Comment Re:Because they've abandoned their claimed princip (Score 5, Informative) 530

It happened a couple of days ago, if you've been watching the idiotic alt-right (nazi sympathizers) on YouTube. It started when trump threw them their next meme to bounce off their echo chamber walls: "alt-left".

Yes, and now opposing right wing extremists, nazis, and white supremacists is considered to be an "alternate" viewpoint.

Meet Eric Clanton, an Antifa -- Alt Left -- icon.

He's a professor at Berkeley. He teaches ETHICS.

He tried to murder 7 people with a Bike lock during the Berkley riots. Here's a video of one of his attacks:

Note that there are two female Alt-Left domestic terrorists that provide a distraction and point his victim out to Eric. Note that the other ISIS cosplaying losers protect Eric by opening a hole in the wall so he can attack and then preventing anyone from restraining Eric for the police.

Eric's reasoning? The students wanted to see a Gay Jewish Immigrant speak about the dangers of Islam and a Conservative woman talk about how great America is, and he felt that they shouldn't be allowed to do that.

Fortunately, thanks to 4chan tracking him down, he's looking at a long, LONG time in jail: http://www.berkeleyside.com/20...

There's an Alt Left, they're way worse than the Alt Right, and the more the "enlightened left" pretends they don't exist the more people like Clanton out there feel emboldened to try to murder people in the streets.

Wrong. There is no "hate speech" provision in the 1st amendment. To suggest otherwise shows:

1. A complete lack of understanding of American ideals.

2. A disgusting, horrifying level of illiberal authoritarianism, which makes me think you're some kind of arch Neo-Con on par with George Bush Jr or Hillary Clinton.

Like it or not, the most vile among us have the right to speak and assemble in public. This does not include having some hipster douchebags cosplaying as ISIS attacking them.

Now, you can make some argument about Google, Cloudfire, etc being private companies, but we're approaching the point where a handful of companies' decisions can have massive effects on citizen's free speech, which brings forth the idea that maybe, just maybe, the Government isn't allowed outsource censorship and oppression to corporations to do it for them -- in other words, that the 1st amendment prevents Google et all from discriminating like this.

"Hate speech," which is Google's complaint here, doesn't exist. It has no definition and what little definition it has shifts to mean "things I personally find offensive and that target a group I feel should not be targeted."

There is no legal definition of such and it is protected by the first amendment -- and any laws against "hate speech" would be struck down under those grounds.

The only legal liability involved is Google screwing up and surrendering their Common Carrier status due to discriminating against Youtube channels and Google Play apps. They are now liable for every single youtube video and app on the google play store -- and anything anyone does with them. If someone gets an app on Google Play that breaks Wifi passwords, Google is now liable for damage, because they gave up their Common Carrier status.

Jesus Christ. How many times does the WaPo have to put up some breathless "Anonymous sources say that Trump is secretly Putin's bitch, we got him this time guys really!" story before we stop believing this crap?

Podesta. Works. For. The. WaPo. You know, this Podesta? Hillary's Campaign Chair?

These articles are DNC Cointelpro. The Liberal version of Fox News and Breitbart. Nothing more, nothing less. Stop giving them attention.

Yes kiddos, this classic is back from the red scare era with a new printing! See also the new sequels, "Everyone I Don't Like is Alt-Right," "Everyone I Don't Like is a Fascist," and announcing a discount closeout sale on that classic bestseller from yesteryear, "Everyone I Don't Like is Hitler."

You know as well as everyone else that attacks can and have been spoofed.

Do you REALLY think that if the Russian Government was going to do something so in your face as what you suggest that they'd just jump on Planeta.ru and go to it?

Sophistry.

Desperation. They'd rather incite a war with a nuclear power than admit that Hillary Clinton wasn't electable, something everyone and their mother tried to tell them a year ago.
