'The Speech Police?' Ignore them and they'll go away. Argue with them and they love it!

I'm a conservative. I used to get news from ABC online and leave comments. I was banned after leaving comments that didn't violate ABC policy whatsoever. The other day I was banned by Breitbart, apparently after posting a quote on race by the character Archie Bunker from the sitcom "All in the Family", of all things. I contacted Breitbart for an explanation and got none. I can still read articles and comments there, and note that MANY regular users are "missing". Some may have left by choice, but I really get the feeling that Breitbart has "purged", and I'm not talking about it banning off the chart, hateful uber right types, I'm talking about good and reasonable conservatives being banned.

I've also seen good comments on Breitabart that didn't violate any policy get removed, just as on ABC News. Readers can flag comments of course but it's moderators who do the actual removing, and don't even get me started on the list of words that can't be used now on Breitbart. For some bizarre reason, you can't use the name "Val" in a comment. You can use the word "killed", but not "kill", so you couldn't easily comment on the book, "To Kill a Mocking Bird". You can say "Jewish people" but not "Jews", which means that you have to get creative when commenting in support of Trump's support for Israel, or expressing disdain for attacks on places of worship. There are many more Orwellian examples of this as well.

Not sure what's driving this but I suspect that "money issues", advertisers leaving, and pressure from entities like Disqus has something to do with it. Meanwhile, Breitbart is now flooded with liberal trolls. A very few try to interact in thoughtful ways but most come to mock, ridicule, stereotype, agitate, condemn, preach and annoy. Breitbart doesn't seem to have a problem with them, despite their presence undermining the conservative sense of community that many once found on this site.

I suspect that many of those funding places like Breitbart and Fox are arabic these days. It certainly would explain quite a bit.

Was banned today as well, most likely over a comment about CAIR, I guess the muddhutter's are not for free speech. FSCK them.

I see a lot of Democrats coming on Brietbart being hateful towards President Trump and fans and I block them..maybe that is why I just got blocked.

Did they ever let you back?

I just got banned..they are saying I might be a troll but I have been posting for years. The comment I made before getting banned had the word..Hell in it. Guess that did it?

I was banned from BB for calling out a blatant racist, who was saying blacks deserve what they get.. Now I am banned for life. Anyone know how to get unbanned?

I haven't visited BB in ages, since pretty much after Mr. Breitbart died. I had the utmost respect for him and to this day am saddened that he couldn't see the emergence of Conservatism caused by his words.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if someone with an agenda bought the site or someone was hired that is far less conservative.

Have you committed a thought crime lately?

Everything I post on Breitbart is suddenly under scrutiny. Even ‘hello’

It’s starting to sound like, “The Purge.”

My comments are being deleted from breitbart as well. What the hell is going on over there?
