[Marxism] Israeli Obama hate-speech video censored by Huffington Post

[Pat Costello <pt_costello@xxxxxxxxx>]

Why Did The Huffington Post Censor The Jewish Obama Hate Speech Video?

So: remember that terrible, shocking video of the awful frat-tards spewing 
racial epithets, screaming and trashing President Barack Obama in ways so 
debase, they're really not even worth quoting here? Well, The Huffington Post 
actually censored it. Why?

Max Blumenthal, the filmmaker who took the video, contributed to The Huffington 
Post previous to this, so it's not a one-off thing, nor a user-submitted video 
(like the Euna Ling issue at Current TV). He's a contributor. And he notes of 
his experience:

    Within a few hours, I received an email from a Huffington Post 
administrator informing me he had scrubbed my video from the site. "I don't see 
that it has any real news value," the administrator told me. "For me it only 
proves that one can find drunk people willing to say just about anything. 
Especially drunk, moronic people." For the first time, the premier 
clearinghouse for online news and opinions had suppressed one of my posts. 

...Bringing new meaning to the word "clearinghouse," certainly. Any request for 
comment has had us referred to Blumenthal's post on Phillip Weiss's blog 
regarding the fiasco, something it now officially is.
