to pick and choose which of equally important topics to address.
I go back to BBS on Commodore 64 days. When we went to 1200 baud and then 2400, we were over the moon! I could do great things with DOS, had my own little BBS, we had a blast back then. Another lifetime. 1980’s, 90’s...
Look into the Dissenter browser. Comment on any site.
It is very fast.
Do they have free email like Google?
I doubt it.
Yeah, me too...thought “that is wierd, why “AT Comments” a typo of “Commands”?
We may be headed back to the dial-up BBS days with what is going on with tyrannical censorship by leftist “social media”.
I have my old serial modem (kinda useless...current PC has no RS-232 port), and I bought a USB port dial-up modem (still in shrink wrap) for “emergency use”.
Not sure that many people would do this, and those who do comment may not have the skills to write an essay that meets American Thinker's submission guidelines.
