#1 AIPAC and ADL are flexing their muscles, intimidating Americans all over. They're working with Paypal to refuse financial services to anyone who dissents from their cause. Before you laugh, realize that Rantburg will one day be blacklisted due to its dissident nature.

How about foreigners get their nose out of our politics and mind their own business? Omar is a complete America-hating fuckface, but nobody deserves this, even her.

#2 ^Rantburg was threatened with being blacklisted once before and the way the event was handled was disappointing during its otherwise stellar existence over the years.

So American Jews are foreigners in your book, Slomorong?

#6 If I'm not mistaken the lovely and charming Ms Omar was born in Somalia and came to the US at around age five. I don't care enough to go look it up. While Minnesota was probably cultural shock, apparently you can take the girl out of Somalia, but you can't take Somalia out of the girl. Pity.

#8 Oh come now. AIPAC isn't under the control of Israel? Let us be adults here.

It's just a matter of time until that PayPal button on the bottom of the screen leads to an error page. Everything they did to Alex Jones, they'll do to you, too.

#9  giyoret

My new word for the day. Thank you, Besoeker.

Knuckles Slererong5344, I send Mr. Pruitt a check or cash through the mail whenever he blegs. I don’t have a PayPal account, so their nonsense has no impact on me.

^Rantburg was threatened with being blacklisted once before and the way the event was handled was disappointing during its otherwise stellar existence over the years.

Eh? When was that, Ebbomoger Speaking for Boskone4589?

#10 During the Obama Regime years. When a left wing private law firm was threatening right wing blogs with expensive law suits based on content and even the comments of their readers. Fred got one of their letters. Fred mentioned the expense to fight would be too expensive for Rantburg. Matt Drudge refused to comply and that resistance eventually led to their demise back when DrudgeReport was hard right and would not be intimidated but this site and many others capitulated for a short while.

#11 I take issue with the assertion that Omar doesn't deserve this. You buy the ticket, you take the ride.

#12 What was it that Harry Truman said? Oh yeah.

If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

And he was a Democrat.

#14 And the minute PayPal refused to accept my contribution to Rantburg will be the minute I stop using PayPal for anything.

#15  When a left wing private law firm was threatening right wing blogs with expensive law suits based on content and even the comments of their readers. Fred got one of their letters.

Do you mean the so-called copyright enforcement company, Righthaven? Fred originally posted about it here. I would have described the situation as attempted blackmail rather than blacklisting — except for boycotting articles from the Las Vegas Review-Journal, adding site attribution in square brackets at the top of each article, generally posting only the key paragraphs of articles from American sources, and Fred developing Auto Translate, we carried on as before. That problem went away at the end of 2011, when the court ruled Righthaven had no standing to sue for infringement; the company subsequently went bankrupt. We kept the practices as defense against future attempts, and because some of the autotranslations preserve accumulated knowledge about various players on the board.

We separately developed a rule about not saying things that appear to threaten American citizens, but that was to keep from causing Fred problems from his peers.

Thank You for the key to "Fred's Basement"

#19 Precisely TW. Seemed as though only yesterday but it was 10 years ago. It was a rather aggressive campaign by the left via that "entity". I will never forget that very troubling incident.

#20 LOL Rantburg actually paid Righthaven? That was D-U-M dum. Maybe taking away the Paypal button would be an improvement.

#21  LOL Rantburg actually paid Righthaven?

I think in the end Fred did not pay, Mr. Slomorong Thraiger7030. But until the courts ruled against Righthaven, preparations had to be made — and it wouldn’t have been right to let him bear the burden alone.

Thank You for the key to "Fred's Basement"
