Brilliant. Excellent point. And the left will go after Christianity. The left hates Christians.
Nonsense. Many on the left are Christians; this is a largely christian nation. The left hates religion being forced on them, of any kind. Big difference.

Watch the video. That's definitely how a normal person deals with things.

US has practically no safeguards preventing the actions of Neo Nazi’s or Nazi sympathizers. One can make strong argument that president Trump has made statements which fail to condemn Neo Nazi movement. Even more so, Neo Nazi’s and radical right wing find Trumps message empowering which in itself is alarming.
This one's simple. Apple can ban whatever apps they want for whatever reason. What Apple did is entirely consistent with the First Amendment. But let-me-sell-you-brain-pills Jones has just lost a lucrative marketing tool for his male-appendage-enhancing l'huile de serpent, so he screams "censorship" at his not-very-smart listeners.
If you really need to have that Jonesware on your phone, form your own phone-making company.

Wake me when Catholic priests stop molesting children.
Hm... but conservatitives do the same with anthem kneeling. We’re told it is so reprehensible as speech or expression that it need be prohibited and not allowed. Punished. If not by law, by social justice. Character assination. Loss of employment. Business boycotting.
But, let me guess, that isn’t conservative authoritarianism used to supress an idea they don’t agree with.
Everyday conservative minds tell us it isn’t fair that they face demonization, social ostrcisim, loss of business, or lose employment because of their speech or expression of “hate”.
Oh boo hoo. Get in line. You’re not getting any symphony until you tell us that anthem kneeling is acceptable speech and expression.
Police, FBI, NSA and the rest of the US Government, including laws. 2nd amendment to protect our country by its citizens, if they have to. We can elect new president in few years.
We will be fine dude, the pumpkin spice latte is safe from Neo Nazis.

He is trending!
It wouldn't surprise me if he violated every item in the terms of service. The man was giving out address to the parents of Newtown School shooting and then they moved to stop the harassment, he would find them and give the address out again. This type of politics is wrong, weather is is being down by liberal or Conservatives.
A slippery slope?? I dunno man... I mean, I guess it’s healthy to be wary of these things.
While that's true, it's been established for decades. The fact that this couldn't have been foreseen is a testament to the dangers of putting faith in 'absolute' and 'indefinitely relevant' guidelines like religious texts and even constitutions that, I'm sorry, just aren't relevant forever. The bed has been made.
InfoWars business model is to sell goods. It's like a QVC for the paranoid. I do not agree with any of its messages, however nobody should be silenced. We enjoy free speech in this country, and we should hold on to that, even if the message irritates us. What is needed instead is a better education system. The amount of misinformation and lack of rational thinking is staggering in this country.
What’s funny is those championing this as an infringement on “free speech” are most likely the same ones who called for repealing Net Neutrality and celebrated it being destroyed.
You guys are hysterical cause you think SWATing should be protected free speech.
You talk about education, but forget or don't understand that this isn't a free speech issue.
It kind of is. He’s voice was removed from several platforms.
Let’s not go in circle again.
It's an amusing trend I've noticed recently to see the right call the left "insane". Funny... the left isn't the side colluding with Russia. The left isn't the side taking a national tragedy and saying it didn't happen. The left isn't the side banning transgender individuals from restrooms. The left isn't spewing nonsense about "family values" at rallies and then being caught having affairs in public restrooms. The left isn't gerrymandering and rigging the system for unfair advantages. The left doesn't have religious individuals calling for the death of LGBTQ people. The left isn't throwing rallies spewing hate speech and showing off their guns like psychopaths. The left isn't throwing a hissy fit because people are kneeling during the national anthem because of police brutality. The left isn't ripping up their Nike socks because of an ad campaign.
Nah, I think your definition of "insane" needs a revision or two... or twenty.

Yeah, let's not go in circleS again. PRIVATE COMPANIES DO NOT HAVE TO TOLERATE YOUR HATE SPEECH. THEY ARE NOT THE GOVERNMENT. GET IT THROUGH YOUR HEAD.

Except it's not. You don't have any right to publish any app you want in Apple's App store.
Maybe you fail to understand why this isn't a free speech issue. 768 posts and no one has explained this to you yet?
His free speech wasn’t taken away in this country, but it was taken away on the multiple platforms.
Do you get it now?
That guy has no right to publish in Apple's App store or on Twitter's platform.
Do you have the right to go to a department store and say whatever you want? No. They'd kick you immediately out. But but they stopping your speech?!?

Funny. You're the one who's throwing around "attacks" (not "atacks"... turn on spellcheck) by calling me an "old fart". What's being taken away from Jones is his right to post hate speech on whatever platform he desires. However, his first amendment right to free speech hasn't been taken away... he can stand on whatever street corner he wants, wherever he wants, and go on and on about how all those gun shootings never happened... and we all have the right to tell him to shut his cry hole.
In case you didn't understand that the first time... his ability to profit from being a liar was taken away, nothing else.
Apple rescinded Apple's permission for Alex to publish his app on Apple's App store.
Tritter rescinded Twitter's permission for Alex to post on Twitter's platform.
In other news, government has not blocked Infowars.
You do not need to be a man of God to see that hate and calls for harm against fellow man are evil. You only need to be human to see that telling a grieving parent that their child was a crisis actor is evil. You, sir, lack any moral compass and are not worthy of further discussion if you believe it is okay to harass grieving parents, full stop, end of conversation. As a long standing member of this community I feel confident in saying that such hate filled beliefs are not welcome here. Good day sir.
