I did a chat with their on line chat people and asked for all of their clients web sites to see if they were adhering to the rules too and they declined to give me any info and cut the chat short.

Free market. Dove dude can find a ISP that will host his stuff.
Not a issue of free speech.

Apparently, freedom of speech is an illusion being it is simply defined by those in power and the idiotic whims of extreme judges.... =.=

“Goodgame said Dove World Outreach Center had violated “hate speech” provisions of its contract with Rackspace.”

(so much for freedom of speech) A private company canceled the service, as was their right. The First Amendment doesn't apply.
