It may be a big DUH! to most posters;
But it's nice, at least to me, to know where the hate filled crap that eminates from freeperville actually comes from;

Many hate groups favor U.S. Internet servers
Watchdog group bemoans lack of oversight of inflammatory Web content

In its eighth annual report on Internet hate speech, the Wiesenthal Center said it had logged some 6,000 Web sites in the past year used by racists and bigots to incite violence.

The pages, many of which the center archived on compact disc, range from rantings by American white supremacists to execution videos distributed by Islamic terror groups.

Much of the hateful material originated overseas, but when extremist anti-Americans go looking for a place to post their bile, they often find it easier and cheaper to use a site hosted in America.

Gives new meaning to 'Made in the U.S.A.'

2. I don't want censorship
but I do want balance. Hate should never be unopposed. That may mean balancing the Christian Identity web vomit with SPLC and PFAW, or it may eventually mean disclaimers on the pages of both sites that encourage people to read all sides before they make up their minds.

I may hate what you say, but I will defend your right to say it.
