Huffington Post Shielding Corrupt Politicians From Negative Comments.

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.



Here is a little exchange I recently had with Huffington Post over their policy of censoring posts that call politicians traitors.

Rickcarufel, Dec-02 05:22 (EST):

 

Every time the senate votes for unconstitutional laws I post calling them traitors to America and the constitution and call for their removal from office as domestic terrorists. Every time I do that my post is deleted. How can you justify censoring me when the criminals in Washington are the ones breaking the law and violating their oath of office. Today was about the sixth post that was deleted.

 

Stephanie H., Dec-10 17:58 (EST):

While you are welcome to express your displeasure with our elected officials, calling them traitors and terrorists is a little “over the top” and does not fall within our guidelines (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/p/frequently-asked-question.html#moderation). Our underlying purpose for having these rules is to maintain civility and respect on the site – which pejorative name calling clearly is not.

There are several other examples within your comment history, where you call people bimbos, imply that some people are fascists or Nazi-esque, or compare public figures to reptiles.

You are welcome to hold any opinion you choose and generally express those on the Huffington Post as we don’t moderate based on ideology or opinion. However, your comments crossed a line into name calling and insults on others. This community is a space for open and safe discussion and dialog, not for attacking and belittling other groups of people that you may disagree with.

Hi Stephanie,

 

I beg to differ.  When elected officials vote for legislature that the public does not want and violates the US constitution they are traitors.  When said legislation allows the military to be used as police and suspends the rights to due process they are terrorists.  This is not name calling, this is fact.  When I state the above in posts and am censored for it, you are only supporting these traitorous and terroristic acts.  We are at war, the corporations have attacked the constitution and endevour to make us all their debt slaves.  Since they were first allowed to demand drug screening for jobs, a direct violation to the 5th amendment, they have, through lobbying and contributions to politicians, waged a war on the constitution and the American way of life.  So no, calling politicians the traitors and terrorists they are is not over the top.  It is right on the money.  The last bit of legislation the senate passed classifies every American as a terrorist and criminal who can be held without charges or trial indefinitely.  That is the same policies as Nazi Germany.   So who are the terrorists and traitors?

 

The definition of a newt is not calling someone a reptile.  It is not my fault some politician would choose to call himself such a name.  You say these forums are for “Open and safe” discussions whatever that may mean.  The truth is that corrupt politicians have brought this country to ruin and you shield them from the public ridicule they rightly deserve.

 

Thanks, Happy Holidays.

Rick

      Rick, you are spinning your wheels, hufpo is merely a cog in the machine that is government,.. government allows media to exist at its “the gvt’s” whim.
      They, the media.. are in collusion with the corruption that is government.
      We were sold out long ago, by both.
