    Just because it's legal censorship doesn't change a single thing about the fact that it's censorship.

    Book burning is a perfectly legal activity as well.

    Only if you are burning your own property. Simply not publishing something isn't "censorship" by any reasonable estimation. By that logic you are committing "censorship" if you refuse to let a campaign volunteer put an "Outlaw guns, socialism forever, hail Satan, mandatory sexual reassignment for all male children!!!!!!!" sign in your yard. I can have some printed if you want.

    Or you can just make that your signature since failing to publish people's views for them is "censorship."

    What you describe is actually illegal.

    You can not discriminate based on race.

    You're wrong, we argued all that stuff when the gay wedding cake was a hot issue, and back then you guys said Public means Public no matter how strongly we disagreed with the opposing viewpoint.

    I thought it was more then that too. If you are open to the public, you have to serve them, as long as they obey the TOS.

    Which is why I said "IMO" regarding whether or not it should be permissible instead of remarking about current law. But if you want to talk about current law, political beliefs are not a protected class.

    Yes, within certain "protected" parameters.

    Race being one.

    Of course, when the other side is for it, you don't get much coverage.

    Sounds like you were saying you were for racial discrimination by businesses.

    You are either being sarcastic and wrong or you are starting to gasp the concepts of private property rights, freedom of association, and freedom of speech for publishers. I really wish I had confidence it was the later.

    All you’re showing is that you weren’t paying attention during that discussion.
    Extremists are not a group that is protected by civil rights protections.

    So it's okay to demand the NFL silence NFL football players but Facebook can't ban Louis Farrakhan if they want to?

    I'm not. I don't like censorship at all. If trump hugged David Duke or Luis farakahn I'd lose all respect for the guy. I wouldn't want the photo hidden either. I would want everyone to see it.

    Democrats don't seem to mind Luis farakahn and have no issue embracing him. I find the ones that do disgusting :puke:

    Yes, I did mean the latter. And, sorry, you aren't talking to the left right now. You are talking to an economically right libertarian who is criticizing your abandonment of property rights. Looks like you are to the left of me on that one, bud.
