Infowars host Alex Jones has found a new platform to spew his hate speech.

Social networking site Tumblr announced Wednesday that it was “closely monitoring” Jones’ Infowars page after other major companies kicked the serial harasser off their platforms.

In a statement to HuffPost, Tumblr said it would not take immediate action to take down Jones’ page after he recently became active on the platform again. (Tumblr, HuffPost and AOL.com are both owned by Verizon.)

“Alex Jones and Infowars had been inactive on Tumblr for nearly a year until this week when they began posting again,” the company said in a statement. “We are closely monitoring this matter and will take action if there are violations of our policy.”

Jones has peddled dangerous conspiracy theories for years and is currently facing five separate defamation lawsuits....

What exactly is this purported “hate speech” they are accusing him of anyway?

In all the hubbub about this, I still haven’t seen one explanation of what exactly he is supposed to have said that is so objectionable.

“What exactly is this purported “hate speech” they are accusing him of anyway?”

He probably just said that he liked Trump better than Obama-————that’s considered racist hate speech these days.

I heard that Samuel Adams and Tom Paine had harsh remarks about King George and now will go to prison for it. Their gentle statements about him were okay, though. Others who are loyalists to the crown will have full rights of speaking and printing pamphlets as they please.

Oops, that’s a little out of date. Sorry.

They are accusing him of having said that Ogunghole was bringing in muzzies that believe in suicide bombing at a rate of 13,000+ per anum.

I have no idea what actually was said.

Next week on the News:

The Bible will be banned from all internet sites due to hate speech against prostitutes, homosexuals, and women.

Also to note, the TaNaKh was banned for Jewish racism, as they call themselves “God’s People”.

It is called projectionism. They accuse Jones of all that they are guilty of doing. Since they cannot repent, they must project. Of course they could just skip that whole sinning to begin with, but that ship sailed many moons ago.
