Paypal's "Mistake"

Under public pressure, Paypal removes "hate" designation from human rights sites, claiming it made a mistake. But Paypal continues to do business with Islamic sites promoting violence, hate and terror.

SIOA Applauds Paypal's Decision to Reinstate Pro-Freedom Sites

Geller explained: "The decision that Atlas Shrugs, SIOA, and FDI constitute 'hate sites' was an example of the ongoing attempt by Leftists and Islamic supremacist groups like the Hamas-linked hate group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to rule their political opposition outside the bounds of acceptable and reasonable political discourse."

She added: "The goal behind accusations of 'hatred' and 'bigotry' leveled against groups like SIOA and FDI, which are dedicated to defending human rights and American Constitutional values, is to silence them so that Islamic supremacists can have free rein to restrict the rights of Americans without opposition. PayPal's capitulation to this smear campaign was an ominous sign."

But on Monday, a PayPal representative contacted Geller to inform her that Atlas Shrugs, SIOA and FDI had been mistakenly designated "hate sites," and that the designations would be removed. The reversal follows an avalanche of critical emails PayPal received from followers of the enormously popular Atlas Shrugs blog.

PayPal's pro-freedom reversal comes just as the Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a press release applauding its earlier capitulation to the foes of free speech and the politicization of services. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case -- so named by the Justice Department during the trial of the Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation.

Paypal Supports Islamic Atrocities

Meanwhile, Paypal "joins the jihad", attempting to cut off free speech at Atlas Shrugs, persecuting Pamela Geller, who is devoted to informing the public about and rescuing individuals from Islamic tyranny and butchery.

Paypal Cuts Off Atlas: Truth is the New Hate Speech

The little money that Atlas generates (I have no large donors) is about to be cut off. Apparently the jihad is hard at work trying to kill free speech (and the bus ads and the 911 no mosque movement and the book), preventing the truth from making its way to those in pursuit of it. Paypal contributions help pay for bus ads, rallies, live coverage (everything), and I so much as said so when asked repeatedly by the press who paid for the bus ads. Readers do and did.

Paypal is calling Atlas a "hate" site and will close my account if I do not remove the paypal option from my website. Accurate reporting and news is hate.

Truth is the new hate speech:

Please email or call paypal and let them know Atlas Shrugs is a news site and political blog. I am not responsible for the bad news in the world. I just report.
[...]
UPDATE: SIOA and FDI just got notified as well. There are no accidents. I said repeatedly in news stories that the money for the bus ads came from my websites -- that there were no large donors. So the global jihad, choking on petrodollars, is trying to shut down my little spigot.
[...]

UPDATE: Oh, the irony. Atlas reader Jon pints out that the inciters to violence and Jewish genocide, Revolution Muslim, has a paypal button. Got that?

Islam in Action has the videos of their calls to jihad slaughter. And this, too. Nice work, paypal.

UPDATE: McCain over at the Spectator: PayPal.com Targets Conservative Blog as 'Hate' Site and here too.

UPDATE: Wait, it gets better. Paypal's policy bans users from selling "items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or the financial exploitation of a crime."

I am not selling anything. But this ebayer is. He is selling dvd's of imam Anwar al-Awlaki's incitement -- his racist, violent jihad screeds.

Awlaki is the imam to the worst of the jihad stars, like the 911 Muslim terrorists, the Fort Hood jihadi Hasan, the Times Square car bomber, the Christmas balls bomber, 7/7 London Bombers , 7/21 London Bombers, the leader of the transatlantic airline bombers , et al.
