As someone who believes in using a network of non-correlated news and information sources (much like a smart investment portfolio uses non-correlated investments to maximize risk/reward-based returns) to give me an well-rounded view on daily news events, I think that censorship like this should be examined very closely.

I've enjoyed the rants of Alex Jones in the past, just like I've enjoyed Joe Scarborough at MSNBC, Rush Limbaugh, Rachel Maddow, Keith Olbermann, and even Art Bell, so I find this coordinated attack and take down of one of these outlets to be worrisome.

Are we going to accept this current meme that "hate speech" (whatever the hell that is currently defined as) can only come from the Right?

If so, I'll pass on that idea...it's totally political in nature if that's the case and the last thing that I believe is helpful to the world is to have one political viewpoint, Right or Left, to totally run the show.

I think examples of Mr. Jones's banning "hate-speech" should be required if these companies are going to revoke his 1st Amendment protections and censor him, if nothing else then to warn others where the line is to be drawn.
