 OFF TOPIC[Site Related]: Blatant Displays of Hate on the Forums
Ok, I know about the "rights" issue with people who are racist bigots, anti-semitic, and other examples of this sort of stupidity.

YOU HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO THESE VIEWS. I HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO NOT ONLY DISAGREE COMPLETELY WITH THESE VIEWS, BUT ALSO HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THESE VIEWS.

What does this forum believe? Should these people be allowed to express these hateful views and use this website as a means to spread them or should we restrict this site to the message of freedom and individuality, of justice and peace? Should we allow these people to use this site as a means to spread views that are the EXACT OPPOSITE to the views that gave rise to this grassroots movement, of which this site owes its existence?

What would Ron Paul do if someone posted anti-semitic comments on the widget on his website?

Moderators and site owners/administrators: ban blatant displays of hate! I trust you to come up with the best and most fair way to accomplish this.

There are potential voters viewing this site and many are being turned off by some blatant displays of hate. Enough is enough, stop letting these hypocrites hijack our message as if they supported it!
Gee. No one at RPF believe the Newsletter story, but when RP supporters say the same things...

I think the message should be erased and the member should be banned... keep in mind that people may come to this website and think that we are all racists/bigots/etc because of what some small minded person said. If they want to speak their piece somewhere else they can go to a KKK rally or White Guys-R-Us group meeting.

Most of what is claimed to be anti-semitism is nothing of the kind --- its criticism of the state of Israel or a cabal of Jews sharing the US-Israeli imperial agenda.
Denial. Its not just a river in Egypt.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Seems like they are more concerned about appearances than substance.

Great idea. Someone send a note along to Drudge, "Ron Paul banned from Ron Paul forum".  :-) (nice little headline eh?)  :-)

Kind of like back on "3rd Rock" where Sally used her power as a Board member to kick herself out of the complex.
