Dear David F.,

Beautifully put, as always.

Foxy- This is a little off topic... I've noted some here have to check their facts better too. I've even on occasion been known to get something wrong. It's the nature of the internet. But I assume you would have an example but you've said that you don't repeat hate speech. The organisations you've quoted don't have the authority to judge law so they are kangaroo courts- surely being a well read person you can come up with better sources if your argument has merit...

It's concerning that commercial entities such as Paypal are becoming political. It goes to the heart of the financial systems integrity.

Foxy said- "The Southern Poverty Law Center monitors hate groups"

Answer- I would say "The Southern Poverty Law Center monitors "suspected" hate groups". People are not guilty of Hate Crimes until they are convicted.
If the FBI felt that they were hate groups they would list them as a proscribed organisation. It's generally considered bad form in law to judge someone guilty by association. But some people are frustrated and so sometimes let their frustrations get them into trouble.

The "Southern Poverty Law Center"- Many don't appear to hold them in high regard from what I understand from previous reading. Just did a Wiki search couldn't find anything damning. Seems similar to the Anti Defamation League- who appears to be an Israeli front group. Sometimes it helps to understand these groups by checking their membership. At first glance this group is a vigilante law firm- that take advantage of the burden of proof differences between civil and criminal law. Perhaps someone needs to create a "Law Center for Free Speech". I'm uncertain if the SPLC is a Jewish lobby group but these lobbies appear to be very powerful in Hollywood and Washington and disproportionate to their representative population.

"Antifa" groups are apparently very aggressive... and are possibly breaking the law.

Well thanks for that David. I never knew that Genghis Khan & the Ottoman Empire were Christian.

You learn something every day on OLO.

The Anti-Defamation_League was founded in 1913 – 35 years before Israel existed.

Answer- From your wiki article "The Anti-Defamation League (ADL; formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith) is an international Jewish non-governmental organization"

In Australia it appears to be named the Anti Defamation Commission.

The old chestnut again, all Muslims are evil, unless they are champion sportsmen or women who play for my team, truth is about at the least a thousand Muslims are murdered by Muslims for every other victim, and in truth more information all over the world about terrorism comes from other Muslims,hate is always blind
