    No, the point does not stand. This is no better than what they do, in their own sanctimonious high horse posturing.

    You either have principles or you don’t. A rule for thee but not for me does not fly.

    This isn't about blacklisting someone for the wrong politics. This is about blacklisting people who gleefully defamed an innocent family. One is essentially a thought crime, the latter is "penalizing" someone due to concrete unethical actions.

    Seriously, Lewk? So someone being racist should enjoy protection for their speech (i.e., Milo), but people accusing others of racism should not? It's telling that you think white supremacists aren't unethical.

    Da fk? You are free not to hire genuine racists either. I say genuine because apparently anyone to the left of Stalin is automatically a racist and a Nazi in the eyes of the left. For example Sarah Jeong has as history of direct non-humor based sexist and racist statements and I don't think the NYT should have hired her.

    Lewk, you've consistently defended the rights of white supremacists to spew hate speech on free speech grounds. You've gone after organizations that punished white supremacists in any way. Because free speech is great. Unless people using free speech are supporting beliefs you disagree with. White supremacy is not one of those beliefs, apparently.

    Everyone has the right to free to speech.

    Social media shouldn't censor opposing views.

    They have a legal right to censor opposing views.

    People who maliciously smear others and can be proven to have cause economic harm should be sued.

    People who present a risk to a business should be screened.

    People who have demonstrated a lack of honesty and a desire to hurt others with lies should be screened.

    Which statements do you disagree with?
