Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left. It's amazing the seeds of destruction that this guy and his ilk planted.

A little update, courtesy of WND, suggests that PayPal has backed off a bit:

It would sure be nice to know what the rubric is in terms of what constitutes “hate” and what does not.

I also noticed that I rudely forgot to mention that Google owns YouTube, just as eBay owns PayPal. Sorry about that.

I agree that competition is the way to go to find alternatives to YouTube, PayPal, and other services. How easy or difficult it is to introduce a new service, I am not sure (but before there was Facebook, there was MySpace.) I’d like to see that happen in this case. (FYI do you realize that a competitor to “Whole Foods” has been making inroads into West Coast locations previously dominated by that chain? “Sprouts,” offering lower prices on organic products http://fastfood.freedomblogging.com/whole-foods-vs-sprouts-price-comparison/ ) It would be nice if we could see the same thing happen with internet services.

While I am certainly not shocked to see Big Business work in concert with Big Government and their enablers, it is disappointing nonetheless. Google is becoming just like Apple, coming to exemplify something Vox Day terms "technofascism". I thought parodies were part of fair use under copyright law. Not that the law matters much in the "Age of the Idiot"...

On what grounds did the US deny his claim of asylum?? Presumably, Israel can grant him asylum.

Concerning YouTUBE – I did not think that copyright law applied to parodies. Many satirical songs were creted from variants of popular songs throughout history. Of course, the trend of copyright law has been to stifle free speech (such as the prosecution of “The Wind Done Gone” by the corporate heirs to Margaret Mitchell of Gone With the Wind).

It's the same all over the place. Islam-critical "Politically Incorrect" is the most-read of all political blogs in Germany with up to 70,000 visitors per day. The Facebook accounts of Dr. Christine Dietrich and Stefan Herre, who are behind the blog, have been terminated without any warning and explanation while hatred of Israel and Jews is raging there undisturbed.
