So you’re saying Jones is born with his condition, and kicking him off iTunes will kill him?
Pettifoggery at its best.
Also, it's censor. Precedence is a legal structure. YouTube is a privately-owned website that doesn't have to host specific content and therefore when the site decides not to host the lies of a man who once claimed that chili made him forget details and that that Alex Jones is a character he portrays it's not censorship.
I'd also suggest you review the half-dozen lawsuits against Jones from parents of the children killed at Sandy Hook and think about the situation.
Jones is a liar. He claimed that the Tucson shooting was fake as well, and I still remember the stains of blood in the Safeway parking lot and dust from the helicopters lifting off from the street to carry the wounded to a nearby hospital.
Jones is a liar.
It’s not so much the suppression, which is kind of to be expected, it’s just the joyful, demonic glee of suppressing people they find uncomfortable and distasteful. It’s like Christmas for these people (if only they believed in God, Christ or Christmas).

We should probably just tie him up and throw him off a cliff. Then he can never bother anyone again
"Social Justice Warrior" is a term mentally ill, violent, left-wing authoritarians use to describe themselves. It doesn't come from the right. It comes from the left.
So, you're arguing that being a monstrous fabulist who convinced followers to harass parents whose children were murdered is a protected class, and that not being to publish insane ramblings wherever you want will kill them?
By your argument, YouTube should have to publish everything, including violent videos and pornography.
It's not really the left's fault the backlash to the first black president resulted in the election of an ignorant, corrupt, pathological liar as the next president with the support of a racist and xenophobic base that wants to blame their problems on anyone but themselves.
A base that includes flat-earthers by the way.
God forbid we have a society that expects more empathy from people.
Whenever someone complains about political correctness, it's usually just code for "It sucks I can't be a jerk to folks without taking crap for it now."
Well, that would be murder. But, as Jones is only a character, maybe we can get away with it. I'm in.
They don’t need any more people to find the thread. All the fun ones are already here.
Or we just create a Youtube channel and broadcast an "alert" warning people that Alex Jones wasn't thrown off a cliff, and it was just a stunt crisis actor.

This sort of simplistic analysis of the last election result is exactly what will cause him to win another term. Writing it off to “racism and xenophobia” makes for a convenient talking point but not much else.
They never published pornographers. They’ve been publishing Jones for well over a decade. Until now, of course.
If Hillary Clinton were president, do you think this would be happening?
This is just part of the left’s never ending temper tantrum. They will scream and censor and lash out. And lash out some more. And harass you in restaurants. And shout outside your door at night. And harangue you when you are out with your family.
The left are absolute fascists. But they have mastered and cornered the market on language, that’s for sure
It's actually data, but you're right; there are several factors that played into the last election. Dismissing racism and xenophobia has been a convenient talking point for Trumpkins.
Oh boy, here we go with the tired and baseless claims of racism and xenophobia. I'm guessing you also believe any black conservative is a sellout and an Uncle Tom too right?It's not really the left's fault the backlash to the first black president resulted in the election of an ignorant, corrupt, pathological liar as the next president with the support of a racist and xenophobic base that wants to blame their problems on anyone but themselves.

Punishing me when I spent untold hours, sacrificed my time with my wife and kids, and lived (and still do!) as a broke college kid by allowing a less qualified, lower GPA, lower MCAT score student access to a medical school is real empathy. And with people who think like you think, you must resort to the same tired baseless name calling that I'm somehow heartless because I don't believe that anyone should be entitled to anything based on skin tone. Just because you're black or brown doesn't give you the right to be entitled anything. It should be merit based and it has nothing to do with compassion towards those less fortunate. Affirmative action is nothing more than rebranded lipstick covered racism.
Wouldn’t shock me if someone lefty offed him. Like they tried to do with Scalise.
Do you believe it's good to insult someone based on characteristics they were born with and have no control over, such as race or sexuality? Political correctness is just about avoiding that. So what if people are afraid to cause offence based on those characteristics? Good, they should be. It's a terrible thing to do and has no place in a good society.
Apple removing content from their site has nothing to do with "freedom of speech" as the person who I quoted claimed. That was in reference to my post you quoted. The poster claimed the "left was removing freedom of speech" which is factually false. Jones ability to speak out is perfectly intact and removing his content from Apples site does not reflect or infringe on Jones freedom of speech.
To many people confuse the idea that freedom of speech is covered under private sites and that too is simply false. From Apple to macrumors to reddit and so on, they can limit what content goes on their site. Limiting X content does not infringe on person Y's free speech. By using someone elses service you are agreeing to their rules. Unless Apple agreed to give people freedom of speech in the first place, then they didn't remove Jones freedom of speech. People are free to speak out again that but blocking X content on Y site is not a free speech issue and it's sure as hell isn't a "left removing freedom of speech" thing either.
Of course Apple is free to dictate the content on their site and yes of course customers are free to criticize Apple's move, never claimed other wise.
No political correctness means you can't be honest anymore and speak the truth for fear of offense. What the hell happened to sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.
You are 100% accurate.Oh boy, here we go with the tired and baseless claims of racism and xenophobia. I'm guessing you also believe any black conservative is a sellout and an Uncle Tom too right?

Zing. I've seen post after post on here trying to excuse her behavior.
