Pastor James Manning Banned From YouTube For "Hate Speech"

Though his channel remains public, Pastor James David Manning has been restricted from posting new material on YouTube for “hate speech”, simply for stating his religious views.

With the passage of the new “hate crimes” bill, this opens up the door for an all out assault on religion and free speech.

I’ve reported several times over the last week that the most popular YouTube channel dedicated to Michael Savage has been repeatedly banned from YouTube over the last few days. Who will be next?

‘I think we will increasingly need to find off-shore locations to host content. “

If I were out to ban “hate speech” I’d fine any local node server for distributing it. An offshore host won’t work well if the DNS servers, backbone routers, and local nodes get big fines for “distributing hate speech”.

We have learned this lesson in the past with BigMedia and BigAcademia. Conservatives vacated the field and left it to the leftists who used it to bash us relentlessly and sell their potion of moral license and big brotherism to the nation.

Slowly, conservatism is getting its voice heard through outlets like EIP, talk radio, and some on FoxNews.

On the internet, the freedom of blogdom made it possible for many outlets, Free Republic being the premier conservative site, to thrive and have an impact.

Rather than bemoan YouTube (and I’m sure FaceBook and Twitter will follow), conservatives should approach a technically proficient conservative with the ability and resources to put up a FreeTube, a FreeBook, and a Free-ter.

Maybe our own Robinson family, with their contacts in cyberworld, knows someone(s) with that mix of expertise and resource.

No, you all are missing the point. YouTube is a private property, owned by the shareholders of Google, Inc. They can censor anything they want, for any reason, arbitrary or not because they own the servers, they own the software, and they own the intellectual property rights.

This isn't a freedom of speech issue. It's about someone who owns an asset being able to say what is and is not permitted on their property. It's the same reason the owner of Free Republic has the right to moderate or determine what is permissible to publish - it's his property.

If the courts were allowed to step in and say freedom of speech applied, Free Republic wouldn't be able to stop radical liberals from posting their own stories or drowning out the discussion here. We may not like the application in this particular instance, but the Constitutional right to determine what is and is not permissible on your "land", so to speak, must be protected at all costs.

Is there an alternative to YouTube—one that people actually use?

LiveLeak, Tangle (formerly GodTube), blip.tv, metacafe, and ustream.

 

And there are others.

Guys, just to let you all know, there is another video site where conservatives won't get harassed and erased like they do on YouTube.

In fact, Rev. Manning's latest is up there.
